Excellent attorney-highly recommend

Hired Mr Peugh for a juvenile matter. Case was resolved successfully and in a very timely manner. He and his entire staff were professional, patient, compassionate and highly skilled. Very, very pleased.

Best lawyer in Denton county

Hands down the best lawyer in Denton. !! God sent !!! Cara is the most amazing understanding person ever , Dan is so professional and works hard non stop to get his clients justice !! This is the best lawyer you can find in Texas. Dan got our case dismissed , he worked endless hours , never missed on...e phone call and always up to date on case ! There is not a single time I called ( I called a lot) that Dan or cara was not Available to answer my questions. From the first call I felt comfort in him representing my husband in this case. Dan thank you so much. I’m all the way from NYC and when I say the best !!! This team is amazing

Thank 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.

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.

Brilliant Attorney

Mr. Peugh has done an outstanding job on the case he was hired for. Not only did he exceed expectations, but he was extremely quick about achieving the best results. He is extremely knowledgeable in the areas of his practice. What separates Mr. Peugh from other attorneys is that he is very detail ori...ented and analyzes the case from many different angles. He works on the case with sincerity and a sense of urgency. Once hired, he guides his client through the entire process while working diligently on the case. He always aims for the best solution for his client and is able to successfully achieve positive results! His assistant, Cara, keeps the client well informed and is very professional and approachable. They make a great team! I would highly recommend the Peugh Law Firm to anyone looking to hire a criminal attorney.

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.
