Thank you, Mr Brandon Luce
First I give glory to God for deliverance. Second I would love to thank Mr. Brandon Luce for taking my daughters case. Mr Luce was very reasonable in his price, and efficient in representing my daughter. She had four charges against her, one was a serious drug charge. Mr Luce somehow got all the charges dropped. I would recommend him to everyone. Thank You again Mr Luce. Sincerely Janet Kennedy 5-1-2023

Multiple Sexual assault charges Closed
Great lawyer from the very beginning. Brandon was very up front about everything which helps the process for sure. I absolutely recommend this law firm to anyone and everyone. Expect to have ur expectations blown away. 10 star lawyer but Avvo only has 5 star ratings. It was money well spent and he works with u if u pay cash also. Very heavy burden lifted and he made this happen before I was even indicted!

Great Lawyer!
Brandon worked hard to get me probation when I could have had 35 years. So happy with the outcome and with Brandon's service.

You are awesome
I contacted him as I was looking to hire an attorney for my legal issue. From the moment I picked up the phone, I felt that professionalism, attentiveness, and the most important part, I did not feel like another number in a system. I am a human being. I was given instructions on how to obtain the documents that I needed, and that my standing is on the correct side of the legal fence. I tried to give money for the time and even to get the documents that I needed. That offer was refused. I was told exactly what to do and the cost for obtaining documents on my own was insignificant (cost me under 10 dollars for everything and then some). That told me that he is not out to take your money, he is out here making a difference in people's lives. If I were to ever have any legal issue in my life that arises again, I know exactly who I will be running to.

Best Criminal Defense Attorney in Waco. Period
2 months ago I was charged w a misdemeanor assault causing bodily injury while on parole. I had 2 previous assault convictions 1 being a felony I had just been released from prison for in July of 2022. I consulted w every defense attorney I could get ahold of in Waco and had given up hope with the answers I was getting, prison seemed inevitable given my history . I talked to Brandon late September of 2022 and gave him the run down of what I was facing and within 24 hrs of hiring him he was working on my case. 1 week ago today while in county jail on a new charge and parole hold Brandon called me and let me know the charges had been dropped!!! This guy is unbelievable, I’ve unfortunately had to deal with other attorneys and never have I hired someone who was as punctual and on the ball like Brandon Luce. He gets the job done and I am 100% certain I would still be sitting in a jail cell if it were not for him. Words cannot describe how amazing this guys work is. Look no further when hiring a criminal defense attorney. Thank You Brandon.

Brandon should write a book that every attorney could learn from!
Brandon Luce is hands down the best attorney I’ve ever met! I’ve known many many attorneys and he is here to get the job done. Great guy, great personality and he actually is here for his clients, it’s hard to find an attorney that actually gets what their client wants! I was stressed about my case as I do not have a criminal record and chose Brandon after hours and hours or Mcleanan county attorneys. Brandon got my case DISMISSED! I’ve seen many attorneys drag out cases and keep their clients hangin but Brandon told me what he could do and what I had to do, and he got it done before I had to travel an hour away!! This guy is hands down the best attorney I’ve seen. He has a strong future ahead of him and I highly recommend him!! Thank you Brandon!!

Hands Down Best Attorney in Central Tx
Priced a little less than others in the area, but still delivered a level of professionalism equal to or better than the others in the area. Always prompt and quick to reply to my emails or notify me of any status updates. Completely restored my faith in lawyers who actually put forth real effort and truly represent their clients.

He's the best.
Very professional, even though I was a felon he got me many different options and I have used him twice already, hopefully the last time. But I would recommend him to my mother if need be.

Helpful
Brandon knew right off the bat that I was young and had no clue how to go about any sort of court case. He explained every thing in detail to me and made sure I had a clear understanding. Anytime I had a question or concern or even anxiety I could call and get the question or concern ironed out. Worked quickly and efficiently and was a huge help to me! Also he did a really good job at calling me to check to see if I had questions and to make sure I was on top of my paperwork.

small case, big attorney... excellent knowledge and service, truly cares for his clients
Faced with a misdemeanor that put my reputation and my career potential at stake, a life-long Waco civil attorney referred me to Mr. Luce (who handles both criminal and personal injury matters) over other, more senior Waco attorneys. After hiring Mr. Luce, it quickly became easy to see why. Mr. Luce handles more serious cases than mine, but he handled my case with a sense of urgency and determination. His experience and success on both sides of the courtroom gives him an insight into the complexities of each step of the criminal process from start to finish. He is honest and transparent at all times, and he is a thorough communicator. I could tell that he cared about me as a person, and that he genuinely cares about justice. My charge was dropped completely. I can't recommend his service enough.

Car Wreck Resolution
Brandon and Derrel are incredible attorneys who handled my family's personal injury case with care and attention to detail. They treated us like family, and made sure to hold the other party accountable for what they did. They were able to settle the case without suit, which was what we hoped for, and our family is forever grateful for the hard work they put into resolving our case and getting us a better resolution than we could have imagined. Thank you again.

Criminal Defense
I felt like my world was turned upside down in a matter of seconds when my child (a student) was accused of a crime, facing a SJF. In our quest to retain legal counsel as quickly as possible, we contacted the Luce Law Firm and met with Mr. Brandon Luce. We, as a family, believed in my child’s innocence from the very beginning. The Luce Law Firm made this heart-breaking experience much easier to bare. All services provided by Mr. Luce were outstanding. Mr. Luce was attentive, respectful, professional and displayed a genuine concern for wanting to guide my child through this unimaginable ordeal. When we felt my child’s future was dismal, the Luce Law Firm helped us to see otherwise. We highly recommend the Luce Law Firm to anyone without hesitation. Choosing the Luce Law Firm during this time was the best decision we could have made. “Thank You” just doesn’t seem to be enough and the disposition was “No Billed”!

Don't go it alone
We were faced with a very unjust charge in the court system but also new that if we lacked representation it could result in lasting consequences. Brandon Luce took our case, and his knowledge of the law, professional expertise, and understanding of McLennan County were pivotal in the case ending in the most favorable outcome possible. The Luce Law Firm is professional, empathetic, and demonstrate a degree of competency that will allow you to sleep knowing that you have professional representation in the court system. If you have need for an attorney, look no further. You will not find better representation anywhere.
