Bristol is hands down the best attorney in Austin Texas!

Thursday, April 16, 2015 Mr. Myers, I'm writing this letter to formally thank you for representing me. When I came to you; I was 3 plus years into a case that felt like it would never end, I had what I thought was the best legal representation but learned very quickly that wasn’t the case. ...I cannot thank you enough for meeting with me and taking my case over. I quickly learned my former attorney did little to nothing on the matter. Let me not go without saying you took this case knowing you had to be ready for trial in 30 days. You were kind and worked with me on a fee payment that was reasonable. Because of your thorough and relentless advocacy, of taking my case I had fast results that led to the case being dismissed! I want to thank you for your education, and guidance, for your understanding, your interest in me, your belief that I was worth being your client. You always stayed in contact with me to keep me up to date on the most current information in regards to my case, which is praise for your legal skills - but you made an impression on me that softened the stress and encouraged me to stand up for the truth. I am a stronger, better person - optimistic and confident because you were my attorney, and finally feel like my voice was heard. Most of all the day I got the call it was being dismissed. I broke down into tears of joy. This has been so hard on my family. Because of you; my husband and I have our life back. I am so thankful to you for this. Sincerely, Jennifer

A Great Lawyer

Bristol Myers was a great lawyer. From day one he informed me of all my options and steps I would need to take for each one. He was honest, direct and sensitive to my situation. He gave his advise and got me a great deal. I would recommend his services to anyone in my shoes.

Case Dismissed

Bristol was able to get my case dismissed! He was much more affordable than Bruce Fox, and on top of that he was very personal, he even remembered my birthday. He kept me informed on all the legal proceedings and if there was ever a change in court dates he notified me right away.

DUI...Gone!

Bristol saved me an incredible amount of time and money. He successfuly got my DUI case reduced to an obstruction of passage! He did not accept any deal until my case was reduced and i was satisfied. Very professional and informative.I would reccomend anyone with a DWI /DUI case on there hands to giv...e him a call. He'll get the job done!

Top notch proffessional

Mr. Myers is one great attorney who knows his way around. He is confident and will let you know what to expect. He got me out of a jam that I had no idea I would prevail. Honest and REAL!

"Bristol Myers worked for my firm when he began his legal career and I am so happy to endorse him today. Bristol is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. Bristol is big on detail and preparation and he can see through the thinly veiled lies that come from the witness stand in so many criminal cases. Bristol has made me proud of his accomplishments since he set out on his own and he has served his clients well. I recommend Bristol not only as a friend but because he represents our profession well. Bristol is a former DWI Dude warrior and I am glad to call him my friend. Hopefully we will work together on another case sooner than later."

"I endorse this lawyer. Bristol is an amazing lawyer. Simply put, if I were in trouble in Austin I would want Bristol Myers working on my case. He is tenacious and effective in all phases of his practice. He is a zealous advocate and has an AMAZING track record for success in trial. My goal is to be as accomplished as Bristol has been as a defense attorney. He is one of the few attorneys I know that has ONLY been a defense attorney while also obtaining board certification. This is very rare and I hope I can do the same when I am eligible."
