10 out of 10!!!

Trey Porter is the best DWI Lawyer in Texas! I hired Trey for a DWI 2nd charge. My first one was 20 years ago when I was in college … so this felt like the first. My work knew about this arrest, and my boss told me if I was convicted I’d be fired. So extra pressure for sure. Trey worked h...ard and got my DWI dismissed. I couldn’t believe it and I’m so incredibly thankful. Great lawyer and the office team are exceptional as well. 10 out of 10!

Best DUI Lawyer in TX!

Trey Porter is a Texas DUI Lawyer that gets cases dismissed. He got my case dismissed. I’m thankful, my family is grateful. Porter was highly recommended and did not disappoint. The whole TPL is first class — excellent. I recommend Attorney Trey Porter for all DUI cases. FIVE STARS!

Exceptional. Best DWI Lawyer ✅

Honestly great experience. I always expect 5-star service and I got it. Real-time communication, friendly AND helpful for 7 months of representation. I came to Trey Porter at the lowest point in my life. He was clear about the challenges. Clear about the game plan. And I am grateful for his h...ard work: my DWI and gun carry charge were dismissed. Thank you Mr. Porter and team TPL — 10/10.

THE BEST DUI attorney in Texas ⭐️

Trey Porter is the best DWI Lawyer in Texas. 5 stars aren’t enough. Thank you Mr. Porter and everyone in the office. First DWI. First ever arrest. No margin of error for me: dismissal or lose my security clearance. I hired Trey Porter Law Firm to make it happen and they made it happen!

Great TX Lawyer!!

I hired Trey Porter for a Public Intoxication charge I received at airport in Texas. Porter’s office was confident and really compassionate from Day 1. I didn’t feel judged for anything. 3’mo later case is dismissed and I don’t even go to court. Thank you MR Trey Porter! I recommend this lawyer f...or ALL intoxication arrests!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
