Best Criminal Defense Lawyer

My son was recently arrested for a felony which had a prison sentence associated with it. Having previously been a police officer, I reached out to some of my knowledgeable friends to evaluate the TX penitentiaries . My heart dropped when I learned that TX penitentiaries are considered second in gang... violence and brutality. To top it off, I ways told the odds of my son surviving would be very slim. In our darkest hour a divine miracle occurred. In a conversation with a childhood friend who unbeknownst to me was extremely knowledgeable concerning TX criminal defense attorneys, I was told Bill Stradley and Neal Davis are considered the absolute best. I gave them a call and they both called back on a conference call that night and, they were retained,. When a loved one's life is a stake,money is secondary; however, I was pleased to learn that Bill and Neal split the fee which was a blessing in it's self. Through out the process, both were very accessible on their cell phones. While they were candid, they were both friendly, warm and,caring. The results obtained by these two was an answer to a prayer! The sentence was probation. Bill and Neal will be life-long friends to whom I am eternally grateful

Look no further, Neal and Tyler ARE your new attorneys!

When your attorney enters the courtroom, don't you want to stand out from all the rest? I know that I sure did, and that's what I got! It's due to the experience and knowledge Neal Davis and Tyler Brock withhold - also by providing the utmost care and concern in regards to not only my case, but to my... life as well. I could immediately tell these people at SDR Firm meant SERIOUS business the first day I ever sat down for a chat with Ty in his office. These guy's broke their backs throughout my court case, devoting themselves day in and day out toward the outcome (which turned out being dismissal, as it should've been). Unlike most attorney's I've seen or hear about, Neal and Tyler dug extremely deep revealing such intense facts on the background of my arresting officers and investigating so many points of my arrest proving my original concern and suspicion of it being a completely bogus arrest. Neal and Ty stand up for what is right, and let nothing else get in the way. God forbid I ever need an attorney again, I know 100% that I will never need to search again, because this firm will forever be the #1 in Texas. So! If your looking for a real firm with real people to provide you with absolute security and a foot forward in the game from the get go, I STRONGLY suggest you give them a call! All the other guy's are just child's play. It'll change your life, back to how it was before this ever happened. That's the point in hiring an attorney anyway, isn't it?? And to Neal and Ty, if you're reading this - thank you again, so much!!

Thank you Neal Davis!

I am so thankful that I found Mr. Davis to handle my fiances case. He was very knowledgable, he kept us informed, and fought for us. He kept the lines of communication open at all times - weekends,evenings - we had his email address and his cell phone number. He had our case dropped within a month... of being hired (and he even took a weeks vacation in that time). I would most definately recommend Mr. Davis to anyone in need of a lawyer.

Best Lawyer in Texas

I would recommend Neal Davis for any criminal defense case. He is always ready and prepared when it is time to go to trial. He covers all details and issues involved in your defense. In my case we were so well prepared for trail the district attoney dropped all charges and expunged my arrest record. ...He saw and understand that the criminal charges brought against me were unwarranted and the DPS officer in this case lied to get the charges accepted by the D.A.
