Steadfast Support

When I was involved in an incident where I had to defend myself for fear of the loss of my life or serious bodily injury, I knew I would need to get out ahead of it from a legal standpoint. After careful research and speaking with multiple attorneys, I ultimately selected David to represent me and qu...ickly realized I should’ve just saved myself some time and gone straight to him. He and his team assisted me better than I could’ve ever foreseen. He communicated with me on a constant basis, always keeping me updated and informed. His knowledge of the law and his ability to utilize it to help my case helped put me at ease. While I realize every case or incident is different and no one should ever expect a specific outcome, I’d want him in my corner legally fighting for me when the need arises.

Expert Practitioner

David and his team were highly responsive and knowledgeable with my concerns. After my initial consultation I knew that I chose the right Lawyer/Legal team for my case and it was dismissed at trial one month later.

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.

Came to Mr. Breston to help settle my DWI case. Cost was affordable and payment methods were accommodating. Great set of defense routes that he had incase something popped up in my case. Eventually went on the suitable route to get my case dismissed. will hire again, if ever need to. Thank you from t...he bottom of my heart 10/10
