Worked Wonders for me

I was arrested for selling drugs at a friends house when I went to visit. My uncle hired Don D. Becker to represent me. After much investigation Mr. Becker found that I did not carry any drugs into my friends home. Other people that were there testified that it was my friend and a few others that ...were selling the drugs. I was found not guilty and I will be forever grateful to Mr. Becker. Thank you, Don.

The Talent YOU Need

When my husband was accused of felony possession of a controlled substance, we received numerous flyers and letters from various law firms. I found Don in them and after reading his reviews on various websites I was confident he would be the man to help us. From what other attorneys told us this ...would not be behind us for several months. I was quite surprised when my husband came home and said the case was dismissed after only the 3rd court date! Absolutely, a brillant attorney that knows criminal law. Don't look any further Don is the person for your defense. Don't let lawyer's tell you it takes time, because they will also take your money. Mr. Becker told us from the beginning how much this case would cost, and he stuck with that amount. He was trustworthy, reponsive to all our calls, and kept us informed. These is the kind of attorney and the kind of results you want!

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!!

Don D Becker worth a lot to me

I hired Don D Becker after cocaine was found in my car. I t wasn't much, but it was a felony. I can't have a felony on my record or my career is finished. I spoke with several lawyers who promised me different things, but none seemed interested in talking much to me when I told them I wanted to fig...ht the case to the end. Don D Becker was different. He told me that I was the boss and that he would follow my wishes after I heard his advice. He worked hard on my case and got it dismissed. Because of him, I kept my job and can breathe again. You cant' go wrong with Don D. Becker as your attorney.

Best lawyer in Texas

My family and I have used Don Becker to help us on 4 different cases over the past several years. One case involved possession of cocaine. Don Becker had that case reduced to a misdemeanor and pay a fine, no jail time. Two other cases, both involving drugs, he got dismissed. The last case involved ...assault where the police accused my husband of family violence. That case went to trial and Don Becker got a not guilty. I hope none of us get in any more trouble, but if we do we will call Don D. Becker.
