In august of 2010 I was arrested, for not one, but two, 2nd degree felonies. The offence(s) were commited while I was intoxicated. I spent several days in jail before being bailed out. This was the first time I had been arrested, and was scared to say the least. Mr. Peugh came and spoke with me while... in jail, and his confidence and knowledge, was reassuring to me. I took any and all advise Mr. Peugh gave me, and throughout the next year, worked closely with him to get favorable results in court. I would sometimes call him two or three times a week, with questions or concerns, and while Im sure he had many other clients and cases to work on, he always took the time to explain things to me, which was invaluable as I was clueless on the legal process, and in agony waiting to see what would happen to me. Mr. Peugh always took an optimistic but realistic approach to everything. His knowledge of the legal system in unparalleled! To make a long story short, one long year and five trips to court later, Mr. Peugh got me 5 years deferred adjudication..a blessing, considering I could have served 20 years for each of my 2 counts! Mr. Peugh is a great attorney, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

Unfortunately, I found myself needing a lawyer. My son was being accused of something he did not do. The police arrested my son. The case was going to go to the DA so they can start prosecuting. We made bond and started to look for a lawyer to defend my son. I found Daniel Peugh through the internet.... I went to AVVO and started to look at the reviews of the lawyers available in the area. I had found a couple of lawyer that seemed to be ok. I made appointments with both of them. On the day of the appointments I found that one of the lawyers was not going to be there and I will be interviewing with one of the associates. I did not like that and decided to cancel that appointment. The other lawyer was Daniel Peugh. It is well known that no lawyer is 100% successful But Daniel has a very high success rate. He handled the interview personally. He was courteous and to the point. Once we explained the situation and showed him the affidavits that we had collected, he told us what to expect. He never promised us that he will fix the problem. He explained what he could do and the experience that he had with similar cases. He explained the possible scenarios from dropping the case to being convicted of the offense. He started to work on the case immediately. He notified us of any development on a regular basis. He was able to prove to the DA that there was no case. The DA decided not to prosecute. Now, he is working on an expunction. We are very satisfied with the work he has done for us. I will highly recommend him to anyone looking at felony charges. I hope that in the future we do not need the services of a lawyer but if we do we will use Daniel again.

Save your money and if possible stick with a court appointed attorney because this attorney only cares about payment and has one foot out the door once he receives a down payment and a signed contract. My case was a 2nd DWI. I refused to blow and refused blood. The only proof were the field tests th...at were video taped. When I went to visit him the first time, he seemed very competent and confident. He will win you over but he doesn't keep you updated in a timely manner. I was receiving letters from the courts or the DPS a whole week or two before he would call me to inform me what had taken place (and everyone knows the system generally takes their time sending paperwork out). We had agreed that I would be able to watch my arrest video when he received it he watched it alone and I never got to view and his response was it's bad and we're going to have to plea. That was almost 2 months after my arrest. Then I didn't hear from him for 3 months, until I had to personally go into his office ONE week before my court date to find out what was going on with my case and how we were going to proceed. He didn't even know that I had my final hearing court date until I informed him during my visit. The ADA had sent my attorney a preliminary plea bargain (who knows how long he had it) so we reviewed it. He tried hard to convince me to do 80 days jail time informing me that I would become a trustee and get 2 days for every 1 day served which would cut my time in half but what he failed to inform me was that becoming a trustee isn't guaranteed. The day of my trial he had one foot out the door because he knew I just wanted to settle the case that day. He talked with the ADA and they came up with figures for probation, jail time, and interlock device. I took that plea because I thought I was getting a bargain but when we went to finalize it in front of the judge the judge informed me that although the paperwork I signed said one thing due to the law I had to do 6 months longer on the interlock device. Obviously my attorney wasn't prepared and knowledgable about one of the portions of the law pertaining to 2nd DWI which we had discussed a couple of times so I got screwed and still ended up doing the max time for everything from probation to community service. I've been doing jail time now as part of my plea bargain and just found out that he even did my paperwork wrong. My paperwork says that I should be out on X day but he did the math wrong so now I'm not able to be released as time served for another 2 weeks. I paid this attorney over $2000 for absolutely nothing. Whatever you do don't hire this guy. He is seriously not worth it.
