Jeff

From the time I hired Jeff, he was always on top of things. I made one phone call and was in his office not even an hour later with the full consult. Any questions I had, he was honest and thorough throughout this whole process! He was quick to update me on any changes. He always made me feel confide...nt in my case. Things came out in our favor and couldn’t be more happier with the outcome! If I ever needed legal help, he would definitely be my go to! Thank you again Jeff!

Life Saving Decision

The law firm you need to hire with no question. They take you in from the start and fight till the end. Eaves law firm came highly recommended back in 2018 but I didn’t listen I hired another lawyer which turned out to be a terrible decision. In 2022 I had a motion to revoke my felony probation and ...once again my Houston lawyer said get the Eaves law firm on hire so I did. I was nervous for a number of reasons. Still I always felt like I was in good hands anytime I had a concern if it was Oscar or Jeff they had an answer for me. I had court for the motion 2 weeks ago and the outcome was amazing the motions were dismissed and dropped. Was also able to work out a deal on my remaining community service hrs. If you want a great law firm I highly suggest and encourage you to retain Mr. Eaves.

Saved my life - highly, highly recommend Jeff and his team!

I hired Jeff at the lowest part of my life. I was wrongfully accused of third degree felony injury to a child by my husband’s ex wife who was attempting to gain leverage in a custody battle. I had, to this point, never had any run ins with law enforcement and was always a respectful, productive membe...r of the Wichita Falls community. After review of evidence, Jeff told me he knew I was innocent. There was no evidence. He fought for me harder than I ever expected. Jeff and Oscar were always a calming presence in an extremely stressful situation and, for that, I will forever be grateful. Ultimately, the battle went on for nearly five years; February of 2017 until December of 2022. After roughly 12 pre-trial hearings (some extremely last minute with notifications being sent over holiday weekends) and being jerked around by the district attorneys office, being arrested (Jeff also acted as my bondsman which gave me even greater peace of mind) after arranging a book in/book out with the police department, and very obvious interference being ignored - it’s over. The result wasn’t the best case scenario with the charges being dropped entirely, yet Jeff secured my freedom with no jail time other than the two days I served 5 years ago, no fines, and ultimately we settled at a class A misdemeanor (extenuating circumstances made fighting the charges altogether in trial extremely risky) that likely won’t have much impact on my life as a whole going forward. The final hearing was also completed over zoom being I no longer live in the state of Texas and I was financially unable to get there. If you ever find your self in need of a criminal attorney in Wichita Falls, Jeff is the way to go. I would hire him a million times over. He’s worth every penny. I owe him my freedom and I’ll never be able to repay Jeff’s team for what they did for me!

Good ending to a long ordeal

Due to Covid and the court system shutting down, I thought my case would never come to an end. After two years from start to finish, I can say that Jeff Eaves and his staff helped tremendously to navigate a very difficult situation in my life. I appreciate his attentiveness and communication al...l along the way. Jeff gave me options at various stages in my case and truly worked with me to determine the best line of defense in getting my charge eventually reduced and discharged through deferred adjudication. He is very professional and hard working. I'm grateful to have had him in my corner and would recommend Jeff and his office to others facing any kind of legal issues.
