Criminal Defense 48%

I am accepting all Texas criminal cases including misdemeanors and felonies. If you have a type of case that I do not handle, I will refer you to a known and trusted colleague.

48%
Family 47%

I am developing this area of my practice and thus it occupies a smaller portion of my practice at this time. I enjoy assisting people with difficult personal matters. Being from a divorced family, I understand the stresses that this imposes on family members, including children.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent legal counsel

Mr. Garvin was very expedient in my DUI case. He was able to have my case before a plea agreement, and was concise on what I was to expect. He worked on this as if it was his only case. I would highly recommend Dax Garvin Legal for anyone that needs a compassionate, and highly skilled legal mind.

Approachable, friendly, accessible, responsive, caring and dedicated attorney!

I had a rather simple area that I wanted help with... setting aside a conviction in a DWI case. I did not know the exact name for that process and I found Dax online. I contacted him and was able to get an appointment rather quickly, and he did not charge for the first meeting. He quoted me a flat... fee and I knew what to expect from the time I left his office going forward. I really liked the fact that Dax met with me and really seemed interested in helping me and my situation. I knew that he would be handling my case and not passing me off to another associate attorney. When I needed to reach Dax, he was available to me via text message and cell phone ... I don't think he gives those out until you hire him, though. I would recommend you call Dax for anything. Even if you think he cannot help you, give him a chance. If Dax is not able to assist you, he will tell you up front and if possible refer you to someone else. I have no complaints and if I ever need an attorney again, Dax will be the first person I call!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
