I wish I would have gotten another lawyer

I hired Mrs. Botts under the recomendattion of a family friend to defend me in a felony charge I received. I can honestly say that she made it seem as if she didn't care about me or my future. After my court dates kept getting pushed back the finally gave me a plea offer. She told me to take the ple...a offer and said I would not get anything better. Since I have never before been in trouble with the law I thought that she was right and decided to take the offer. Little did I know at that time that I had just gotten a terrible deal. Reality was she just wanted to get my case over with since she already had my money she made it obvious that she was not interested in fighting for me and didn't care about my future. I pretty much paid her just to lecture me and tell me that what I did was bad and that I was stupid for what I did. It was a POS charge by the way. Obviously what I did what was wrong but the reason I hired Mrs. botts was to help me get the best outcome out of the mistake I made. I feel like I would have been better off or the same just going with a court appointed lawyer and not spending my money on someone who did almost nothing at all for me... after getting probation I learned from other people I met while doing community service that had the same charge didn't have to do all of the extra things I had to do or had to pay as many fines or do as many community service hours. For example she didn't even ask for a due date for my NA meeting which even my probation officer said was very unusual and that even a lawyer with a little bit of experience would know to ask a due date of 3 months or so. But no I have been going to NA meetings for 18 months so far which will only meet the end whenever im done with probation. Obviously she knew about this but didn't care to even ask for the due date for this probation requirement. Now that I am eligible for early termination I asked her if she would do my paperwork required and I would even pay her if I have to (most lawyers do it as part of the initial fee you pay them) she told me I would have to pay her extra and after two weeks she told me she was not going to do it because she didn't have time for me. If you are thinking about getting her I would strongly urge you towards choosing another attorney who will put more effort towards fighting for your best interests. If I could give 0 stars I would.

Honest Lawyer that know the law well and will fight for the people.

I had a Burglary of a Habitation charge, I hired Nancy Botts for, she explained the best way of handling the case and protected my rights. I would highly recommend her, because its hard to find a criminal defense lawyer that will fight for you and not just settle for anything. I would highly recommen...d anyone who needs help to call her first. She will take the time to listen and advise you personally, you will be able to speak directly to her not some receptionist. In my case she was able to get all the charges dropped.

Awesome Drug Defense Attorneys

Nancy Botts and Jim Sullivan defended me in Chambers County on a large possession of marihuana case. I got stopped by a DPS Trooper for no good reason. He claimed that I wasn’t wearing a seat belt even though I had been. My insurance and registration was up to date. There was absolutely no good reaso...n to search my car. He didn’t have probable cause, but the cop insisted. I refused consent. He held me at the scene for 45 minutes waiting for a K-9 to come sniff the car. The dog supposedly alerted the cop to a stash in the trunk. They searched it and found a large amount of weed and arrested me. When I posted bond, I searched the web for a good drug defense attorney and found Nancy and Jim. They investigated the cop’s actions and told me that they could probably win the case at a suppression hearing. When I showed up at the trial, the prosecutor backed off and dismissed the case. I was so relieved. I was facing 2 to 10 years in prison. I cannot say enough great things about their representation of me. They were a God send and saved my life. Thank you! If you ever need a good drug defense attorney, I highly recommend them.

Awesome Attorney!!

Nancy represented my spouse on 5 felony drug charges. She is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and was the blessing we needed. We had another attorney for 4 months that was absolutely NO help to us and within 1 months time Nancy was able to give us answers we'd been waiting months to hear. You can depend on... her to be straight forward with you and letting you know exactly what you're facing and she is VERY reasonably priced. There are not enough good words I can say about her. If you need a great criminal attorney, Ms. Nancy Botts is definitely one of the best!
