I strongly recommend Mr. Scheiner for all criminal issues. We had to deal with the unfair consequences of a teenager’s irresponsible actions. When a loved one is involved in such difficult situation, it is a huge relief to know that you can actually rely on someone. Mr. Scheiner’s experience, patience, and true dedication helped me and my family overcome the most difficult situation we have ever been exposed to.
When I was arrested for a DWI case in February 2016, my blood result was at .130 with an accident involved.
I am very fortunate that the Scheiner Law Group was not only able to successfully win my ALR hearing but completely get my case DISMISSED.
Prior to speaking with Mr. Scheiner and Mr. Ceja I felt crushed and disappointed. It wasn't until after my initial meeting with SLG that I was able to feel optimistic about my case as they were very sensitive towards my situation. SLG was extremely informative and detailed oriented throughout the entire process.
This firm truly cares about helping people and are committed to every case and will work hard for everyone.
In addition, they are also devoted to assist with loved ones. My boyfriend was completely overwhelmed and had no idea what to do or how to help me when I was arrested. After speaking with “SLG” they made him feel at ease and helped direct him on the process of posting bail.
I can’t thank the attorneys and their staff enough for all the help they provided. Scheiner Law Group is the firm that I will always recommend. THANK YOU!

When my child was facing very serious charges, I knew that I needed an experienced attorney. It was so refreshing to work with Scheiner Law Group because Grant Scheiner and his Associates took the time to research and understand the facts of the case in order to provide the best defense ever. The outcome was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend Scheiner Law Group.

Best attorneys
I was wrongfully accused and arrested for Continuous Family Violence, as well as 3 other misdemeanor charges. I spent a night in jail not understanding why I had been arrested! I felt hopeless and humiliated and didn’t know where to turn. Full of anguish, I worried about what would become of me and my children if I was convicted. After I was finally released, I found out that my soon-do-be ex was lying to the authorities and seemed to be on a mission to destroy my life at all cost.
Thankfully, I found The Scheiner Law Group P.C. At a time when I was at my lowest, they gave me hope that I could beat the charges against me. Grant Scheiner and Will Vaughn gave me my life back. They advised me the whole way of what would be happening and helped prepare me for trial. They were available to answer questions and kept me in the loop the entire time. Grant Scheiner and will Vaughn were very dedicated to clearing my name and really believed in me. The entire group went the extra mile to get proof of my innocence and turned what could have been a 2 to 10 year prison sentence, into a not guilty verdict. I am very happy and thankful to have my freedom and glad my children will be able to grow up with their father. I can not recommend this law firm highly enough. There’s a reason they are one of the top law firms in Houston!!

DUI case
Scheiner law firm took on our case as a misdemeanor. Our case was upgraded to a felony and they worked hard to get a PTI which allowed us to get the case dismissed once the terms were completed. We are working on getting the cases expunged so we can move forward and put this behind us. Will and Grant are fantastic lawyers and were very informative of options and issues with the cases. They were honest and direct about setbacks but worked very hard to get us where we are today. We are very appreciative of everything they’ve done.

Best decision I ever made was to hire Scheiner Law!
Unfortunately, two years ago I left happy hour and was driving home and got into a fender bender going 20 mph in rush hour traffic. The officer on scene stated he smelled alcohol on my breath. I wasn’t sure how this was as I was completely bundled up and I had my scarf over my mouth (it was February and cold). I refused a breathalyzer and was taken into the station. I knew I immediately needed a good lawyer and after some research I called Scheiner Law Group.
It took a year and a half to get my case settled (courts were backed up because of hurricane Harvey and then the pandemic), but I was always kept in the loop. I only made one appearance where Will Vaughn notified the court of my representation. After that day, Will and team took care of everything. I did have to enter the PTI program (due to my previous record 7 years ago that was not alcohol related) but only had to be in that program for 6 months, which is the shortest time possible. Promptly at 6 months, my case was dismissed and in two years I will be able to have my arrest expunged from my record. If you are looking for an excellent team, I highly recommend Scheiner Law Group. Great communication, constantly striving to get the best for their clients, and always making the time for you and your case. Best decision I ever made was contacting them!

Kind, Courteous, Professional, and Successful
Scheiner Law Group for when you need legal assistance. It is typically a difficult situation when you need legal advice, but when you are in that difficult situation that requires expertise, Scheiner Law Group is fantastic.
The attorneys, paralegal, and front office were kind, courteous, professional, and more importantly successful experts in addressing my case. They worked with me on a payment plan and did not give me the ‘hard sell’ to bring them on as my legal council. Grant, Will, and the team made me feel comfortable and treated me exceedingly well. They answered my questions by phone and email. They gave me the confidence to continue on with my life, as they worked on my behalf.
My case started at the early part of the COVID-19 pandemic. Life was complicated with court resets and delays. Even though life was complicated and messy during the pandemic, they were still working hard on my behalf through it all. This brought about a dismissal from the court and I could not be happier.
If you are having a rough moment in your life, this is the team you want on your side.

