Outstanding Attorney

From the start of the case to the end of the case , Mr. Bloomquist stood in place for me which lifted the weight and worry of being incarcerated off my shoulders . I got results in a timely fashion. I believe his expertise as an ex prosecutor really helps, along with his experience as an attorn...ey . I had a misdemeanor theft charge while on probation which kicked me into an MTR . He was able to get the misdemeanor theft charge thrown out and get me a satellite bond on the MTR, and also get the MTR remanded. now my life is back to normal . I recommend him 100%.

Attorney

Consulted with Mr. Bloomquist on many criminal cases. He is the pre eminent criminal defense attorney in Central Texas. He has over 100 jury trials under his belt and a lifetime of experience to help any person in need. Highly recommend.

Larry came through for me, every step of the way.

Larry handled my case from the moment it was handed off by Texas Law Shield to a local lawyer (him). He explained the process we would likely go through, he was clear about what was going to happen each time we had to go to court. He presented the DA's offer fairly but was clear that he felt my c...ase was one we could make at trial if we had to. The DA's office dragged it out over fully three years, before finally dropping all charges when they realized they had no case (something Larry had spelt out to them time and again) the day it would have gone to trial. Larry answered my questions, made sure he knew me, knew what had occurred and did his level best to have the DA's office actually look at the evidence and why there was no question we'd be asserting self-defence and almost certainly convincing a jury of it (you can never be *quite* sure of those juries ..). In short, if I had to go through it all again, god forbid, I would want Larry there for me.

I was falsely accused but Mr. Bloomquist got my case dismissed!

After being served with paperwork for something I was falsely accused of, I was a nervous wreck! I was so worried and anxious since I had never been charged with anything before. But after that first phone conversation with Mr. Bloomquist, I was immediately put as ease. His 20+ years of knowledge and... experience really speaks for itself! He did not let the DA office continue to postpone the court hearing and after indicating to them that the evidence we had supported my innocence and confirmed I was falsely accused, the charges were dropped! I am beyond grateful to have an amazing attorney represent me and thankful that Mr. Bloomquist was able to get the charges dismissed. If you are needing a criminal defense attorney, my recommendation is ONLY Mr. Bloomquist!

Unlawful Carry

Mr Bloomquist saved the day for me. I hired him in November to handle my case for unlawful carry, he came very highly recommended and he held up to his reputation. He worked very hard for me in helping understand my situation and was on point thru my whole ordeal. He had my case dismissed and I feel ...very confident in referring him to anyone who needs legal representation. Thank you very much Larry.
