Will most likely do a good job on your case, but not very friendly.
Let me start by saying I only CONSULTED with Mr. Pierce-Jones and never hired him. When I first met with him the first thing he said was that I should be "soiling myself" because the state wants to lock me up for life (I was facing a first degree felony). Then later on in the meeting I asked him how ...

I would not recommend this lawyer to anyone. He does not want to help you. He used to be a prosecutor...and If you have this lawyer on your side he will be on the prosecutors side not yours. I had someone vandalizing my truck and I shot a warning shot at the ground....He got me 5 years probation and ...

Replied last October 19, 2016This man accepted a plea bargain rather than go to trial. When he pleaded guilty, he expressed satisfaction with the representation he received. As to defense counsel being "on the side of the prosecutor", this is untrue. The grand jury charged the defendant with two cases of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. In Texas, that charge carries up to 20 years in prison and up to a $10,000.00 fine. After some hard work an agreement was reached to plead to the less serious charge of deadly conduct, for 5 years deferred adjudication probation and a fine of $2,500.00 (rather than the $3,000.00 stated in the review). Deferred adjudication means if the defendant completes probation, he will not be found guilty of any crime at all out of this incident. And, both aggravated assault with a deadly weapon cases were dismissed. This was the result even after the court refused to suppress a statement given by the defendant after a contested and hard fought pre-trial hearing. Every case is different. Unfortunately, not every case ends in dismissal, and when a client chooses to plead guilty to a reduced charge rather than go to trial, the defense loses its leverage. Attorneys do not decide whether a client pleads. That choice is completely the client's to make. Sometimes it is a difficult choice, particularly when the choice to go to trial involves the risk of conviction of very serious charges.
