He saved my career.
I recommend attorney Philip Goff to anyone who has a traffic violation in Texas. I had an accident in the Corpus Christi area that could have ended my career as a commercial driver, if it appeared on my record. He saved my driving career by keeping it off my record. Above all, he knows how...

Great attorney
Mr. Goff represented me in my DWI case. He worked fast and took care of my license to not get suspended. He was informative and took the time to understand my story and case.
