Excellent!!

Seth Topek is an absolutely incredible parole attorney! I hired Seth to represent a close friend of mine who was serving a 5+ year sentence for an aggravated offense that received significant negative media coverage and public scrutiny. Seth worked closely with me, my friend, and my friend’s family o...ver the course of many months to compile and prepare a thorough and comprehensive parole packet. During the hearing itself, Seth gave a strong and compelling presentation that effectively humanized my friend before the Board, while also providing my friend’s family members the opportunity to voice their support. As a direct result of Seth’s efforts, my friend was approved for parole and will be coming home much sooner than expected! I would highly recommend Topek & Topek to anyone who might find themselves in a similar situation. We are so very grateful for your help!!

Topeks successful at 1st Parole Hearing

I first contacted Seth and his father when my son was sentenced to 10 years in prison which he began to serve in San Antonio in the fall of 2014. I was impressed with this father and son law team due to their excellent reviews on the internet. Their fee was a flat $5000 which may be higher than the a...verage, but I believe that one usually gets what one pays for. And this proved to be true from the very beginning. There were never any para-legals or junior clerical staff involved. There was never a boiler-plate form letter suggested or written. Every detail of the case was handled personally by the principals of the law office. At least twice, Seth made the journey to San Antonio (which must have been 10 hours each time) to visit my son in prison and give him guidance. His father traveled several counties away to obtain police reports. When it came time for the 1st parole hearing, Seth was well prepared, articulate, and convincing before the parole board. The parole board granted parole after my son had served 6 months of a 10 year sentence. I think that this law team probably spent more than 100 hours on the case. I would not hesitate to reccommend this legal team to anyone who wishes to find the best in legal representation. John in Virginia
