Case dismissed!

Mr. Zachary Fertitta handled my case gracefully. He was with me every step of the way. Answered phone calls at all hours. If he missed a call he would make sure to get back with me within that day. I was arrested for self defense and had hired a different attorney before Mr. Fertitta who did nothing ...with my case. I was set for trial because the attorney before just let it ride out. Mr. Fertitta built my case up and got it dismissed in Fort Bend County. He is a gentleman, polite and a fantastic attorney. 10/10

I consider him an expert

Mr. Fertitta is a force to be reckoned with. The case was a complex matter involving my business/livelihood and i needed an attorney who would look at the case in a technical manner. We sat down and went over my case and i was delighted when he started asking questions that i had been asking for a wh...ile, which my other defense attorney would not acknowledge or try to work with. This attorneys work gave me my life back. He was very aggressive in court and an overall very easy to talk to and understand..... Definitely hire Mr. Fertitta if you are dealing with a case that needs a very talented / skilled attorney.

HANDLED MY HUSBANDS FEDREAL CASENEVER RETURNED PHONE CALLS DIDNOT OBJECT TO UNTRUE FACTS IN PSI REPORT. IN COURT DID NOT SAY ONE WORD IN MY HUSBANDS DEFENSE JUST LET THE GOV. SAY WHATEVER BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID TO MAKE JUDGE MAD. HAD HIM SIGN A PLEA DEAL THAT WAS NOT IN HIS FAVOR. HE DID INVESTIGATE A...NYTHING HE JUST CAME WITH APLEA DEAL AND HE WAS DONE. MY HUSBAND GOT 18YRS FOR A GUN AND VEST POSSESION. AL THIS DUDE HAD TO SAY WAS I DIDNT WANT TO GO AGAINST THE JUDGE TOO MUCH I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO GET 15.

Use with caution

Mr. Fertitta used to be an ADA and has a hard time removing that hat. He met with me once in his office and when all the so called evidence was in we never met to discuss it. He did not want to look at what I had and did not want to hear what I had to say. He was always late to meet me in court. ...Most of the time it took a very long time to get a return phone call. While I was going through the worst time in my life he acted like it was no big deal. Plus his story would change every time I talked to him. If you want your attorney to cop a plea and not fight for you or listen to you, well then he's your guy.

DUI Dismissed

About six months ago I was pulled over after having a few drinks on Washington. I didn't blow, but obviously I failed the field test. They recorded me. I was charged with DWI. After getting bailed out, that week I went online looking for a criminal defense attorney. I really didn't know how mu...ch it was going to cost or who to call. I called the Ferttita Law Firm as it was listing on Google. I met with Zach and he explained my options. I guess no lawyer can guarantee you will get off, but he thought I had a good case. I went ahead and met with two other DWI lawyers to make sure his cost was in-line. He was the middle of the two, but definitely closer to the higher end. I'm still not exactly sure what all he did (as I referenced in my rating of average for him keeping me informed), but at the end of the day I had everything dropped. Obviously that’s all I really care about. I really didn’t want a DWI/DUI on my record. The only thing I would recommend is if you contact the law firm, to request Zach. I’m not sure how many lawyers work there, but he was who helped me and clearly I’m satisfied.
