Falsely accused and now free!
When I knew that my family may need a lawyer due to false allegations, I did my research and felt that Neal would be the best person for the case. From before the charges, to where to call for bond and helpful documentation; he was there. He fought hard for us by constructing a team that was all hands on deck. They kept us informed and managed our expectations along the way. After overcoming many impossible hurdles, Neal and his team were still able to earn a dismissal. My family will forever be grateful for the peace that he was able to give us.

Relentless Pursuit
It was a hard time going through all this but never the less I told Neal and his team that I was going to fight till the end and he said he would too. They did such an amazing job, they truly did fight to the end to get my case dismissed. This was my first legal issue and they handled it like pros. If you want the odds to be in your favor, HIRE NEAL DAVIS AND HIS TEAM!!!

Extremely skilled family violence attorney
The “me too” movement has brought positive change, but these changes have left many men exposed to false accusations that need an attorney that is experienced in this type of criminal law. I was referred to Neal as “the guy” to call in domestic/family violence. He was very knowledgeable in the steps to take, and managed my case masterfully. His advice and guidance were crucial in the dismissal of charges. Thank you!!

Top Notch Legal Action
I was charged with possession of controlled substance under 1 gram for my first offense, and I searched for lawyers and found Neal Davis. I had never been through this process before but it was very smooth and he made it easy to talk about my situation. I was also very comfortable to ask him as many questions as I had and he was able to answer them. My case was dismissed and I could not be more grateful for his work and I recommend him to anybody that is going through legal issues, he is your man

Solicitation of a Prostitute case dismissed !!!
I’m convinced Neal Davis is one of the best Lawer’s in town.I was among one of the first in the country to be charged with a felony for Solicitation of a prostitute.I couldn’t believe the charge I was now facing for just talking to a woman.I had no idea who to call for legal help so I knew it was time to start checking around. After meeting up with Several lawyers non of them except Neal showed me the confidence to navigate around in the new sex crime division with many uncertainties. After signing Neal Davis to my case I was not stressed out anymore because I knew I had the best lawer working on my case ! Neal Davis always answered or returned my calls promptly.After 6 months Neal Davis got my case dismissed!!! If you want a aggressive law firm to work on your side look no further. Thank you so much to the Neal Davis law firm for helping me get my life back on track!!

When the Odds are against you
Neal Davis is a very professional, patient, personable, and detailed attorney. From start to finish he worked aggressively to gather all the facts of my case, which was a charge of solicitation. My world was falling apart and the odds were against me. Neal's extensive knowledge about cases like mine and his savvy to navigate the courts intricate system were evident from the positive results he got. His attention to detail and tireless efforts got my case significantly reduced from a Class 3 felony to a Class B misdemeanor. Neal gave me my life back. Thank you Neal for a job well done!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Neal Davis for any case where the odds are against you. He is the RIGHT attorney for the job!!

Outstanding Representation!
I had the opportunity to meet Neal Davis when facing some serious but false accusations. After our first meeting I knew I was in good hands and he proved it throughout the whole process. Always wiling to take time out to answer any questions, Mr. Davis treats you like a friend and not just a client. He gets results and will fight to get you the best possible outcome. My case: dismissed! I am forever grateful for everything Neal Davis has done in achieving these results. If you ever find yourself needing an attorney, call Neal and don't look back. I can't recommend him enough. Thank you!!!!

Best Attorney Ever
I highly recommend Neal to anyone in need of an experienced, knowledgeable, confident, caring and compassionate attorney. We loved that he was honest since day one did not sugarcoat a thing. Just really straight forward on everything. AMAZING is an understatement! This lawfirm is very diligent, hardworking and honest. He actually stay in touch with you (the client) to keep you well informed on your case. The case was closed under 6 months. A case we tought it was going take longer to resolve. Neal made us feel extremely important as our case was his one and only case. He was available at any time, we called, he would answer. His receptionis is also awesome not once fail to pass on a message and would actually have a call back asoon as possible. If for any reason he was in a meeting Neal would actually step out of the meeting and call me back that moment. Not once we had to speak to an assistant. We loved the fact that it was just direct communication to him. I really do believe our case would of been lost if he wouldn't have been our attorney. Thank you very much Neal Davis

Neal is your man!
“Neal Davis Law Firm”. Neal & Tyler are two of the most amazing attorneys you will ever come across! I called Neal on a Sunday as he was out of town. He drove back to meet me at 8:30pm on a Sunday night. They helped my family every step of the way! They made every call that needed to be made and kept my family up to date with everything. I did not have a single issue or any negative remarks whatsoever regarding the firm. They made themselves available no matter what the time. If you ever need at attorney, just know that you shouldn’t think twice when it comes to the Neal Davis Law Firm, you are considered one of the family. Thank You Neal for everything that you do.

