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!

I was really stressed out about hiring a lawyer, Rick was perfect because from the moment I met him I could tell I was in good hands. He calmly walked me through the process and was very upfront about what he was able to do and not able to do. Rick is an amazing lawyer! If you want someone that will ...listen to you and get you what you want, then Rick is your guy.

I don’t have enough words to describe how amazing the experience was to work with Rick and his team. They work extremely hard to make sure you have winning results. From the moment I met Rick I felt that everything was going to be okay. His attention to detail, perseverance, faith in his clients and... his respect for the law will always have me highly recommend him.

I barely turned 18 in June , and I kinda got into a little trouble but how I got in trouble was so BOGUS !! I knew I needed help immediately or else I was going to have to have charges all on my record . I’m not a bad person I just made a mistake and needed help , I got referred to rick by some frien...ds and he immediately called me and got on it . I was out of jail the next day and starting Pretrial , I went to Pretrial for a week and then my case was dismissed . DISMISSED !! Just like that ! I didn’t have to attend court , rick always kept me up to date with phone calls and messages . He never seemed to be annoyed or in a rush , he always took his time to explain things to me about my situation and what exactly I needed to do . He was very helpful !!! And although I hope to never get in trouble again , Rick is definitely someone I would call !! Thank you so much !
