I was pulled over for a routine speeding ticket. The police officer claimed I ran over his foot. I was arrested and put in jail for aggravated assault on a police officer. I spent over 24+ hours in jail. I have never been so scared or humiliated in my life. My sister in Georgia, did all the leg-...work to help me find a preeminent attorney. WE both decided there was no price too high for freedom. After my interview, I knew Dan was the one, even though I still had one more interview to go. During my hearings, it was unbelievably reassuring the reception Mr. Cogdell gets when entering the court room. I knew I was in good hands.

From the beginning of our situation, Dan always provided us a sense of comfort and confidence, knowing that he had the knowledge needed to process through. Although we thought, from the beginning that we could fight the charges and leave the situation without any jail time, that did not happen. Alt...hough, it was disappointing that we had to accept the plea deal, it was with confidence and understanding that we made the right decision. Dan provided enough detail to feel comfortable, without too much legal information that would have confused the situation. He was always responsive when needed.

I was in jail with no bond over a weekend and had to appear in Court on Monday morning. My wife left a message for Mr. Cogdell on Sunday afternoon. He returned her call right away. He had his associate (because Dan was out of town) meet my wife in Court Monday morning and had me out on bond. Be...cause of my past numerous felonies and prison sentences, my current indictment of aggravated theft carried a sentence of 25 yrs. to life. I suffered some health issues during this time period including 2 strokes. Dan's concern and compassion for me was sincere. He convinced the Judge to postpone sentencing while I completed medical tests and numerous doctor appointments. He was also able to convince the Judge to allow out of the county travel to help take care of my disabled parents who live out of town. Due to Dan's knowledge of the law and legal system, I received 10 years deferred adjudication probation which was a big win for me. Dan Cogdell definitely lives up to his firm's motto of "When Results Matter Most"

Dan and his colleage Cordt Akers got my DWI case in Houston dismissed after it was pending for 5 years. Throughout the process, Dan was responsive, creative and devoted to getting me the best result, taking into account my specific needs and schedule. He always took a fresh look at our options and c...ame up with a winning idea at the end.

Dan let me know exactly how the process was going to go. He's extremely knowledgeable and straight forward. He was able to get everything dismissed! There were no hidden fees. His office staff was always helpful and pleasant. More than anything, Dan doesn't bs with clients and he knows what he's doi...ng.
