      Review Tyrone Moncriffe

      Tyrone Moncriffe is a magnificent attorney.

      Posted by

      Tyrone Moncriffe done a magnificent job representing my son after a fight in High School had him facing a 3rd degree felony for injury to a child when my son was 17 and the other kid was 14, basically 2 kids having a fight and I really didn't understand why the DA was pushing such a harsh penalty. Thanks to Mr. Moncriffe's great representation my son ended up with a misdemeanor and 1 year of probation and I sincerely thank Tyrone Moncriffe for his dedication and time devoted to my sons case.

      Super Attorney / Best in Houston

      Posted by

      I had a charge with life changing consequences.My livelihood in jeopardy over a minor charge. I could not accept deferred adjudication or a plea bargain. Fortunately I have a close relative that is a criminal defense attorney. Attorney Moncriffe made a profound impact on my relative as a mentor. My relative told me way back if I ever needed an attorney, to contact attorney Moncriffe , because he is the best in Houston. Thats what I did and my case was dismissed. Attorney Moncriffe is highly respected in the legal community . He is a fighter , feared in the courtroom as a trial attorney and highly respected in the legal community. He quickly set my case for trial and went to work to have my case dismissed. Fortunately case was dismissed . Attorney Moncriffe does not accept plea bargains when the facts are not there! Tyrone understands criminal charges devastate a persons life. I am forever grateful to attorney Moncriffe and his exceptional legal assistant Polly. I can highly recommend this attorney without reservation.

      Mr. Moncriffe worked diligently with my case the whole duration of it. He was quick to respond to any email I sent him, and believed in me! He helped me clear my name and walk away with a clean record once I complete community service. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.

      Posted by

      One of my neighbors church members referred me to Mr Moncriffe. Do to the severity of my case I was told that I needed the best of the best. Surly Mr Moncriffe was the perfect fit to handle such a case. Before meeting him I had a lot of sleepless nights wondering what would be the outcome. But after my first visit Mr Moncriffe made me feel secure. He was very pleasant to talk to and he listens very well to detail. In all my 50 plus years I’ve need knew that attorney’s that would put in the work and not worry about money like he did. I would say if anyone need a Great Attorney then Mr Tyrone Moncriffe is the one for you. The end result, my case was dismissed. Tyrone Moncriffe may “GOD” always Bless You and Keep You! Thank You...

      2 Felony Charges

      Posted by

      Mr. Moncriffe is the absolute BEST. He is so patient, kind and caring. He did an amazing job representing me on my case. One felony case was dismissed and the other he was able to talk down to only 3 years deferred probation. I would certainly advise anyone with a criminal case from Houston and surrounding counties to hire him. He has been such A BLESSING to my family and myself. We thank him tremendously for his heart and his hard work. Best Lawyer Around!!!

      He saved me

      Posted by

      Mr. Moncriffe was my attorney who took a chance on me when others wouldn’t. For that I am very grateful. I was charged with 3 counts of Child indecency. All illustrated by my ex wife that made my kids lie to the authorities after I filled for divorced. She had accused me of rape also. After 5 years of this horrible time in my life I was set free when the truth came out and dismissed of all charges. He always assured me that he would fight hard for me. He always answered my phone calls and became a true friend to me and my family. I now have my son and moving on with my life. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a professional and a master at work. Thank you very much Mr. Moncriffe.

      I have known and dealt with Tyronne both as a prosecutor going up against him and as a defense attorney. As a prosecutor, he was feared by all as a zealous advocate for his client and a worthy adversary to go up against in trial. As a defense attorney, he is one of our most respected and knowledgeable peers with an exceptional gift for dealing with clients and juries. I strongly endorse him.
