Rick R Flores

Rick Flores is an absolutely phenomenal lawyer that saved my life and future. I was arrested for a felony possession of a controlled substance, and Rick helped me navigate the complicated process over multiple years. He is extremely responsive and was always patient and helpful. He got my charges... completely dropped after it seemed like my outlook was initially grim. I cannot recommend him enough. Very professional and a stand up person.

I was arrested on a first degree felony drug charge in April of 2017 in Travis County. In the course of my case, Rick kept excellent communication with me, and was able after a little over a year, with plenty of effort also from myself, to reduce my charge to the lowest level felony, and in the end m...anaged to get me a deferred adjudication. I was given 5 years probation, but also kept myself on the straight and narrow, and, with Rick’s help, I was released from probation at the halfway point as judiciary discretion allows for probation/supervision in Texas. Rick literally saved my life, and I will forever be thankful.

Austin is a beautiful place - incredible music, a never ending stream of local hangouts & that beautiful central Texas weather to boot. It should stand to reason that we have some incredibly talented and gifted attorneys in the area, which we do. However, as in most professions, there are a few who s...hine just a bit brighter than the rest. In Austin, that individual is Mr. Rick Flores. Rick is, in my humble yet somewhat qualified opinion, a god among defense litigators. I was summoned to court in Llano County for a POM>2 ozs charge I received about two years ago. For some reason the paperwork never went noticed until right before the statute was up. Rick and I went to Llano, fully expecting a rough time from a small town with a conservative court, and he got me a deal I couldn't even believe was possible. He got my class B misdemeanor settled on a Pre Trial Intervention program which essentially involved a fee, some community service hours & a consultation with a drug counselor. I thought I was going to be toast & Rick ensured that I was handed a fair deal that I could make good on back here in Travis County. What truly makes his work special is a combination of things. Rick has the ability to see within the minds eye, so to speak, of prosecutor's offices. Having worked in the Travis County Prosecutor's office right after law school (Hook 'Em! - Rick is a UT Law Grad!) for a multitude of years, he was able to gain incredibly important insight on not just the typical dealings and flow of the other side of the aisle, but the way in which Prosecutor's tackle different kinds of cases, what they expect, what they want, how they communicate & how far they can bend. This specialized knowledge lends him extreme talent as a defense attorney. Coupled with his tutelage under two of the most successful defense lawyers that the state of Texas has ever seen, learning to refine his strategy both in and out of the courtroom, while gaining incredible experience that only seniority can present on unbelievably tough and complicated cases, Rick has emerged as a crown jewel of criminal defense in the state of Texas. He takes the stereotype of the sweaty palmed, petty & scheming defense attorney and snaps it in half - Rick's dealings with both his clients and opposing council is nothing short of regal. Prosecutors see him walk in, talk to him for five minutes & their faces light up in a smile. Why? Because they know they are about to work with a truly class act who, however strong his case may be, is ready to work with anyone & everyone to seek justice for his clients in an amazingly refined fashion. Rick represents clients from all walks of life - from those with a silver spoon to those who don't even have a spoon. He supports local music & artists (such as myself) but he's also taken cases with extremely high profile professional figures as well. To Rick, there is no difference - the quality of representation and diligence in work product remains static throughout the varied backgrounds of his clients. To top it all off - Rick is still young. It will be a wonderful treat to see just how high he can fly by the time he reaches the age of your average 5 star attorney. He may be even better than he is now, if that's even possible! Go with Rick Flores & you won't be disappointed. Trust me. And thanks Rick!
