"Pat McCann is one of Houston's true criminal defense legends. For nearly 20 years Pat has tirelessly worked to represent people charged with crimes or free those who were wrongly convicted. Unlike most criminal defense lawyers, Pat understands the system from BEGINNING to END. He has practiced at all levels of court, including the United States Supreme Court, and at all levels of crime, including death penalty capital murder cases. Anyone charged with (or serving a sentence for) a state or federal crime would be well-served to contact Pat McCann."

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.