This is your guy!
If you want the best, this is who you call - period. Your reputation, criminal history, and your freedom may be on the line. I consulted with Neal Davis and I was immediately impressed. He exudes professionalism and extensive legal knowledge, which put me at ease during our very first meeting. Mr. Davis and his associate, Tyler Brock, walked me though each step of the process. They were compassionate and easy to talk to and I felt thoroughly prepared for each court hearing. Ultimately, my case was dismissed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

A World-Class Criminal Defense Attorney!
Mr. Neal Davis and his team are the real deal. Many attorneys refer to their career in law as a job. Neal displays the traits of a gentleman who refers to his as a calling! He is well respected within the legal community and has a proven track-record of success. Neal was available for me 24/7 when I had any questions or concerns about my case (Felony Assault - Domestic) for which I was falsely accused. (Grand Jury returned "No Bill"). I, like many others, had originally hired another attorney who was sub-par to say the very least. A word of advice... Don't try to save a few bucks when it comes to your Freedom and Rights as a Citizen under the Constitution of the United States! The stakes are high... and your choice of Council should reflect that. This legal process was by far the lowest point in my life. I felt alone, had severe stress/anxiety and almost lost my career as well. That being said, I was able to sleep well at night knowing that I had Neal and his team in my corner. That fact alone... is priceless! Do yourself a favor and give them a call. You will immediately feel at ease and realize that you are in THE BEST hands possible given your current situation, whatever that may be. In closing, I'd like to remind you to keep your Faith strong! Even when your chips are down and you have moments of doubt... remember that there is beauty in the struggle. It will display.. AND build... your character as a human being. You will get through this... and Neal Davis will help you get there!

I am very grateful to have contacted Mr. Davis, he made sure my case was a priority in a time of need. I would recommend Neal Davis to friends and family. Thank you so much.

Absolutely The Best
I am posting this anonymously due to the fact that our son had a traumatic brain injury many years ago and we want to respect his privacy and not cause him any more trauma in his life. As a family we knew we needed to tell anyone needing criminal legal counsel to contact the Neal Davis Law Firm. Never thought that our family would ever need a criminal defense attorney to represent us but we did and we got absolutely the best, Neal Davis. Neal helped our family get through a very dark and trying time. Neal walked us through the process of our specific circumstances regarding the law and what to expect. Neal always made himself available for questions and lent a very compassionate ear when we felt helpless and vulnerable touching the arm of the criminal justice system. If you or anyone you know needs help, call Neal Davis, you will receive the best defense you possibly can bar none! FYI - all is well, no charges! Love and blessings to you and yours always Neal!

Evading arrest w/v, 2 DUI’s
Mr. Davis, with his experience when dealing with criminal cases, was able to dismiss my husband’s evading arrest w/v. He also was able to get the least amount of months, on his suspended license for a 2nd DUI. My husband is a resident but had an immigration hold however after Mr. Davis was able to get the felony dismissed, they removed the hold. We are very pleased with his work. God Bless you Mr. Davis.

My son’s case misdemeanor A got dismissed
Mr. Neil Davis a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. My son has Misdemeanor A in a very difficult court (Fort Bend Court) and he got dismissed. Not only was Mr. Neil able to defend us from an unjust accusation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My children and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. NeilBrock without reservation.”

One of the best Experienced Criminal Attorneys in Texas!
Neal Davis was invaluable in helping us through a difficult time. After our son was involved in an incident with a minor, we didn’t know which end was up. We were dealing with the overwhelming emotions involved in knowing our son was in serious trouble with this incident hanging over his head and its future ramifications for a long time. Neal walked us through the process and made it easy. He answered all of our questions, no matter how trivial (even on the weekends and at night!), and he took time out of his day to make sure we were always properly prepared to respond to all court and legal requirements and requests. Neal helped us to get justice for our son by getting all charges successfully dropped, thus freeing our son from this ominous cloud. Now that we know our son will be able to pursue his dreams, he now can focus on making up for the lost time! I’d HIGHLY recommend Neal and would definitely use him again, if the need arises.

One of the best
I hired Neal Davis for a few reasons - 1) he was available to talk with me when I called his office for the first time for information 2) expertise in the area needed and 3) board certified. He did an excellent job. I know he put in many hours of research and talking with colleagues for the best defense possible. Neal was always available by phone, email or text. Neal is good at what he does and is confident, knowledgeable and experienced. I can't thank him enough.
