CDL CASE HANDLED PERFECTLY
This firm represented a CDL driver. From the first call to the end, everyone was super helpful and friendly. This isn’t a case where they take your money and don’t do anything. They were transparent with everything and managed to get the case DISMISSED! I was super concerned because it was a very iff...

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Kelly has handled numerous Class C misdemeanors throughout central Texas. Her fierce advocacy and sharp intellect have made her a force to be reckoned with. Kelly is an excellent attorney. I happily endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I heartily endorse this lawyer. I am a criminal lawyer in Massachusetts. I had a client who could not renew his Massachusetts drivers license because the State of Texas was claiming that he had numerous violations in Texas. My client had never been in Texas. Dealing with the Texas DMV and the local sheriff in Austin became very difficult. I referred the case to Attorney McMahan. She had all the right contacts in the Texas DMV and in the Sheriff's Office. Within a few days she got the entire mess untangled and got the Texas Sheriff to issue a "not me" letter. That is a letter that the client was able to take to the DMV in Massachusetts and get his license renewed. Kelly is a bright, fast working lawyer who knows the people at the Texas DMV."
"Ms. McMahan does an excellent job representing her clients in the Austin Municipal Court. As a former prosecutor, I always felt that Ms. McMahan worked diligently on behalf of her clients. Many attorneys do not put in substantial effort when representing clients for class-C misdemeanors. However, Ms. McMahan always goes the extra mile to ensure that her clients get the best resolution possible."
