Highly recommend utilizing the services of David Breston!!

I, like most, typically don't like to deal with lawyers/attorneys unless absolutely necessary. I had something come up unexpectedly and while searching online late at night, around 9pm, after already speaking to multiple lawyers/attorneys earlier in the day....most of which were unhelpful and couldn'...t care less, many never answered or returned my voice mail, I got a hold of David Breston. He called me late at night, on his personal cell, and was courteous, professional, respectful. Made an appointment, went in to see him and just as was the case on the phone, he was very helpful and answered all my questions. I have unfortunately had to deal with the law, courts, and other lawyers/attorneys in my life and this was the best experience I have had. I never felt as though I was being taken advantage of and/or he wasn't given me sound legal advice and/or help. I highly recommend reaching out to David Breston and obtaining his services, or at the very least, utilizing his skills and knowledge with regards to whatever legal issue you are faced with.

Great choice

I had never been in a situation where I needed a lawyer before I met Mr. Breston , but I googled lawyers in the downtown area and I located him . When I first spoke to him he told me right off the bat that my particular case was not one that he normally handles but he would be glad to help him anyway... . After consulting with Mr Breston , I hired him. Needless to say he showed up to my hearing and he helped me win my case. I am extremely grateful to him and I would definitely recommend his services .

Never again!!!!!

My husband made the mistake of hiring this man. From day 1 when we met him, i got nothing but bad vibes. As we sat in his office talking over misdemeanor case, all he he did was sit there on his phone and after he was done doing whatever he was doing on his phone, he just look and question us what di...d we want to do with the case. What kind of question is that?!?! He gave no recommendations because according to him we had to hire him first. Any lawyer that knows his stuff and wants to hired gives you opinions and options on what is to happen with the case. I had to step out of the room because we had our toddler with us and Mr. Breston seemed very bothered with his presence there, he did nothing but give dirty looks to my 1 year old. That's when without my knowledge he had been hired by my husband. All 3 times my husband has had court he has never been present, he sends his paralegal because misdemeanor cases & i quote "are not important to him, he only deals with the big cases" Yesterday my husband had court and called Mr. Breston office to inform he was stuck in traffic and was going to be 10 minutes late well the secretary said she would call clerks office and inform them. When my husband got to court he got arrested for being late and the paralegal did nothing knowing he was late. This has by far been the worse experience and we still have to put up this horrible lawyer and his staff. Every time we have called asking questions about the case they always give us the same answers, we need to look up your case we'll give you a call back & never get calls back after we constantly call. The only time they reach out to my husband is when they need him to pay up. Lord knows we are beyond done with these people and looking forward the end of this case. We have been through hell & don't wish this nightmare on anyone else. Look elsewhere for your own good! !

You need to read this before hiring David Breston to represent you!

I hired David back in November after being arrested and charged with two offenses that I didn't commit; misdemeanor family assault and felony evading arrest in Harris County. In our first meeting, David was confident that he could obtain the results that I was hoping for and even told me that he had ...a really good relationship with the judge in the court that my cases were assigned to. So, I hired him with confidence that he would work to resolve my cases. Prior to my first court date, David advised me to have my wife, the complainant in my assault case, accompany me to court to show her support for me. I questioned this because the court issued a restraining order against me as a condition of my bond. However, he assured me that it would be the right thing to do and I therefore decided to do so. That morning in court, I waited around for David to show up for almost two hours after they called docket and the judge began seeing defendants. Then two women came and called my name and came over and said they were associates of David's and that they were there to fill in because David was busy. Really, I'm paying this guy thousands of dollars and he sends me someone that knows nothing about me or my cases. So, she went up to the judge and prosecutors and came back and asked me why on earth did I bring my wife into court with me? She said the judge and prosecutor didn't take that very well because I was breaking their restraining order. I explained that David advised me to do so and she promptly responded "No, David didn't advise you"....she wanted to make sure and cover his rear. He could have been sanctioned by the courts if it came to light that he advised me to break the law. So, I go up to see the judge and she tells me that I would not be going home with my wife that day and instead I would be reporting for community supervision. So now, because of David, I've not only angered the judge but I also have to go pee in a cup, undergo evaluations and pay more money to the county each month. Strike one! David never accepted responsibility for what he did and instead stood by his advise. So to shorten this up a little. That day, the ADA was also upset about what I did and they started looking for a way to enhance my charge from a misdemeanor to a felony family assault with bodily injury. So, my next court date rolls around and it's for the felony evasion. David actually showed up on time this time. He goes and talks to the prosecutor and comes back several minutes later and approaches me with a plea offer. They would drop the felony evading if I plead guilty to the misdemeanor family assault and they would sentence me to 180 days in jail, fines and 3 years of unadjudicated probation. I said absolutely not and he threw a hissy fit and told me I was making a mistake because they would enhance my assault to a felony and I'd be looking at 2-10 years of prison. I told David I wasn't going to jail for something I didn't do and he sat right there and questioned the validity of my proclamation of innocence. Really, was my lawyer treating me as though I was lying. Needless to say I was done with this shyster. I fired him and hired a much more reputable lawyer and its two months later now and that lawyer attended the states presentation of my cases to the grand jury to obtain an indictment and presented my side of the story, lie detector tests and a statement from my wife, and the grand jury denied the indictments and "No Billed" both of my cases. David wasn't even going to attend that grand jury hearing...he told me there would be nothing he could do. In closing, David cares about nothing but maximizing his hourly rate by disposing your case as quickly as possible. He deals in high volume, so he doesn't really want to work for you. If you are facing a crime that involves possible jail time, DO NOT HIRE David Breston. You will be throwing your freedom away!
