Douglas Wayne Atkinson

I'm writing this review on my own accord Not because I was asked to but because I feel it's necessary for people to find a good attorney or stay away from bad ones. God knows my family and I have experienced both but as for this one ( Doug ), I can't say enough about him or the results he gets. M...ind you, he's super busy and it was frustrating at times, but regardless, he took care of the case and got better results than I feel any attorney could have possibly gotten. He was thorough, his price was fair, he's super professional and he knows Texas law in and out. It's important to know however, that in Montgomery County, it's as much as who you know as what you know. Doug is very connected in what I consider one of the toughest counties in the state, if not the country. One where the good ole' boy and wild west reputations definitely do exist. Trust me, I've seen and heard horror stories about MANY of the lawyers and law enforcement. So God forbid you get arrested or if you have charges against you, especially in Montgomery County, this is your guy. He's the one you want when it comes to defending you and getting the best possible results.

He is topnotch, courteous, professional and quick. His staff Silvia and Shannon are excellent. I had two charges and he got them both dismissed in about 13 days. He asked for 30. He didn't promise the world but he injected confidence to my situation. My family and I are most thankful. Another note on...ce he found out I was a veteran he immediately offered a discount for his work. Thank you sir, I would recommend Ken

I sent over a dozen replies to ALR Attorneys. Got a few calls but they was MORE about their ridiculous and outrageous fees. And didn't even bother to read my "Statement of Facts" I sent. It was ALL about their ARROGANCE and self absorb, self appointed authority , riding on what they perceived to be t...heir high horse. But I clearly saw their so called "high horse" was a mere miniature horse. Not even on the stature of a Shetland pony. Plus they was all about hype and fear. THEN, Mr. Atkinson called me on a Sunday evening from his cell phone. First thing I asked him was "did you read my statement". Without hesitation he quoted it almost word by word and captured all points I made. I knew right away Mr. Atkinson was worth listening too. Not because he agreed with my statement, (even though he did) nor was I expecting him too. I simply wanted to know if an Attorney wanting me to retained him. Would be humble and smart enough to listen and consider my point of view. Mr. Atkinson legal opinion of my case was as matter of fact. Rather than over hype or fear base tactics to get my retainer. I chose Mr, Atkinson over another Attorney willing to take less money, but was not forthright in telling me. Fee quoted would only be for telephone hearing rather than live hearing. Mr. Atkinson was forthright and why he advised me live hearing would be more advantageous. His Paralegal, Ms. Sylvia Flores is the "standard" of attention to detail. That is so important in legal representation. Ms. Fores answered my questions without coming across as "you are taking up my precious time". As you may find in many attorney firms. NOW, for the best! Not only did Mr. Atkinson WIN my ALR case, preventing the suspension of my drivers license for 6 months. He got an dismissal of case 10 days BEFORE the schedule hearing! If you want to win, go with a WINNER!

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am to Doug and his staff. He truly pulled a rabbit out of his hat on my case. The best I was expecting was one year probation, a fine + court costs, an Interlock on my vehicle, community service, monthly urine test, AA classes, DWI Impact class. With two p...riors on my record, and facing a 2nd DWI, he was able to get it reduced to the 1st DWI penalty. Then at sentencing, he was able to get it reduced again to only a fine + court costs! No probation, no Interlock, no community service, no classes, (each of which has monthly fees)! The results were excellent! I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney.

Doug and Matthew exceeded my expectations with my case and was able to deliver the best possible outcome.. Because of his wealth of experience and knowledge of how to work the system, Doug worked out a positive outcome to a perilous case in which I could have received a variety of punishments. What D...oug was able to do made hiring him well worth it. Have no doubt that you will receive the best care when hiring this firm. His office staff is also very friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful.
