knowledgeable and friendly

I have limited experience with lawyers so I can tell you these guys were friendly knowledgeable and caring they picked up all the slack that I didn't even know I was supposed to grab I'm not the best communicator when it comes to explaining my needs but with their knowledge base they knew what questi...ons to ask me to best help me with my issues all I can say is they crossed every T and Dot'ed every I am very happy with them and will definitely use them again if the need ever arises I definitely recommend that you give them a call if you're looking for someone to have your back ...thanks guys

Great Law Firm

Out of the decisions I made 2 years ago, the only good one was hiring the Medlin Law firm. They represented me on a DWI, and a serving alcohol to a minor. They really sunk their teeth into both cases, and worked tirelessly. They walked me through each step, as we were taking them throughout the whole... process. In my cases, alot was at stake for me. They kept me calm throughout, and answered all of my questions. They got me the best possible deal for my situation. I dont feel that they would have offered that to anyone else except Matt Peacock. I could sense the admiration that the court clerk and Judge had for him, with how they addressed him. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, I will only hire them.

Professional and Get the job done!

My attorneys worked well as a team and represented me before the court, in a caring and professional manner, and truly made me feel supported and I trusted them 100%. They worked diligently and eventually had my case dismissed! What a great day that was! The Medlin Law Firm was a true blessing to m...e and my family. I would definitely use them again but hope I never have to!

Great Results

My lawyer did his research on my case an kept fighting for me until the end. The result was that my cases got dismissed an I couldn’t be anymore happier. I would recommend this Attorney to any and everyone.

Posted by William | February 20, 2020 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Perfect experience

I hired the Medlin team to handle my DWI, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results I got. It was my second offense and they were able to negotiate a great deal for me. They got the DWI dropped to a traffic obstruction. Dean was very helpful through the experience in court and Angela kept me ...up to date on everything that was going on! Thank you all very much. I hope to never have to use you all again but in the event that I do require legal representation again, The Medlin team is the only number I will call.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I met Gary at a conference. As a fellow criminal defense lawyer in a different state, I was interested in knowing how criminal laws operate in Texas. I was able to discern that Gary knows what he is talking about with regard to DUI and other criminal laws. If I had a client in Texas I would recommend to Gary."

"I endorse this lawyer. Gary Medlin is a "stand-up" criminal lawyer and the "go-to" lawyer in Tarrant County for ALR hearings. I have regularly hired him as local counsel in Fort Worth and I will continue to do so."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Gary Medlin for the better part of the past 20+ years. Highly intelligent and super conscientious, Gary genuinely cares about taking care of the rights of his clients. Further, his personal and professional integrity is beyond reproach. I would trust him with any referral involving a criminal matter. If for whatever reason, he believed that due to his caseload, time constraints or any other limitation that he was not the best possible attorney for the case, I know he'd make sure the client got into the hands of the person best equipped to help. In short, my endorsement is simply unequivocal. M Beth Krugler, JD MS Attorney-Mediator Former President, Tarrant Bar Assoc."

"Gary is a gentleman and a scholar who helped me out recently when I was in a bind and needed some help on a case that had some Texas implications. He was Johnny on the spot, interrupted his weekend, and followed through perfectly. I am glad not only to call him a colleague, but also my friend."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
