The Miracle Worker

Brett was the lawyer for someone close to me. The DA wanted to give them 10 YEARS in prison. This guy got the case DISMISSED. I’m still reeling in shock! Brett is wonderful!

DIFFICULT DWI DEFENSE

Brett was hired for more than one DWI offense. In fact he was in negotiations on one when another occurred. It was difficult already because there had been previous offenses in the past. He fought for our family member and helped him get the best outcome possible. We are very greatful.

He makes it happen!! Got it dismissed.

I came into his office with little to nothing of confidence after catching a POM in a drug free zone with 3 felony under my belt.. He adviced me to trust him that he would do nothing less than fight for me and that I was in good hands he said my case could last up to a year in order for me to get my... case possibly dismissed with no probation, no suspension of my Drivers Liscence which was my only wish. After a couple court dates Podolsky and his TEAM worked hard and diligently to come to a resolution. He always answered my question and gave me hope through this stressful process. He contacted me with great news about how he was working out a deal to get me approved for the clean and green program which after completion would result on my case being dismissed.. Podolsky himself said to me “Would you say I’m a MIRACLE WORKER for getting your case dismissed “ I definitely recommend Brett and his awesome team because he is hands down the BEST Criminal lawyer in Houston!

Sexual Assult

"I hired Brett Podolsky to represent my son who was charged with raping a woman in a public park. My family met with several lawyers and decided to put our faith in Brett Podolsky. Some of the attorneys we met with were only concerned about how much we could pay and others seemed to not have the sk...ill or desire to tackle such a serious allegation. Needless to say we were very skeptical of lawyers and had never had to hire one for a criminal charge. My son is a college student who met a girl online (another student) and after talking online agreed to go on a date. They ended up having sex and she immediately accused him of a violent sexual assault. They had DNA and he was charged with felony sexual assault. He was looking at 20 years and having to register as a sex offender for life. Obviously, we were worried that my son's life was over before it really began. Mr. Podolsky worked for months investigating the case, gathering records, going to court month after month. He put a case together for the grand jury to convince them not to indict our son. Most lawyers told us that the grand jury indicted everything and it was a foregone conclusion. Not Mr. Podolsky, he had a binder of evidence, statements, emails, text messages, photos, school records and community character references etc. for the grand jury. After what seemed like weeks of deliberation, the Grand Jury decided not to indict my son and the case was dismissed! We owe Brett Podolsky a debt of gratitude we can never repay."

An attorney you can trust 100%

I would like to post a this review to explain my experience having attorney Brett Podolsky defend me against a false accusation made by an ex-girlfriend. This resulted in felony charges for supposedly attacking and choking my GF at the time. According to the police she was beaten and choked unt...il she thought she was going to die. They had statements and photos. I was innocent of these charges and at the time I was arrested, I was a cadet at the DPS Police Academy. I was arrested in Austin, Texas where I stayed in jail for weeks before I was extradited back to Houston where the case was filed. I worked very hard to get accepted to the DPS Academy and was devastated and humiliated when I was arrested in front of other cadets. My family and I met with several lawyers and decided on Mr. Podolsky as he seemed to be best able to fight the case for me. It was the best choice we ever made. It took almost a year with the DA trying to send me to prison and then probation and then they offered to reduce the case to a misdemeanor. Every time they came at us with an unacceptable offer, Brett had the evidence and documents and arguments to shoot it down. He believed in my innocence and never once did he try to pressure me to "plea out" or take a deal. I watched in court as things sometime got heated with the DAs but he never budged. Finally the DA agreed to dismiss the case. I was in court with family and we almost broke down in the middle of the courtroom. I cannot thank him enough and would tell anyone who needed a serious lawyer for a serious case to hire him. -- Brett A. Podolsky Attorney at Law
