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...!!

We 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.

Great Lawyer

Mr. Peugh was great! He was very patient with explaining everything about my case to me and easily accessible if I had any questions, so I never had a moment of uncertainty. Mr. Peugh worked quickly to ensure that I received the most favorable outcome possible and was very reassuring throughout the p...rocess.

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.

Excellent Lawler

Hired Daniel to represent me for the third time, as in the previous 2 occasions I was 100% pleased with how awesome he and Cara are. Cara was very prompt in answering all my questions and concerns and I had total confidence with Daniel by my side in the court room.

Highly recommend for Denton criminal defense

In my first meeting with Mr. Peugh, I asked why he felt he was the best value (not the cheapest.). He never offered a potential outcome for my cases, but explained his experience in these matters and how he worked. I interviewed one of the most recognized attorneys in the county and one recommended ...to me by a friend that happened to be a judge. There was no choice in my mind, Mr Peugh was clearly the best choice. I was facing two felonies (first time offender for anything) with a potential of 20 years on one of them. i followed his advice and trusted in him completely. He instructed me to do several things to show my remorse for my actions and my willingness to change before the charges were brought to the prosecutor. I'll admit, some of that was a little painful, but I trusted his opinion. The result was that both charges were dismissed completely! The DA's letter to the judge cited my work on repairing myself (directed by Mr. Peugh) weighed heavily on the decision to dismiss. And, I learned a lot about myself in the process. I would without a doubt recommend Mr. Peugh to anyone facing criminal charges in Denton Co.
