A miracle worker
Chris did a fantastic job for me! He made everything easy and explained the whole process along the way. Even after getting my case dismissed he kept working hard for me to secure my property that was forfeited to the police. This team is truly the best and will %100 take care of you.

Hit and run
Christopher McKinney is exactly what I needed when facing a hit and run accusation. I could not afford a class B misdemeanor with my career and background checks.

Awesome Lawyer!
Doug and Chris did a great job of getting my 2nd DWI case dismissed. They were awesome and I will for sure recommend anyone needing legal help to them!

Makes Miracles Happen
I have had several other lawyers but none come even close to comparing to Chris. He is extremely knowledgeable and willing to work to find any way he can to help your case. He helped me on a number of cases that seemed initially hopeless. He was able to miraculously get a a felony DWI knocked down ...
"Experience, intelligence and professionalism are what sets Chris McKinney as a true professional DWI and criminal defense lawyer above his peers. There are few lawyers who understand the legal and scientific intricacies of intoxication manslaughter, intoxication assault and DWI cases. There are even fewer lawyers that care about their clients and prepare for battle on each and every case. Chris McKinney goes the distance on every case and that is why he enjoys such a stellar reputation amongst prosecutors, judges and defense lawyers. I have been opposing counsel against him, and now I am now honored to work with him on cases."
"Christopher McKinney and I worked together at the Harris County District Attorney's Office as prosecutors in the Vehicular Crimes Section. Chris always worked hard and was exceptionally prepared on his cases. He is no different as a defense attorney. Not many people can say that they worked as a prosecutor in Vehicular Crimes. Chris can. He has experience handling intoxication manslaughter and DWI cases that some defense attorneys never get and others get only after years of practice. You can't go wrong with hiring Chris, especially if you're charged with an intoxication related offense."
"Chris McKinney is one of a handful of lawyers that understands every angle of intoxication manslaughter, intoxication assault, DWI, and vehicular crimes. Chris is an excellent attorney."
"Chris is an exceptional attorney, and his reputation as such is well known in Harris County. His talents made him a successful prosecutor, and he has used that experience to become an incredible defense lawyer. I’m more than confident in his abilities, and would definitely want him in my corner. Chris excels in representing his clients, but he also has a level of care and concern for them that is unrivaled. Chris has my complete confidence, and my most sincere endorsement."
"As a former prosecutor, Chris knows his way around a courtroom and has connections that can get his clients the best results. As a defense lawyer, he is aggressive and fights hard for his clients. Chris is a great lawyer."
"I worked with Chris for around 5 years at the Harris County District Attorney's Office. Chris is an excellent attorney with a great understanding of DWI defense, criminal defense, and appellate work."
"I had the privilege with working with Chris on a few matters when we were both ADA's in Harris County. His knowledge of DWI law is expansive and I know he will use that knowledge to effectively represent his clients and secure favorable results."
"Mr. McKinney is a true proessional. An ethical and trustworthy attorney who pays attention to detail. I endorse Mr. McKinney and would recommend him for criminal defense work in Harris County."
"Chris was a fantastic prosecutor and an even better defense lawyer. We have worked together on matters and as opposing counsel. Anyone who hires Chris is in great hands."
