Professional, Friendly and Compentant

At the last minute my husband, who was working out of state, needed to be represented at his hearing for a driver's license suspension. I must have called at least 15 attorneys in the Houston area. All of them took my information and assured me someone would be calling me shortly. Not one of those ot...her law firms ever called me back. I was referred to Mr. De Leef by another law firm that didn't service the court we would be at. They promptly returned my call. I spoke with Dawn from the office multiple times in the first 2 hours after contacting the office. She was so friendly and helpful, and they didn't even bat an eye at the fact that I was calling on Thursday to be represented in court on the next TUESDAY! She was thorough and extremely helpful, and Mr. De Leef even contacted the court on our behalf within 30 minutes of me initially contacting them. They were upfront about the charges, and in my opinion their prices were extremely fair. Better still, he got us a positive outcome, and my husband's license was not suspended for an additional year. I am so grateful that I found them. They made a stressful situation as easy and painless for us as I could have hoped. I would recommend this law firm to anyone whose looking for a law firm that communicates promptly, and gets the job done!

First Rate Representation

A consummate professional in every respect. Peter defended me in a family violence case that had implications for my relationship with my son, as well as my career and professional reputation. He and his partners prove competent, accessible within reason, and deeply sincere. The both of us worked to ...present the best defense possible, with evidence that reduced my sentence to something I believe was fair and reasonable. Bravo.

Very respected in his field

Peter is the best lawyer to hire if you are involved in any criminal dispute. He knows the law and has a get it done attitude. I was falsely accused of a felony and several class A misdemeanors and Peter was able to see right through the false accusations and was able to pull off the impossible. All ...charges were dropped and eventually expunged. As a former prosecutor, he knows the ins and outs of the system. He knows exactly what the next move will be and can respond diligently in your defense. The most important thing to remember with working with Peter is to tell the truth. Regardless if you are guilty or not, the only way for him to truly help you come away with the most fair outcome, he must know the truth when he speaks to prosecutors. This will let the prosecutors know that Peter truly knows his client well and will do whatever it takes to prevent his client from getting a record. Remember, as a prosecutor, he is a good judge of character and is right on when it comes to reading people. If you need an attorney, Peter is the one to hire. You can trust your life in his hands.
