Amazing Attorney

I highly recomend, Mr. French is very professional and very quick he got me out of a what would have been a very costly ticket for less than half the price. AMAZING!

Very professional

Mr French was very thorough and professional in his representation of me in my time of legal need. I will definitely seek his services in the future if needed. I would highly recommend Mr French for your legal needs.

Highly recommended

Hired Mr. French on Monday May 6th and by Thursday May 8 he already had the two tickets dismissed. And for a very reasonable fee I should add. He really surprised me with both how quickly he handled it and the final disposition. I highly recommend him.

Professional and Attentive

I hired Charles French for a traffic citation I received in Montgomery county. He was very thorough in explaining the process of fighting the citation and kept me informed each step of the way. My main concern was keeping the ticket off my driving record. According to the citation, I was not eligible... for defensive driving or deferred adjudication. However, Mr. French appeared in court on my behalf and was able to get me deferred adjudication. I was most pleased with the outcome as well as his professionalism and attentiveness to my case. No gimmicks, hassles or unnecessary fees. He was direct and delivered as promised. I would most definitely use Mr. French again and recommend you to do the same!

Criminal defense lawyer | Oct 17

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"When I was the head prosecutor for all of the Montgomery County JP courts, I regularly interacted with Charles French as opposing counsel. He's a tremendously knowledgeable and conscientious attorney who always looks out for his clients. I found him to be a worthy adversary and someone I respect. Now that I'm in private practice, I routinely refer traffic ticket cases from Houston and Harris County to him because I know he will do a great job."

"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Charles for many years, and his knowledge of practically every municipal or justice of the peace court within several hundred miles of Houston is amazing. Charles is smart, knows the law in his field inside and out, and is always professional and courteous. You can't go wrong sending a case, whether a client's or your own, to Mr. French."
