Highly recommended
Paul Darrow is an outstanding lawyer. I was arrested for DWI and thought it would cost me my job. Paul set my mind at ease and went to work fighting the case for me. He did a great job and the case was dismissed. I couldn't be happier.
Paul Albert Darrow III's Lawyer Endorsements
"Last year I was fortunate enough to assist Paul on criminal trial where his client was accused of sexually assaulting two young females. We were facing a skilled prosecution team in Montgomery County, Texas. The DA had three prosecutors including the chief of child abuse. The trial judge was extremely tough and the odds were totally against us. The plea bargain offer was 40 years in prison! Paul conducted a masterful voir dire which gave us an open minded jury that would carefully consider the evidence. Paul cross examined the DA's expert DNA witness so effectively that the jurors were openly laughing at the DNA expert as he tripped over his own words and got confused. The end result was a hung jury were 10 of the 12 jurors voted for a Not Guilty verdict."
