Top Notch Parole Attorney

WE are working with Chris for our son's parole. He is available, quick to answer, and informative. Chris is giving us guidance every step of the way. He's a top notch parole attorney n Austin.

Parole

I hired him for my husbands parole lawyer. He always told us to be patient. He never told me when the parole hiring would be or when he went. He told me stuff I could look up online and find out. The first year he got a set off. He said he would represent him for the next parole hearing. He never co...ntacted me letting me he was in review I found out on line. Never let me know there was another parole hearing during the holidays. I know he wasn't present for. I found out my husband was denied myself. I would never recommend him. I would never suggest you waste your time with him. He just takes your money and does nothing for your loved one.

Great Parole Hearing Attorney

Mr. Charles Dorbandt was my first experience with a lawyer and it could not have turned out better. He was always available to answer my questions, by text or calling. He always made sure I was aware of what was going on with the case (a parole hearing). He was also very supportive and comforting ...when I was anxious or nervous or wanting things to happen faster than they do in the criminal justice system. Thank you just does not seem to cover how grateful I am for his help, support, and work he put into the parole hearing. My friend was granted parole after the first hearing.

An Excellent Criminal (and PI) Attorney - Chris Dorbandt & Associates

With a case that seemed open & shut for the prosecution, Chris worked diligently to get our case resolved with the best results that I never dreamed would be obtained. He's proficient, incredibly hardworking, but most importantly, he's honest...that's right! A lawyer who's honest! Chris was great at... responding back to the family with any questions, took thoughtful preparation in explaining all of the processes of the court system as they occurred and actually returned phone calls in a timely fashion! These days, that's unheard of!! Chris works on all kinds of cases all over Texas. His motto is "Texas Friendly Spoken Here," which fits perfectly with his NE Texas twang! His office is as warm and inviting as he is and his staff is professional, courteous and someone is always available to answer your questions, or just put your mind at ease. If I had to do this all over again, AND I HOPE I NEVER DO, I would choose Chris Dorbandt every time! He's awesome and his win rate reflects his honesty and years of experience.
