Case dismissed!

David Breston was able to get my case dismissed! I had to call my family members 1 by 1 and tell them the good news! Not only was he very reasonable with his rates, he was great at communicating with me leading up to the court date.

AWESOME LAWYER

I have never had to deal with a lawyer before, but I can say working with David Breston to get my son out of jail was very easy, and simple. I live in Louisiana and he worked his case as if I was in Houston. He kept his word and did everything he said he would. He made sure he communicated with me th...rough every step. I didn't have to wonder about anything. The process didn't take long at all. From my conversations with him he really does care about the well being of his clients. He's not just a lawyer he's a human being. Thanks so much for all your help David. If anyone is looking for a really good genuine defense attorney David Breston is the way to go.

Criminal Defense Lawyer

David Breston represented me in my case in 2014. He fought hard in my defense, and I am able to say that I am grateful to him and his staff. This has helped me open new doors of opportunities in my life, and leave my case in the past. I would always recommend his office to anyone that would need any ...legal representation or consultation.
