Craig Monroe Greaves

I hired Mr, Greaves to handle my charge of Driving While Intoxicated. Despite the fact that a jury heard evidence that the Intoxilyzer 5000 showed my breath test sample to be over twice the legal limit (0.19 BAC), Mr. Greaves was able convince the jury that these results were not accurate and shoul...d be ignored. This resulted in the jury returning a verdict of NOT GUILTY! Mr Greaves is a great trial lawyer and has a commanding presence in the courtroom. However, he never comes off as rude or arrogant, which makes jurors really like him and listen to him.

First, he is completely impossible to get in touch with. The only people you will ever be able to speak with are the legal assistants at his office. They are generally uninformed, and will give you the run around. My trial date kept getting pushed back and back with no attempt at a settlement without... going to trial. Finally, at 8 PM the night before my 6th scheduled hearing, he called me with an offer. I was given a whopping 12 hours to decide between options that I didn't understand. On top of this, Mr. Greaves personally lied to me on multiple accounts while representing me. The option he tried to steer me towards turned out to be nothing like how it was presented to me. He told me it would be 6 months in a minimum security facility, and that they would have me there within a week. What he failed to tell me was that my 6 months didn't start until I got there, and it ended up taking almost 4 months to get there. He also flat out lied to me by telling me that state jail(my other option) didn't offer good time, and they actually happen to offer 20% good time. So if I had taken that option, I would have been out in under 5 months, but thanks to his gross negligence I ended up doing closer to 10 months in a treatment facility that I didn't need. Once I was locked up, he stopped returning my family's phone calls, and made no effort to expedite me through the system. I strongly advise against getting this lawyer to represent you unless you want to get your own taste of malpractice and negligence.

Our daughter got into some trouble (DWI) while at Texas A&M, and we are so glad we picked Mr. Greaves to represent her. At our initial consultation he was very kind, understanding and knowledgeable. A few other lawyers that we we met with only seemed concerned with getting their paycheck, while Mr. G...reaves seemed to truly care about our daughter's future. His fees are very reasonable and he has a lot of experience under his belt. We ended up going to trial, and got a not guilty! Couldn't be happier! I recommend Mr. Greaves to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney!!!
