Great Job
Ms. Halasz did a great job getting all my charges dismissed. I didn’t have to appear in court even one single time. I took one class and provided documention of prescriptions and she did the rest without a single appearance. Great job!!!! Thanks.

The lawyer that gave me my freedom
To be honest when I first met Leslie I wasn’t sure what to think. I wasn’t sure if we were a good fit. However I’m glad that my fears didn’t get the best of me.

Replied last August 05, 2018Alma is a sweet soul who thru a combination of events found herself with a serious charge involving injuries to others. Probation was not a given. She had no local family and needed emotional as well as legal support which I was glad to provide. A hearing with witnesses was required because the prosecutor would not agree to probation but I was able to obtain probation for her from a Wilco felony judge despite the injuries involved.

Did a great job with my cases.
Leslie was a great in assisting me with a DUI and a Possession charge in Williamson County years ago. Very frank in following through on both charges. Was able to successfully arrange for a plea that was acceptable to me. She also continues to assist with documentation of the case to this day.

Replied last August 04, 2018The best thing about this result was that I was able to get Michael's felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor plea! Leslie Halasz
