Dan gave me a fresh start on life!

I was charged with interference of 911 call class A as well as charged with Assault of a family member class A. Dan was able to get both charges dismissed and expunged off my record. Until, Dan Cogdell, I didn't think Lawyers actual care about their clients but I was dead wrong. Dan treated me with r...espect, believed in my innocence and made sure I would never have to worry about this again.I can not thank him enough for believing in me and giving me my life back!

Dan Cogdell will stand up for and next to you.

We were referred to Dan Cogdell regarding a criminal defense case by a well-known Houston attorney. After we initially met Dan, we knew he could be entrusted to defend our family member. Our decision was not just based on the fact that he was a power-house attorney, but more importantly to us, that h...e truly cared. Over the course of 3 years, Dan shared all updates and answered all questions personally; most of the time within only 1 hour. Dan was/is consistently professional, informative and 100% honest. Dan Cogdell is the only attorney we would ever recommend; period.

BEST Defense Attorney

Dan Cogdell made me feel from the first day he took my case that it would all work out fine. His knowledge of the legal system and responsiveness to my case took away any anxiety that I had. I would not hesitate to hire him again if needed and would recommend him to anyone wanting an attorney that wi...ll " go to bat" for you. No wonder he is so highly regarded in the legal community.

Did not follow up

Hired Dan Cogdell, but he did not follow through on agreement. Still owes me refund. Would not recommend him. He does not defend his clients. Then he made no attempt to have my innocent assets returned to me under 21 USC Section 853(a). I lost over $181,000, a terrible lost for me that should ha...ve been avoided.

Not a good attorney

He did not go over my case with me. Usually spend 5 minutes or so with me every 3 months. Awful experience. In the end, he did not defend me. He agreed to plea me out for $50K or go to trial for $93K I paid him. Because he wouldn't defend me, I pled out. I asked for the $43K he owed back to me ...per written agreement. He refused, but did return $20K if I agreed not to sue him for the bad job he did. He still owes me $23K. Would not recommend me.
