DWI DISMISSED

I had met 6 or 7 lawyers in regards to my dwi charge. I found laywers that overpromised for 12,000-15,000, and I met laywers as low as 1,000 but didn’t seem to care about my case at all. I was referred to Ed by a friend of mine. When I met him, his price was generous and he CARED about my case, my ba...ckground, and my whole story. He was real with me how the system works, and I appreciated his concern for me. I chose him. He got my case dismissed. He helped me and I recommend him over anyone, every time. I wish yall the best.

Class A misdemeanor charge dismissed in 3 days

Ed maintained daily communication with me from the Monday we met to the Thursday morning a judge signed a motion to dismiss my case. He always made himself available for questions and provided thorough explanations each step of the way. It is beyond incredible what Ed was able to accomplish and I am ...extremely grateful to have him as my attorney.

Misdemenor Class A - Family Violence -- Dismissed completely -- No charges at all .

I was referred to Mr. Ed McClees . He was extremely passionate, honest and No Bull Lawyer. He was great and answered all the questions and understood my critical situation. I was in the process of getting my citizenship and if I had even a small charge all my years of hard work and lots of sacrifice... would have been lost along with also losing my good job, engineering license, my citizenship ( which I dreamed of and worked toward right from age 5 ) also lose my family as I was potential can be deported. Mr. Ed McClees got the case completely dismissed and in a short time period too. I would strongly recommend him to anyone as he stands by his words and very knowledgeable and helpful. If you want to win -- Hire him.

Ed is a great lawyer

Ed got my case June 14, 2017 needed time to looked over the evidence. Got my felony dropped to a class a misdemeanor July 13, 2017. He is great thank you so much Mr Mcclees.

Ed is an amazing lawyer who will flight for your rights and work hard to produce results.

I was charged with a case that brought me a tremendous amount of stress, frustration and expense. Ed came to my relief and I am so grateful that he was referred to me. The first attorney I hired was too relaxed and as a result I lost the opportunity to build a strong defense (speak to key witnesses, ...retain any video footage, etc). When I switched my attorney to Ed- he was the best thing that ever happened to me. He listened well, and asked good questions. He looked at my case from all angles. He answered my questions no matter what time of the day I would ask. He produced great results; I got my cases dismissed! Ed is thorough and also passionate about his work. This is the type of representation you need if you want to win your case.
