Great lawyer
Dan and Cara were great. They were great at responding to all my questions almost immediately I was never left in the dark at any point. Dan was able to get my charges reduced and got me the best possible outcome. I would recommend him to anyone dealing with a dwi or drug charge. Dan kept me informed...
Thank you for the glowing review. We love hearing that we were good with communication. A lack of communication is a common complaint about attorneys and it should not be. We also pride ourselves on getting out of the ordinary good results but, we can't guarantee that for every case.

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...

Peace of mind cannot be underestimated
Due to the circumstances under which I was arrested for possession of Marijuana, I did not have a strong case for trial. Mr. Peugh and his firm helped negotiate a Pre-Trial Diversion option for me that resulted in the best possible outcome given the circumstances. Getting arrested is stressful, but h...

Best outcome possible
My case started off as a state felony charge (organized retail theft). Within a week, he got the charge reduced to a Class A Mist. He got me on the Pre-Trial Diversion program, if successfully completed- expungement is possible. However, due to a failed drug test I was kicked out of the program. Be...

Very Disappointed
My daughter was accused of drug possession but the drugs were not hers. Unfortunately, she was with the person who had the drugs. Mr. Peugh charged us $3500 and said that he could have her record expunged. She worked hard to pay off the extra court fees and fines and did community service only to fin...
No one likes getting bad reviews but, I think some good can come out of this one. I feel bad for the lady who wrote this. She is stuck in a problem that comes up with legal representation from time to time. My adult client needed an attorney but, she could not afford to pay for one on her own. She turned to her mother for financial help in hiring me. Mom, being concerned, wanted to pay for the attorney and felt entitled to know everything about everything after that. I am bound by the Attorney-Client Privilege to communicate honestly with my clients and only my clients. I protect my clients’ Attorney-Client Privilege. No exceptions. Therefore, I cannot tell mom everything she wants to know and still be zealously protecting my client’s interests. My client however, can always tell her mother what she wants to know. My client is also free not to tell her mother everything. It became apparent in the course of this representation that mom was not getting accurate information. I cannot and will not compromise the Attorney-Client Privilege to clear that up, not even to defend myself or my actions. You have read the results. Mom is unhappy because she believes a number of things about her daughter’s case that are not true. For potential clients reading this, I would point out the positives. First, this anonymous review was left by an involved parent - not my client. Second, the review correctly points out that my client is eligible for an expunction. She is eligible for an expunction because I worked out a disposition for her case that ultimately got the case dismissed. In addition, the review complains of a lack of communication to a non-client. Please, read below and you will find that Cara and I both get rave reviews for our communication with clients. I would like to clear up one last thing. I do expunctions and every kind of record clearing. I love doing it and I am good at it. I am blessed to have five-star reviews below for my record clearing services. The mom in this case called up attacking my office based on bad information she had received. Not wanting to again be put between her and her daughter, I referred her to other attorneys to help obtain the expunction.

Motion to Suppress granted, case dismissed. The initial detention of my client was illegal. All evidence collected after the detention was suppressed. That left no evidence to use against my client.
A felony charge was declined for prosecution.
