Jeffrey Lewis Eaves

Jeff, Oscar and Anika are an absolutely fantastic team. After getting busted driving through Vernon, TX with some grass I was looking at a life altering jail sentence.. Jeff bailed me out of jail, got me in a rental back to the airport and even negotiated me recovering my belongings from my impounded... rental. Thanks to Jeff and his team of competent assistants I was able to have my situation reduced to probation in one of the toughest districts in Texas. There is no one I would recommend over Jeff Eaves to handle your case and to truly get piece of mind from investing in legal council. Thank you Jeff.

My case started several years ago and not knowing the process or the horror stories of the legal system I was very scared, I first went to Jeff Eaves after a couple of visits with other attorneys. My case was a burglary. I had no money due to a long-drawn-out divorce that was allowing my former spo...use to control all the books and money. I was desperate for some food and was too proud to ask. It was a stupid mistake and as the saying goes, “desperate people do desperate things”. I did and I was sorry for my mistake and admitted what had occurred. Jeff and Oscar were great in getting it resolved. I had another court case in small claims court, and I handled it myself where there was another accusation thrown at me. I was mad and upset and wrongfully blamed others. It was not the way as painted by my accuser. I was arrested and scared. Contacted an attorney who several of the inmates recommended while spending the night in jail. I paid the fee and listened to Mr. Payne’s sweet talk. Then 2 days prior to my probation ending a violation of probation was filed. I had a perfect record and never missed check in dates with both the bond and probation individuals. The Mr. Payne never presented me with offers from the Assistant DA while all the while telling me we can beat this. So, I waited until I had a hearing to violate my probation. I had pictures, a witness who passed and emails showing it was a vendetta because the accuser was a friend of my ex-wife and her boyfriend. Mr. Payne did not present a defense and I did not know that your standards of proof are not the same as they are when you are not on probation. I lost and my probation was violated. The Assistant DA was pushing for jail time of 2 years. I was very angry when I got a call from Mr. Payne and he said take it! You will not get a better offer. I hung up the phone. I was so angry and devastated that I reached back out to Jeff Eaves and what a God Send! He and Oscar got in and did some highly remarkable damage control. They salvaged a case and a person who felt like there was nothing to live for. I have 2 types of cancer and other medical issues as well as a great career and just thought I would be defined by this for the rest of my live by a conviction. They saved the day and never gave up on me nor my case. They have stood by my side and are still there as we resolve some minor issues. I have not let this ruin my life nor define me. Like Jeff says on his website “the prosecutor and law officials ARE NOT on your side.” I will make myself available to tell anyone of the need to hire no other than Jeff Eaves for any legal issue. He dug in and fought for me. He knows the law! He has been on both sides of the fence and knows exactly what needs to be done. Don’t just take my word for it but look at the other testimonials posted, and it paints a picture of a fighter and knowledgeable attorney! Thanks Jeff and Oscar!! Both my wife and are awed by Jeff’s work ethic and care and concern for his clients! Remember that the best defense is a great offense so build that defense by using Jeff Eaves. Jeff has my contact information, and I will always make myself available for a decision that could affect the rest of your life!! MF
