Got the job done!
Mr. Puegh was very effective, on my Dwi (felony) charge. He is very upfront and communicative. His assistant was extremely helpful. I was fortunate to get everything i asked for (except the three days in jail). I definitely learned my lesson. Thanks for saving my life, career and time spent with kids...

Replied last October 08, 2021We are very glad that you are happy with our services. Sorry about the jail time as a condition of probation. It is required by law. At least it was only a weekend.

Good service
Mr. Peugh got me a reduced sentence from a felony to a misdemeanor which helped out my situation greatly. Very thankful for his services, understanding, and responsiveness to my many questions and needs.

Replied last October 08, 2021Glad you are pleased. I do think we get more than our fair share of reductions. I began my career with the Denton County DA's Office so, I know what they can do, what they can't do and what they say they can't do but they the really can do it if you go at it the right way. That being said I cannot guarantee any reductions. I can guarantee that, if your case can be reduced, I know how to do it.

Replied last October 08, 2021Thank you so much for the kind words. It doesn't get any better than dismissal. Not every case can be dismissed but, if we have one than could be, we find a way.

You've found your guy!
I recently had a situation come up where I need representation to help for a non violent marijuana related case, and it was not a small amount of help that I needed. I contacted over ten lawyers in the Dallas/Denton area and cannot recommended Daniel and his team enough! They are a small firm so they...

Fantastic Law Firm
I was placed on PTD program. I completed about 60% of the given time period then my officer told me at the meeting I can apply for the early discharge of the program. I was skeptical about getting it approved through the DA when i was only about halfway done with the program. I email Cara(paralega...
Daniel Peugh
Replied last October 08, 2021Thank you for the recognition, Shawn. You did the hard work of knocking your Diversion Program requirements out of the park. I was happy to send a couple of emails to get you released early. Denton County would have hammered you had you violated the program so, it is only right to reward you when you execute your duties flawlessly. ( I might have been angling for the record clearing work. I like to help!)
