Daughter's Drug Case

Posted by MichelleThu Apr 18 2019

I was very relieved to have Brandon Luce represent our daughter in a drug matter. He was very clear on all her possible outcomes and was patient when explaining the process to us. We live out of state and Brandon was immediately responsive through calls and text. The result was better than we hoped for. We recommend any parent facing a similar situation should retain his services.

Brandon is a highly skilled attorney that always fights on behalf of his clients. I've known Brandon for over a decade. He is smart and always prepared on his cases. Juries love him. He is great at evaluating cases and spotting issues. I recommend this attorney with no reservations. Someone charged with a crime would be very lucky to have him represent them.

I have tried cases with Mr. Luce on a number of occasions. His ability to articulate an argument makes him a very effective criminal defense attorney.

Susan Kelly, Criminal defense Attorney on May 23, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. I worked as opposing counsel to Mr. Luce while he was a prosecutor with the McLennan County District Attorney's office. I found him to employ honesty, diligence, and good old-fashioned common sense, in the handling of his caseload. He, no doubt, will employ the same habits now that he is in private practice. --whether it is in criminal defense or civil practice.
