Knowledgeable, honest, straightforward

Fred Dahr's handling of my case gave me peace of mind and hope. He kept me updated and informed on what to expect. He was professional, yet compassionate and approachable. His pricing was fair. And, best of all, the charges were dismissed! Fantastic lawyer!

Highly Recommend

Fred Dahl was a pleasure to work with. He got my criminal trespassing charge DISMISSED and EXPUNGED. He was very knowledgeable and I felt he genuinely cared about getting me the best possible results. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and was always available to answer any concern ...or question I had. I highly recommend him.

Non-Disclosure, a total Godsend!!

Mr. Dahr represented me in a Petition for Non-Disclosure (for a very serious offense). He answered every email/phone call, gave clear instructions; and was very reassuring throughout the entire process. He is well versed in the law, has a solid reputation - and had my Petition GRANTED almost 3 weeks ...from the date I hired him. He is not only knowledgeable, but is a true Godsend to myself and my family.

"Fred Dahr is a fantastic attorney and is one of Houston's best trial lawyers. I first met Fred when I was an ADA in Harris County and was immediately impressed with his strong work ethic, creative motions practice and willingness to goto trial on (and win) tough cases. He is dedicated to his clients and is respected by prosecutors and defense attorneys. Bottom line - hire Fred!"

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
