Very thorough and Professional

Daniel has handled an expunction case for me recently and as well as a felony case. He is very thorough and we got the best outcome possible on the case. He takes every client seriously and very attention to details. The communication with him and his Law Firm exceeded my expectations. I have never r...eceived such a level of communication with any other business and specifically a Law firm. Cara the Para Legal assistant rocks. I would recommend Daniel Peugh to anyone seeking Legal Counsel. He is simply the best.

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...l) just to INQUIRE about the processes and fees with regards to expungement in case i was early discharged not expecting to get anything done that day. After 20 minutes, i get a response from Cara. In the response, she explained about the process of clearing my record and she also mentioned that Mr. Peugh will reach out to DA for early discharge. I thought okay, maybe i will hear back in a few week. Then, within an hour of the last email communication, i got a call from my PTD officer. The officer told me over the phone my case is dismissed! what a pleasant surprise! This tells me number of positive things about the Peugh law firm. Responsive and Effective - One email and 90 minutes was all they needed for getting me early discharged from the program Experienced and Connected - With over 20 years of experiences and as a former Chief Prosecutor for the Denton County, he is well connected with the people who he has to deal with and he knows what he has to do to execute in a timely fashion. Another important thing i want to point out is that he`s fees are priced reasonably.

Thank 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!)

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...cause I was in good hands, I was able to get on probation. During my probation period, I was arrested on two separate occasions. Daniel did what he does (WIN) and I was reinstated and continued probation. A couple of months before I was due to expire and be released from community supervision my probation was to be revoked due to failure to report and a dirty hair follicle test. I was facing jail time. After admitting to Daniel of my drug dependency, he informed me that I could get help through probation. Again, Daniel worked his lawyer magic and the terms of my probation were modified. I only had to serve 5 days of jail, had a 6 month extension, and was able to receive intensive out patient treatment that changed my life. I got clean, found recovery, and successfully completed community supervision and was released from probation, dismissing any further charges.

It never happened

I was wrongfully accused back in 2014 and Mr. Puegh was able to work that case and I was never prosecuted. However, due to the law that case had to sit there for at least two years before it could be expunged. I reached out to Mr. Puegh again to handle that for me as he said he would back then. He qu...ickly accepted, reviewed the old case and started the process. Except for the wait to get on a docket, which he has no control over, he made the process quick and simple. Fill out a few forms, pay the retainer, go to court at set date and time, and poof!! He made it so painless and now my records are clear as if "IT NEVER HAPPENED!! Thanks again

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...d that she now has a felony record. When questioned, Mr. Peugh informed us that she will need to find a criminal defense attorney and pay extra to have her record expunged. He claims that he informed her of this. But, when I originally consulted him, he never mentioned that the $3500, court fees and community service would not give us the final goal. My daughter gave him the authority to share information with me but, apparently, he did not share this extra information. To add fuel to the fire, when I called to ask about this situation, his secretary told him, in a very offensive voice, "Now, it's the mother." I never write reviews, especially not bad ones. However, I feel like he took advantage of us during a very stressful time. I'm sure that legally he has every i dotted and every t crossed, but that doesn't make it right. I hope this never happens to anyone else.

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.
