Criminal defense attorney Paul Tu

My son got into some legal issues, where he was arrested and booked into Forth Bend Harris County Jail on two charges. Mr. Tu was my son’s attorney and represented him from start of the case to finish. Mr. Tu was aware that my son suffered from severe mental health issues. Mr. Tu showed compassion a...nd patients as he worked diligently with my family. He was very polite and very knowledgeable in his profession. His communication was consistent, timely and accurate via emails and telephone calls. He worked diligently with the judicial system fighting in court for my son. Mr. Tu was able to get the two charges dismissed. Mr. Tu we would like to thank you for working with us and working hard with the criminal justice court system to get my son cases dismissed and release from Forth Bend Harris County Jail. You are an excellent attorney and have great customer service skills and I would recommend you as an attorney to anyone.

Thank you for the kind review. I believe citizens with mental health problems should not be criminalized and jailed, if their mental health contributed to their actions. Justice reform is coming to Ft Bend County, and I'm glad to help push for it.

The New "DREAM TEAM"

Paul showed up for all my court settings on time. I find Paul to be very friendly and truly concerned about me and my situation. He kept me informed so I knew exactly what to expect, which means he took time with me and didn't just collect and rush off.. He is obviously a very skilled lawyer as well ...as knowing the Law. CASE DISMISSED, Need I say more? Thanks Paul
