Posted by anonymous | November 18, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Lawyer

I hired Mr. Morales after after I consulted with him about my case. He clearly explained he could help in my situation and he followed through and did a excellent job. I explained that my career was on the line and why I needed my case plead down to class b misdemnor from class a misdemeanor dwi, I... had some issues with a previous lawyer I hired before I reached out to Mr Morales for help, since I felt the previous lawyer wasn't professional or wasn't getting anything done I've waited more than a year and half for the previous lawyer to come back and say they weren't able to get it reduced or get any type of plea deal but Mr. Morales did in less than a month. I feel good spending my money with his law firm, there professional and will always stay in touch, If you have any doubts about your case they will meet with you and let you know what options you have.

Highly recommend Morales!!!

I would highly recommend Morales and his staff very kind & professional. I was on felony probation in Travis county and violated probation with 2 felonies and a misdemeanor in Williamson county Knowing how serious my case was I knew that there was a 99% chance I was going to prison. Morales was a god...send he fought for me like family and saved my future with no prison time and got 2 charges dropped.If facing serious consequences & your freedom is on the line and want a lawyer that is worth the investment Morales is the guy to hire.

A Christian attorney who helped me with more than my case

I came to see Mark and I was in a very low spiritual place. I felt lower than low and completely unworthy. I was humiliated by my actions and dismayed at what it would do for my future. In the initial consultation Mark could see how down I was and actually prayed with me. I can't believe attorneys wh...o love God even exist, but he reminded me that Jesus still loves me and there is always hope. I cried in his office and I still am in awe of that meeting. Thank you Mark for reminding me that I am a child of God and that so long as there is breath in me, there is redemption.

Great Communication

I was referred to this firm by a friend who had her cases dismissed with their help. Mark and Ryan both gave me their cell phone numbers the first time we met, and communication with their clients is a strong point because they answered every text and returned all of my calls within the hour, every t...ime! That is miles different from my last attorney who I could NEVER reach. I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my case, these guys basically saved my career! If you are in need of serious help, definitely call this office!

Mark Morales is the attorney who cares

This was my 3rd DWI and my choices were very slim. Mark fought extremely hard to get me into the DWI/Drug Court program which ultimately saved my life. . He genuinely cared about me and my case and was always available to answer my questions and ease my concerns. He is what I would call..an attorn...ey who really cares about his clients and their future. You could not go wrong with Mark Morales.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mark Morales and his staff are an excellent criminal defense team. As a former prosecutor, Mark Morales knows the right way to tackle a case and where to push for the weak spots. I have worked together with him when cases overlap between his area, criminal defense, and my area, family law. Sometimes, when it rains it pours. I know that when Mark is watching our client on the criminal front that frees me to concentrate on the family law front. His office is very easy to work with and we've managed to achieve great results for our mutual clients in the past. I highly recommend Mark and his team."

  • 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.
