Second Probation Violation w/ MTAG

I retained Jeff to represent me in a criminal case and it was the best thing I could of done. He's extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything about my case and all of the possible outcomes. If ever I had a question or concern, He or Darla (who is incredible herself) always had th...e time to address them. The outcome to my case was better than I could of ever expected thanks to Jeff's expertise and solid advice. I would encourage anyone who needs excellent representation for a criminal charge to contact and speak with Jeff. If I ever need anyone to represent me in the future it will definitely be Mr. Gilbert.

Excellent Attorney

We Believe! That is in the Law Offices of Jeff Gilbert. In this family’s opinion, we are convinced that we could not have landed up with a better law firm to represent us in our case. The firm knows the law, the legal system in place in Brazoria and the surrounding counties. They schedule an init...ial interview and do an in depth discussion on your issues explaining exactly where you stand, what you can expect and the best way to proceed from this point in time. They explain the do’s and don’ts and the ramifications of each action. There were no false promises. Very importantly, they know how and when to proceed on your issue. The law firm staff was always courteous, pleasant and easy to work with. They are very good at assisting you with your input to the case information needed which made it a whole lot easier. They were always glad to hear from you when you wanted to know how things were proceeding or needed some advice. We were so fortunate to have found this law firm. We feel we could not have been represented any better and were very pleased with the outcome. When it comes to law firms, you hear this and that but when it comes right down to it, you have to decide who is best for you. It could very well be in your best interest to at least come in for an initial interview. There was no pressure to choose them but we are thankful we did. Best of luck to you that need help.

It was a pleasure representing you. Thank you so much for the kind words. My staff works together on behalf of all of our clients and this case offered particular challenges. You and we met them head on. Thank you for trusting us in our plan and strategy. You have been facing extraordinary challenges personally along the way. Thank you for staying strong. We continue to pray for you and your family. JRG

Jeff was able to help me, pro bono in a recent case. He was very knowledgable, attentive to my needs and quick to follow up on my requests. I trust Jeff 100% and would return to him if needed.
