Fantastic Lawyer!!!

I met Brent 2 years ago when my daughter needed a lawyer for DUI. He was always available to meet, even on the weekend. He is a very talented lawyer and gave us options to choose from and explained each one in depth and he never seemed rushed with us. He did his research, he fought for her and was... always supportive to her. He has a great work ethic and focused on winning and he did! I would highly recommend Brent as a lawyer!

Best Lawyer in Houston!

Brent Mayr is hands down the best lawyer to represent your case. I met with Brent in March of 2016 and immediately felt that he was more than willing to help me in my situation. Brent is a stand up guy who shows integrity and an immense amount of intellect in his profession. I encourage anyone who is... in a bad spot to hire Brent. In fact, I believe that he is the only attorney that you should consider and I wouldn't put my life or reputation in any other attorneys hands. By October of the same year I had my case dismissed and Brent worked tirelessly to convince the prosecutor that I was simpy put in a bad spot. By the end of the year he was able to follow through and get the charge expunged. If you are a professional and want your case handled by a professional Brent is your guy without a doubt.

Best Lawyer Ever

Attorney Brent Mayr was the absolutely best lawyer to represent me on my case. I was charged with possession of dangerous drugs. He made it very for me to understand exactly what was going on during my trial. Ultimately after I completed my probation, he was able to expunge my record. Without him I ...would not hand been able to go back to school and find a great job. I would recommend Mr. Mayr to represent anyone in need of excellent defense.

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 16

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Brent is not only a great lawyer, but a better person. What you should look for in a lawyer is someone you can trust. You need to trust they'll fight for you, trust in their skill and expertise, trust they will investigate and research all aspects of your situation. I trust Brent Mayr as a person, friend, and most certainly as a lawyer. Brent is not only one of the hardest working lawyers for his clients, but compassionate. His results over the last couple years demonstrate that with a not guilty in Federal court in Austin, an acquittal in an Intoxication Manslaughter in El Paso, and an acquittal in criminally negligent homicide in Montgomery county (all of which would be lifetime achievements for most lawyers). I happy to call Brent a friend and colleague; and anyone lucky enough to have him as their lawyer will feel the same."

"I have seen Brent's (Thomas') work as both a trial lawyer and as an appellate lawyer first hand over the past 10 years. We have represented individuals together and have also been on the opposite sides while he was a prosecutor. He is smart, diligent, and a great advocate for his clients. I would endorse Brent to anyone looking for a criminal lawyer without hesitation."
