I've been interested in criminal law since working as a police dispatcher during high school. To me, criminal law has always felt the most like real law, because of the impact it has on real people. I enjoy spending my time in a courtroom, and I live to argue. I've served as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney, so I understand criminal law from both sides of the table.
I place a premium on placing my client's in the best situation to resolve their issues. I will counsel you every step of the way, and you will know you're getting the best possible resolution to your problem.

Very satisfied with my experience with Nick Poehl, very responsive, and always punctual. I highly recommend him.

I recently contacted Mr. Poehl regarding a DUI 1st (and only) conviction from years ago that an attorney completely UNaffiliated with Nicholas Poehl's practice handled back in 2013. I had failed to receive, from my previous attorney, the Order of Interlock Removal signed by the Judge in Harris County...

My case was dismissed! My attorney took call after call from me week after week, I was a nervous wreck while my case was pending, but Nick kept me grounded and didn't let me settle for less then a dismissal!
Thank you for the review! It was a pleasure to help you!

Nobody likes the idea of having to hire a defense lawyer, but if you need to, THIS IS WHO YOU NEED. Mr Poehl was very personable and knowledgeable. He kept me informed and was at my disposal at all times. Turned a seemingly hopeless situation around for me. I'm grateful for all the hard work that ...

Great lawyer did his job I couldn't have asked for more
"I worked with Nick while we were both prosecutors. Any criminal defendant would be will served by Nick's unique insight, extensive experience and devotion to criminal justice."
"I endorse this lawyer without reservation. Nicholas "Nick" Poehl is a zealous advocate for his clients. Any defendant that hires him can rest assured that their constitutional rights are well defended."
"Mr. Nicholas is a highly skilled, diligent and knowledgeable attorney who is well-known in the legal community for his outstanding professionalism. He was able to obtain satisfactory results even for clients whose cases were incredibly difficult by dedicating his time and effort to achieve the best results. I certainly endorse this lawyer and have no doubt he will be of great help to anyone seeking legal advice or representation within his main areas of practice."
"I've known Nick for several years now. I cannot think of a lawyer who is more dedicated to his clients than Nick. If you are facing criminal charges in Galveston County, you would do well to have Nick on your side."
"Nicholas is a very skilled lawyer who I have seen achieve some pretty remarkable results over the years. Nick is not afraid to stand up and defend his clients even when faced with pretty challenging courts and ADAs. There is a reason I call the man "Not Guilty Nicky"....he has earned it. If I were to find myself or a family member in a bind, I would not hesitate to call Nick."
"I endorse this lawyer without reservation. I've handled cases against Nick when I was a prosecutor, as fellow defense attorneys, as well as trying cases together. Nick is very intelligent and quick on his feet, both very useful skills in the court room. He is compassionate about his clients, and the numerous positive results show that. Nick is quite simply a great lawyer and an asset to the defense bar."
"Nick Poehl is quite simply a fighter. When I was a prosecutor, I didn't enjoy my cases against Mr. Poehl. He constantly found holes in the police work when I mistakenly thought it was solid. He always protected his clients rights. I also had the privilege of trying several cases against Mr. Poehl and both the juries and judges love him. He is a well-respected member of the defense bar by fellow private practitioners and prosecutors alike. I wouldn't hesitate to send my friends and family to Mr. Poehl if they were to make a mistake requiring his services. I fully endorse this lawyer and am honored to be a part of the defense bar with him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Nick is a great litigator and a solid resource on all areas of criminal defense. He has a solid academic and litigation background - and wins difficult cases! His personality and perseverance are unparalleled. I've worked with him representing co-defendants and we've also had cases as opposing counsel. I would recommend Nick without hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Great mind, passionate about protecting his client's rights, and an excellent communicator. I highly recommend Mr. Poehl."
"Nick is an awesome attorney who gets amazing results for his criminal clients. He can guide anyone accused of a crime through the process and make life as simple as possible given the often difficult circumstances."
