Best Criminal Lawyer in Houston!

Toni Lynn Thompson Sharretts, is by far the best lawyer that I've ever had! She is a smart and knowledgeable lawyer that really knows what she's doing. She really knows how to read people and knew that i was innocent she had sleepless nights fighting to defend me and proof my innocence, wich she did!... I was wrongfully accused of a serious crime in wich i would of been sentenced a very long time in prison if if i were to been indicted and charged. I feel like she saved me from the mouth of a hungry lion! The lawyer that i had before her told me that I didn't have a stong case and that I might of had to some time but he said that he was gonna make sure that i dint sit in prisson for too long. So i fired him and hired Toni Sharretts and its the best decision that I've ever done in my life because if it wasn't for her I'd be sitting in prison right now. Toni Sharretts has a great heart and really understand people! She kept me well informed she costantly visited me when I was in the Harris County and informed me of any up dates in the case. Her fees are very reasonable and she has a great payment plan! She is handling my divorce case right now and she is doing a great job with that as well! I well never hire any other attorney except for Toni Sharretts. I am very happy to be out of the huge mess that i was in and I owe it all to her, if you have a family member that needs legal help from a great lawyer or you need to find a great lawyer to represent you in court hire Toni Lynn Thompson Sharretts and she will do everything in her power to get you off the hook. I am a single father i have a two year old son named Nathaniel that is my life im a very real and average person i reside in Spring Branch Houston Texas and work as a waiter and make a honest and humble living and Toni Sharretts allowed me to get my simple life back! Thank you Toni Sharrets I will forever be thankful to you!!!

More than just a lawyer

Mrs. Sharretts goes above and beyond the call of duty. She really cared about my situation even when i was in jail and believed me from day one. money was just a technicality to her. i cant say enough about her. Words cant describe the piece of mind she gave me and my family. She even took care of ot...her legal issues i had that she didnt have to. i have full faith that my case will get thrown out due do her diligence and hard work. Toni if your reading this, you are the best! and i have dealt with a lot of lawyers.

Great Lawyer!!

I highly recommend Toni to anyone that needs a good, hard-working attorney. I was charged with felony failure to render aid after a kid ran in front of my car. I sat in jail for 3 months with the mother of this child saying I intentionally hit him. I did not. This kid ran out in front of my car wh...ile I was driving the speed limit to go to the grocery after school. When I stopped my car to see what had happened and if I actually hit this teenager, I was threatened by a huge group of men by a convenience store in a bad area of town and my babies were in the car with me. I looked back and the little boy had gotten up and was talking and laughing. I couldn't believe this nightmare. Toni went to the scene, took pictures, showed the boy, his mother and the witnesses were all lying about what happened to get money. Toni presented this to the grand jury and got the case no-billed. I cannot thank her enough for getting me out of this mess. I never expected an attorney to take such care and interest in my case. My court appointed told me I should just plead out to a 3rd degree felony because I could not win. Toni won my case for me.

Beyond my expectations

Toni I would like to thank you for all of your hard work and help. I thought for sure the 2 DWI would stay on my record and my license would get suspended but to my suprise you got my case dismissed and you won my ALR hearing! I owe you so much more. My past experience with attorneys was not very ple...asant. Not all attorneys fight for their clients. Thank You and GB.

Litigation lawyer | Jan 17

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Do not let her quiet demeanor fool you, because this lawyer is a fighter well versed in the law who gives no quarter. Understated and soft spoken, opponents learn quickly she has the skills and persuasion to win her argument."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer.without hesitation. I have been practicing for over 30 years and I have seldom encountered the level of professionalism displayed by Toni Sharretts in what was a very difficult matter. She is wise in the practice of law, a rare quality. She is tenacious, up to date on the intricacies of the law, and procedurally very knowledgeable. Her zeal at defending her client's interests is to be commended, but her tempering the zeal with intelligence and understanding of the matter is exceptional."
