His dedication to this area of law is inspiring and his ability to understand and navigate some very serious and complicated issues is second to none.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
John Floyd and I have worked together on a number of very difficult federal criminal cases, white collar crimes, sex crimes, drug crimes, theft cases, and assorted criminal matters in Houston as well as other courts throughout Texas and the United States. The clients have repeatedly told me that they hired John Floyd because he not only has a reputation as one of the preeminent lawyers in Texas and the United States but because they know he truly cares about them and their lives. This is probably why John Floyd has been seen on all the local news channels in Houston, featured as a guest speaker on nationally syndicated news shows, and heard on local as well as international radio shows commenting on criminal matters of interest to the public. Additionally, he has been voted one of the top criminal defense lawyers in Houston by H Texas magazine and numerous people go to his website www.johntfloyd.com for commentary on the latest criminal cases around the world.
