Case dismissed!

I can't express enough gratitude for the incredible work that David Breston and his team put into my case. I was facing felony charges based on false accusations from my ex-boyfriend, which turned my life upside down and felt like a never-ending nightmare. As a nurse, my career and future were at sta...ke. These charges caused me to lose my job and my ability to care for my patients, adding to the immense stress I was under. From the very beginning, David assured me that he would fight for me and take the case to trial if necessary. I retained David after my first lawyer failed to keep me informed about my case being indicted by the grand jury, despite me passing a polygraph and writing a letter related to the allegations. David's professionalism, nonjudgmental attitude, and confidence in my case were truly remarkable. His unwavering confidence provided the guidance and support I desperately needed during moments of doubt and frustration. Thanks to David's tireless efforts, my case was dismissed, and I can finally move forward and close this chapter of my life. I wholeheartedly recommend David Breston 100%. He knows the court system inside out and will fight for you to win. I can't thank him enough for everything he has done for me!

CASE DISMISSED

Mr. Breston is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the practice of law. He is honest, open, efficient, educated, knowledgeable and a really detail oriented person, professional and attorney. From the first meeting of my case to discuss the details to the end result of DISMISSAL and charges dropped..., he is compassionate and trustworthy. He eased all of my concerns during every step of the court process and provided me with a level of trust and assurance that I was looking for. Amongst the many reviews, I concur with the statement "He always makes sure to keep in contact and his office is very great at keeping you updated with your case every step of the way". He works for YOU as his client and is extremely knowledgeable about the court system. I would not recommend anyone else in the Houston area to represent me, and attorney "shopping" was not easy. I am blessed that I was able to have Mr. Breston representing me and continuously working for me in this regard. I will continue to use their services, processes and knowledge during the expungement and/or sealant process. Thank you. A million times, thank you.

Cannot recommend a better attorney!

David Breston has been wonderful from start to finish! I had him help with early release from probation and David and his entire team went above and beyond from day one. He stayed in touch with me every step of the way and made several adjustments as we went along because of a complicated case that i...nvolved multiple jurisdictions. The outcome was as good as it could have been thanks to this team. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing help, especially if you want a personal approach to your case. They are professional and get results you need! Thank you David, and Mr. Roulette as well, for your exceptional work!
