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!!

BEWARE OF DON BECKER

BEWARE OF DON BECKER BEWARE of DON D. BECKER 4-08-09 He was given money to represent me on a matter of child support regarding non payments. He didn't ever file nor has he to this day. Then I contacted him on antoher mattier because my son was not returned from Spring Break from his visit with his... father. Don Becker was supposed to file contempt of court. It has been almost 3 weeks since my son was in school and still he has not filed the paperwork. Don't waste your time with him find a REAL attorney that cares. I am reporting him to the State Bar for not doing his job.

The Best

I was arrested for stealing a car. A friend of mine had let me drive his car. Told police he did not know me or anything about the car. Don Becker worked hard on my case. It was dismissed the day we went to court. He was trust worthy, kept me informed, He made me feel like my case mattered to ...him and I was just not a number.

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.