They could not have possibly done any better. They did an awesome job very awesome job. They are very down to earth lawyers, Grant and Will. Me personally I did not think I was going to win in a sense because of the type of situation I had. But Grant and Will made it happen with an non guilty verdict by jury. I had a lot on the line, and even when I get in 50s and 60s. I will always remember them. I would recommend to anyone by far.

Mr. Ceja from Grant's team is responsible, kind and helpful.
Mr. Ceja is patient, sympathetic , professional and trustworthy. Even though he speak in totally serious and objective tone each time, I still feel a little and instinctive encouragement in his words, which ultimately make my case dismiss.

Consultation Review
Mr. Scheiner was extremely helpful in providing advice to my situation. He was patient, took the time to explain his opinion and gave alternatives to my situation even though I did not require his services as of yet. Although I haven't had the chance to hire Mr. Scheiner, this positive first impression will definitely be in my mind if I do. Highly recommended!

DWI Review
I was arrested for a DWI in Harris county, TX. The charge was a 0.174 BAC, in March 2014.
Grant Scheiner and Jose Ceja were able to win my ALR case with the DPS and also ensured that my license was never dismissed all through the trial period, consequently I never lost my driving privileges, Finally and very crucially for my DWI case they got me a NOT GUILTY verdict after a Jury trial.
They worked tirelessly to gather the facts of the case and they were able to prove to the jury that my case should be returned with a verdict of NOT GUILTY.
They were courteous , professional and humane all through my trial process , matter of fact I couldn't have asked for any better.
I would recommend Grant and Jose to anyone who has been charged with this very serious and potentially life shattering charge of a DWI, to give you a chance of fighting your case within legal limits and getting you a shot at getting your life back on track.

Takes care of his clients like they were family
Over the past few years I have referred several clients to Mr. Scheiner. Those clients have told me that he goes over and above for them and that he treats them like family. I am always impressed by the results Mr. Scheiner gets for my clients. If my son or daughter were in trouble, Grant Scheiner is the first person I would call.

DWI DISMISSED
I was arrested for a DWI. I was asked to blow into the breathalyzer and I did. I asked for the results and the officer would not tell me. A few minutes later, the officer came back to the car and asked me again to blow and I said that I already did. He said that I refused the breathalyzer and took me to jail. I also lost my license at that time as well. I had just moved to the Houston area to go to school and I did not know anyone in Houston. My family found Grant Scheiner and I made an appointment with him. I explained my case and he made me feel very confident that he was on my side. I retained his office to represent me. Mr. Scheiner and Jose Ceja (also a lawyer in Mr. Scheiner's office) teamed up on my behalf .My case was DISMISSED! I was very appreciative and relieved. The entire staff was very attentive. If I called with a question and asked to have Mr. Scheiner or Mr. Ceja return my call....they ALWAYS called me back. I felt very fortunate to have found this law firm.

excellent, knowledgeable and passionate
I recently called Grant Scheiner for a second opinion and could not believe what an incredible man he is. I called him on two separate occasions and he promptly returned my calls. When you speak to him, you can tell he is listening to you and you can hear the passion in his voice. He truly cares about helping people and is committed to preparing the best defense for them. You need to be careful and hire an attorney with experience and knows what he is doing. I made the mistake of going to a different attorney and now I feel that my son’s case was not handled properly. When I called Grant for advice, he possessed so much knowledge, he was giving me advice on how to handle the case that I in turn was giving my attorney and Grant wasn’t even my attorney. These were things my own attorney should have known. I did hire Mr. Scheiner and he was able to resolve a travel issue we had in one phone call. I now consider Mr. Scheiner our family attorney and would highly recommend him to everyone.

He's the BEST
The Scheiner law firm literally saved my life. My husband was on the verge of losing his job due to the possibility of going to jail for a DWI. Grant and Matt were there and never left our side. They did everything in their power to ensure that my husband did not go to jail. Without Grant and Matt, my husband would have lost his job and I would have lost much more than my husband. The Scheiner law firm TRULY does care about their clients. I will refer Grant and his team as long as they are around.

Grant recently gave a class to West Texas Attorneys in Lubbock on the subject of Cross Examination. His course was excellent.
