The Absolute Best Criminal Defense Attorney

I would highly recommend Mr. Danny Easterling, Attorney-At-Law. He is a consummate professional, very personable and was stellar in representing me in my case. Mr. Easterling was always communicative, was very responsive and was always open and honest with me from start to finish. His experience and ...knowledge of criminal law matters was exemplary. Mr. Easterling secured a dismissal in my case and I could not be more pleased with the services that he provided me and would suggest to anyone in need of the best criminal defense attorney in the nation, look no further than Mr. Danny Easterling.

Fantastic Lawyer

Danny has been my attorney since I was sixteen years old and has over the years handled many different cases on my behalf ranging from small to large and has always given me the best council and direction. He is honest and he puts in the work that it takes to be a great attorney and couldnt be any ha...ppier or have asked him to do anymore then he has everytime he represented me and I am forty five years old now if that helps put it in perspective. In my opinion He is the best Attorney in Houston

"I endorse Danny. He taught me in Texas Trial Lawyers College in Huntsville, Texas. Danny gave me insight into how to be more effective in trying criminal defense cases. At the time I didn't appreciate his comments but after practicing law several years "under fire" from the DA and Judges I really appreciate Danny's candor. He is a great lawyer, great leader, and I respect him very much both as an attorney and a person. Top notch in every sense of the words. Lucky to have good lawyer like Danny in Houston area."
