Donald Herbert Flanary III's Lawyer Endorsements
"Don is one of the best lawyers in the State of Texas. This distinction probably ranks him among the best criminal defense attorneys in the country. He is a relentless advocate with a spirited mind. Don is the lawyer lawyers call when they need help."
"Flanary, one word = relentless. You want a scrapper, he is relentless in his pursuit of justice. Whether opposition wears a robe, a county badge or shield, Don bars none. Especially, if they fail to maintain their integrity. The Cat lives for the danger."
"Don is one of my closest friends, mentors, and colleagues. I cannot begin to describe the respect and admiration I have for him. He has tenacity that is unmatched, a savant-like creativity, and a wide background of experience and knowledge of criminal law. He has been trained by the best and is a lawyer in his prime. Don is destined for great things and has accomplished great things already. I look forward to working closely with him for years to come."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I've seen Don present at several seminars and have approached him for advice on many occasions. He's a brilliant attorney who knows how to win."
"Flanary's a badass. One of the two best First Amendment defense lawyers in Texas."
"I endorse Donald. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Excellent Lawyer. I wish I had Don's legal mind. A Warrior for his client's. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Don is an outstanding attorney with a great reputation within the Criminal Defense Bar"
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Don is a well-respected attorney at a well-respected firm. I do not hesitate recommending that people seeking a criminal defense attorney contact Don."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Don since we were in Law School at St. Mary's. Recently we have collaborated on several cases and have been able to produce positive results for our clients. In many ways Don and his peers at Goldstein, Goldstein & Hilley have revolutionized the way I practice criminal law and as a result my case strategy is all about leaving no stone unturned and about being proactive and having the prosecution being reactive. I highly recommend Don Flanary for anyone who is looking for a competent criminal defense attorney who will go the distance and get the job done. - George Altgelt, Laredo, Texas."
