Review

I paid this man up front and he did nothing for me. Just showed up looking like he had slept in his suit and hadn't even reviewed the information for my case as he still had to go see the D.A. in the courtroom. Huge, waste of space, I mean gigantic. If you like throwing away your money go for i...t. Read after the fact, he has been punished before for stealing clients money. I guess those are the ones he didn't show up in court for. When he does it is the same thing.

Great Knowledgeable attorney

I recently hired this attorney and he was so much more reasonable that other attorney's I contacted. He let me make payment arrangements which really helped me to be able to afford an attorney. I felt that he would be great at handling my case and he proved that he could do it; was very confident ...in the court room, returned all my phone calls and kept me informed on what to expect in court. He is a most excellent attorney and I am very glad that I hired him.

Top attorney

I was arrested for assault. I contacted Mr. Don Becker who I found to be very knowledgeable about the assistance I needed for my case. He was responsive to my questions and kept me informed throughout my case as to what would be happening. More so, I found him to be trustworthy and ready to go t...o court. I would recommend Don to anyone needing a straight forward, intelligent lawyer.

Bankrupt attorney

This guy represented me a while back. I tried to call him about problems with my case. All his numbers failed to accept a message. An attorney answered one number. He was evasive about Becker's contact information and tried to get me to hire him. I searched his home and office. The home appea...red vacant with notices posted indicating that the County is suing for property taxes. The office on North Loop West is closed. Found another office listed for him. Becker could not be located.

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.
