My Criminal Charges - Fred Dahr had them dismissed!

I was arrested, put in jail, and charged with Criminal Trespassing. Scared and worried about my criminal record, I used Avvo to search for Houston's best attorneys to help me out of this mess. Meeting with two of the most highly rated attorneys on Avvo, I was still not comfortable with hiring them (n...ot saying they were bad, I just felt like they weren't putting my interests before thiers) ...so I kept searching for a trustworthy and experienced attorney. Keep in mind that I HAD to clear my record. I'm a Junior in college and will be relying on having a clean record for future employment. I gave Fred Dahr a call one afternoon. I hired him that night with full confidence. Fred Dahr had my case dismissed so I'm glad I chose to hire him instead!! He knows what he is doing...he has a very caring and diligent work ethic that will get you the best possible outcome for your case. Thank you again Fred -Justin

A criminal attorney that I could trust

In 2013-14 , I hired Fred's services for a criminal case filed against me. The circumstances of the case were against me and the DA seemed pretty tough. This case , if decided against me, had the potential to ruin my career. I knew I was innocent and to prove it in the legal quagmire, I needed some...one who had the skills,knowledge and past case successes. I chose Fred after interviewing many attorneys. Fred created a strong strategy and evaluated all my options. He fought for the best option possible (which in my case was dismissal by the judge). I had seen his name published in the Super Lawyers rising stars but I only believed in his excellent counsel after dealing with him on my case. I would very strongly recommend him.

100% recommended - got me off the hook when falsely accused

Fred got me out of a ridiculous felony charge. He helped me and my family stay cool despite the immense pressure and emotions that come with being put in such a difficult situation. In addition to knowing the law and what to present to the grand jury, Fred is a good negotiator and managed the prose...cutors, ultimately getting them to realize I was innocent and the case was nonsense. My case was totally dismissed and I have been able to put this nightmare behind me. Also, the case dragged out far longer than expected and I did not get asked for extra fees. I would not hesitate to recommend Fred.

Highly recommend!

Mr. Dahr is an excellent attorney, very knowledgeable, very responsive. He takes all cases very seriously, works closely with all parties involved and the DA to resolve a case with the best possible outcome. Highly recommend him to anyone who ever needs a defense attorney.

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.
