Understanding and tenacious - the best combination for a lawyer!

Mr Ross and his administrative assistant, Ms Gomez, are an incredible legal team. When our college son ended up in an unfortunate situation requiring legal help, I was so fortunate to call Ross Law Offices first. Hearing the worry in my voice as I explained our son's circumstances, the first thing ...Ms Gomez told me was that Mr Ross was a good person; a good lawyer. In that moment, I felt I could trust them with our son's future; after our first meeting with Mr Ross, I *knew* I could! Tony Ross truly cares about people and is empathetic to individual needs. He handled our son's case completely. (I kept worrying a little about *not* doing anything to help!) As Mr Ross had initially quite carefully explained he believed could be the best possible scenario, our son's case was dismissed, clearing college and life records for our really grateful son, my husband and me. Thanks so very much to this tenacious, caring lawyer and his supportive administrative assistant for their time and care, which we will pass forward!

Felony/Misdemeanor

My son was found and charged with possession of drugs marijuana, both cannibus (misdemeanor) and eatable (felony). John worked with the DA in accepting him into first offenders program. This is great news as both charges can and will be dismissed upon my sons successful completion of the first offend...ers program. Following this program John will also assist us in have both expunged from his record. Since my son is 18 and just starting his college career John's work in getting us on the path to expungement is a huge relief as now this error in judgment will not prohibit my son from getting any job/career he desires. Not to mention, John was able to work with us and the courts to make this happen while my son is away at university. In short, John made an incredibly stressful time a little less stressful. He walk us through each step of the way and he and his staff were always available to answer my questions - and there were a lot of them! Thank you John and team!

Thank you for the sincere words. When we're able to help honestly great people, who may have just made a mistake (like we all do), that's one of the best parts of the job. You and your family were all a pleasure to work with. I hope you are all doing well!

Really Honest Lawyer Highly Recommended

I had another lawyer ( Tim power) before Mr. Ross, which gave me a good deal and told me your good and ok, after I finish payments and at court I see a different lawyer which knew nothing about my case and told me you are in a lot of trouble ... that day I went and googled the best lawyers and found... Mr. Ross went and Consulted him, gave me a good deal and on the court day he even got me a much better better deal. Thank you so much Mr. Ross. He also has a really nice, staff they are so professional and helpful .... specially Karen. Thank you so much all of you!

Posted by Mark | April 29, 2015 | DUI & DWI

Best Criminal Defense Attorney In Denton County

When I was arrested for 2nd DWI shortly after moving to Denton County (February. 2013), I did not know what I was going to do to defend myself and did not know any lawyers. After looking at reviews, I came across the Ross Law Office, found Tony’s name, and gave him a call. Tony agreed to meet wit...h me right away, and upon our first meeting I knew Tony and his staff were the right team for me. Tony met me personally and clearly explained the next steps and put my mind at ease. Immediately, he had a plan to take on my case and laid out steps for me to take (i.e. M.A.D.D, driver education, etc.) Tony was very up front about the costs of his services, flexible with payments, and there were never any surprises or unexpected costs added on for his expertise. Tony and his team maintained consistent contact with me throughout the process and the pre-trial court appearances. His staff was very knowledgeable about the proceedings and helped me every step of the way. I felt at ease with the professional manner of the team, and Tony's personable style kept me calm and confident about the outcome of my case. Tony's extensive knowledge of the law and DWI police protocol ultimately resulted in the DWI charge dismissed. After 27 months of unsupervised probation and county monitoring fees, my case is behind me. Long story short, call the Ross Law Office - you will thank yourself.

Terrible Service

My wife and I hired John Ross to help us navigate the Denton court system. We did our research on the internet and based on reviews given here at AVVO we felt confident John would be able to provided competent legal representation. During the initial consultation John said all the right things and... promised us he would fight on our behalf. However, what we received was an apathetic attorney who exerted very little effort towards our case. Additionally, after paying his retainer we had a difficult time contacting John to discuss the progress on our case. In fact, most of our communication was through his secretary Priscilla. By the end of this case we were very irritated by John's lack of familiarity with our case and all the excuses and back tracking he did throughout this process. In the future we will never trust John to handle any legal matters.

I apologize that you experienced this, as I do not recall anyone from Little Elm ever complaining to me about our service. We strive to provide the most complete and honest communication with all of our clients, and if you did not receive that, I do apologize. Since I do not know who this is, I'm hoping you will contact me so we can discuss where things went wrong, in your opinion. I'd like to give you a chance to express your complaints and see if there is something I can do. Thank you.
