The Best!

I was referred to the Medlin Law Firm by a friend, and after her testimony, and reading so many other people’s positive reviews, I decided to hire them, and I’m so glad I did! They made the entire process as pain-free and quick as possible, two things anyone in a legal bind hopes for. Any time I had ...a question, Angela and even my attorney, Dean, were there to help me right away. The entire firm makes you feel like they truly care about you and your case. Mr. Medlin even returned my call after hours just to answer my questions. You won’t get this kind of customer service with many law firms. Not to mention, they got my case dismissed, which was the best possible outcome. You get what you pay for, and this is no exception. It was worth every penny, and I’d hire them again. You won’t be disappointed!

Highly Professional - Top Quality Firm

Medlin Law was there for me from the moment I walked through their door. I was searching for a Law Firm that would represent me with confidence, and top-notch professionalism. I found that immediately upon speaking with them in person, and I knew that my case had a fighting chance with representation... from Medlin. They welcomed me without judgement, and listened to my side of the story, and ultimately got my case dismissed. I would recommend this Law Firm to anyone. Writing a review is the least I could do to pay Medlin Law my graditude in return for my Freedom. 5 Stars without a doubt.

life Saver

I was happy to find this law firm. upon my initial consultation, they listen to my case, they took their time in explaining expectation and outcomes. They said what they promise, their office was always prompt in returning my calls in 30 mins or less. If you need help I would say, stop your search... and go with the Medlin Firm! They will take care of you. They remembered my birthday even and send me a card. Happy with my end result in my case. Thanks Medlin team!!

Mr

My Lawyer was able to get my felony assault /family member charge lowered to a misdemeanor that’s equivalent to a ticket, no jail time or probation, as long as I stay out of trouble for 180 days plus, expungement from my record after 3 yrs.

"Gary hired me to work for him after spending four years in the District Attorney's office in Tarrant County. Since working for Gary I have learned so much and can truly vouch for his expertise in Criminal Law.

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.
