An attorney that stands for intregrity

This man is what all criminal defense attorneys should inspire to be. He treats your case like it is his top priority. He is honest, tells you exactly what you are facing and works with you to achieve the outcome that you are looking for. He works with you on payments, returns calls, and his kn...owledge of the law, is exceptional. I was glad I hired him. I was found not guilty. Mr. Becker is the one to use, should you need the best in a criminal defense attorney.

Miracle Worker!! Saved My Brother!

My brother got 2 felony drug possession charges in a drug-free zone (which means he would have to do 5 years flat before he could get out of prison) I called Don Becker & explained to him what happen & he was very confident he could get them down to misdemeanors. So while my brother was out on bond h...e got arrested for 3 more felonies 5 months later! He was charged w/robbery, aggravated assault w/a deadly weapon, & felon in possession of weapon. My brother already having a previous felony conviction and 12 other arrest on his record was looking @ 25 years to life! Don stayed on the case & kept me informed all the way he let me know what my brothers chances were if we went to trial & what a jury might & might not do but ultimately let me & my brother know we were the bosses. On the day Don went to get my brother a bond he ended up getting the state to come to a very reasonable plea agreement w/my brother. He was very knowledgeable on the case you could tell he knew what he was talking about & that he had did his homework on the case. He got the state to dismiss the 2 drug possession charges & the aggravated assault w/deadly weapon charge. My brother ended up signing for robbery & felon in possession of a weapon. Don got the best deal possible for someone like my brother who already had such a extensive record. Me & my brother are both so grateful to Don for all his help. I highly recommend Don!!

I was amazed

This attorney saved my life. I cannot say enough good things about him. Sometimes we all fall short of our expectations. Getting back up and fighting for your life is a very scary thing. This man fought for me. When I was at the worst point of my life, he made me have the strength to stand up f...or myself. He was all of these things trustworthy, reponsive, knowlegeable and he kept me very well informed. If you ever need someone to believe in, give him a call. I trusted in him, what he said he could do for me. He most certainly did that and more. I am forever grateful to this man.

Client Review

I was arrested on DWI charges. I never drink and drive but, did this time. Don worked hard for me to get the lesser of probation that I could receive. After listening to what other people where receiving for the same charges; I was indebted to Don for his diligent work. I could have received a m...uch harder sentence. Don also got me going along the right track and never wanting to do anything this stupid again. If you need excellent representation give Don Becker a call. The office staff in this firm are equally exceptional.

Wonderful Attorney

I hired Don Becker after being arrested for fraud. His knowledge and expertise of the law helped the Judge to drop the charges before going to trial. He kept me informed all through out the process. His office staff were curtious and very efficient. I recommend this law firm to anyone seeking gre...at legal services.
