Posted by John | February 27, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

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.

Mr. Bloomquist marvelously defended me against wrongful accusations

Larry Dean Bloomquist is an amazing attorney! I was being falsely accused for something I did not do. During the whole ordeal, Mr. Bloomquist made me feel very at ease and calm with the situation. I was extremely anxious but during the consultation, he listened to me and thoroughly examined the evide...nce I had. He did not let the DA keep postponing my court date and was able to get the charges dismissed/dropped. I would highly recommend Mr. Bloomquist! He’s the type of lawyer you want on your side!

Best defense lawyer in Texas!

WOW!! Where do I begin? I first hired Mr. Bloomquist back in Dec of 2012 concerning a false allegation of assault. After hearing the facts of my case Mr. Bloomquist persuaded the police and the district attorney's office that I could not of committed this crime based off the facts of the case and mad...e it clear that we were going to see the case through without any plea bargains. Within a month my case was closed due to unable to determine and insufficient evidence. Within a year the US Air Force OSI investigators got involved due the fact that the alleged victim changed her story and said that the assault took place on a military base which prompted a government investigation. Mr. Bloomquist again aggressively argued that the evidence was opinion and not facts which wasn't valid for a arrest and that we would again not accept any plea deals. In June of 2015, CPS, the city police department and Air Force OSI had collaborated their case files together and I was charged with a felony within the county. During this difficult 26 month ordeal, Mr. Bloomquist did extensive and thorough work on my case, interview witness, answered questions, talked to the DA's office, researched, and made himself available to me when I needed him. After three plea deal rejections and outstanding trial preparation, the prosecution dismissed their case against me three days before trial! I strongly believe that this wouldn't of been possible without Mr. Bloomquist's hard work and expertise of Criminal Law which could of resulted in me spending decades in prison for a crime that I didn't commit. I hope and pray that he continues to fight for people like me in today's shady legal system. Thanks again Mr. Bloomquist!

A fantastic, tremendous, successful experience!

Mr. Bloomquist (Larry) is an honest trustworthy and terrific lawyer. He is highly professional, patient, kind and long suffering; and he was successful in having my case dismissed. He was always easy to get in touch with and ready to provide a sincere, genuine update on the status of my case. He ...thoroughly explained the court process and always took the time to answer any questions I had. Throughout thIs close to three year ordeal he remained confident that he would provide me with an excellent outcome that I would be pleased with and the outcome of the case and he delivered the an outcome which were far exceeded my expectations. I can't stop saying enough about the wonderful job he performed on my case. He is not only a fantastic lawyer, but a generally nice person to deal with who has also become a good friend to me and my wife as welI. I would highly recommend Mr. Bloomquist to anyone who is searching for a lawyer who will do an outstanding job; 5 out of 5 stars. Thank you so much Larry. I'll never forget and sincerely appreciate the fine job and successful outcome you acheived on my case.

Great representation for my son!

My family went through a difficult time after a divorce. My son had difficulties during this time and got arrested. We called Mr. Bloomquist and he met with us right away on a Sunday. On our first meeting he told us what to expect and listened to our side of the case. The judicial system took over a ...year and a half to go to trial. During the whole time Mr. Bloomquist kept us up to date and was present for all court appearances. His persistence as our attorney ended with all charges being dropped against my son. I highly recommend Mr. Bloomquist.
