Very happy I hired this lawyer
I was embarrassed to be arrested on the river in New Braunfels, but I admit I definitely had too much to drink and got out of hand. Found Mr. Strickland online and hired after one phone call. I could tell he knew everything about my kind of case (public intoxication) and could handle it. He took care of it completely and I didn’t have to do anything after hiring. Couldn’t have been any better. Thanks again.

Arrested for public intoxication in Fredericksburg and hired Mr. Strickland
I had never been arrested in my life and did not know what to do. I was googling for lawyers and found Mr. Strickland’s reviews and it looked like he had a lot of experience with cases like mine. I hired him after just a phone call and never had to go to his off or or court and he took care of everything. His assistant Ainsley was also so helpful with everything.

The best dwi lawyer!
I hired this lawyer for my dwi case in Round Rock and he did the best job. It was so easy to talk to his office because you could just text them and get back to you right away about anything. great service all around and clearly knows what he’s doing.

Dallas Public Intox Dismissed!
I was arrested for the first time ever for being drunk in public. It was totally my fault and I was embarrassed, but I was so scared of going to jail. I met 2 lawyers in town and I just did not like how impersonal they were. I was looking online and saw Mr. Strickland’s office and they looked so professional and there reviews were great. I wasn’t sure if they did cases in Dallas but I called and spoke with them and they said they do. I hired right away and never had to go to court. My case was dismissed and taken off my record. So glad I found this lawyer.

Great communication and results!
I hired this lawyer for my Dwi case in Austin and it was the best decision I could have made. I only had to go to court once and he was on time and looked sharp unlike so many other lawyers. I already knew exactly what to expect because of constant communication from his office. They really do text you back within minutes but I don’t know how they keep up with it! So happy with everything, you know, given the situation. Hope I never need another lawyer but would hire again right away if I had to.

Hired for Dallas Public Intoxication charge
I hired this lawyer after I was arrested for public intoxication in downtown Dallas in February. He was able to take care of my case and have it dismissed without me ever having to go to court. Also was able to do an expungement to have my arrest records deleted which was HUGE for me. Great communication and always answered my questions. You get what you pay for!

Hired for Public Intoxication in Austin
I was arrested downtown leaving a bar and I must admit, I had too much to drink. My memory of everything is a little fuzzy, but I got let go from the jail in the morning with a couple of sheets of paper and had no idea what to do. I'm a student and looking for internships and really did not want this to cause me problems for my future so I wanted a lawyer. I spoke to Mr. Strickland with my parents and we all felt like he knew exactly what to do and that I would be in good hands. I never had to go to court and was able to have my case dismissed and expunged all within about 6 -7 months which was better than I ever expected. I'm more careful now and hope I don't need to call him again but I definitely would.

Hired for New Braunfels DWI
I hired Mr. Strickland for my DWI case in New Braunfels. All everyone told me was how tough New Braunfels was on DWi cases and I was so worried that I would have to spend time in jail. Mr. Strickland and his firm were always available to answer my questions and give me updates through texting which was so easy and convenient. Even if I texted late at night I would have a response first thing in the morning. I can't say thank you enough for how much that helped me through this hard time. I would recommend Mr. Strickland to everyone, he was the best.

Made my Georgetown DWI go away!
I got a DWI arrest in Georgetown and was so scared about it causing me problems with school or with my career. I hired Mr. Strickland based off of reviews and speaking with him. Right away I felt very confident that everything would be ok and before long he worked out my case to be dismissed and I was able to do an expungement to have the records destroyed. So thankful!

Best lawyer to put you at ease
This was my 2nd attorney I hired for my DWI case after I fired my first one. My first lawyer never answered calls or returned calls after leaving messages and I never knew what was going on. I even went to court one time and found out the lawyer had rescheduled the date and never told me. The experience with Mr. Strickland’s firm was the total opposite. He was always available to schedule a call anytime I wanted to talk, but mostly I could get any answer I needed just by texting his amazing assistants. I was never in the dark and always felt comfortable that I was in the best hands.

Case dismissed!
I am so happy with Mr. Strickland and the whole firm. My DWI arrest was a nightmare but I instantly felt better after meeting and hiring Mr. Strickland. The best part was the day he called to tell me that he had my case dismissed!

Great DWI lawyer
I hired Joe for my DWI in Travis County. I crashed my car into a sign and it was not good. Somehow Joe was able to have the DWI dismissed and I was able to get it off of my record. Can’t do better than that. Very happy I hired.

Austin Public Intoxication
I was arrested for public intoxication on Rainey street after leaving a bar. I searched online and found Mr. Strickland’s firm and they had a ton of great reviews so I hired after having a phone call with him. I never had to go to court and my case was dismissed and taken off my record. Couldn’t be better.

Amazing lawyer
I was so happy when I went to court for the first time for my dwi and had Mr. Strickland as my lawyer and not any of the other lawyers there. You could just tell that he knew what he was doing the way he talked to judge and everyone else. The other lawyers looked lost and tired. I was very happy in the end with the way everything went. Thank you!

The best!
Getting arrested for the first time in my life was SO scary for me. I was stressed out and scared that I was going to have to go to jail for my dwi. After meeting with Mr. Strickland I immediately felt relieved and comfortable that everything was going to be ok. I’m embarrassed but my case was real bad, but still I was able to come away without having it on record thanks to Mr. Strickland and his whole firm.

Good lawyer, happy I hired.
I don’t want to talk about my case too much, but I was referred to the lawyer by a friend and am very grateful that I was. I was in a bad spot and Joe took care of everything. I saw other reviews here and I agree with all of them wholeheartedly. Couldn’t ask for better service or result.

Made Public Intoxication ticket go away
Hired this lawyer after getting arrested for public intoxication in Fredericksburg. I thought the whole thing was ridiculous but I still got a ticket and a court date. I'm from Dallas so going back for court would be a huge inconvenience. Hired Joe and I didn't have to do a thing after that. Made my ticket go away quickly and I was able to have the records expunged too. Great service. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.

Great lawyer with personal touch
I'm 64 years old and was arrested for the first and only time in my life about a year ago for DWI. I was so embarrassed and afraid of going to jail and didn't know what to do. I was referred to Mr. Strickland by a lawyer friend and it was the best advice I could have gotten. Mr. Strickland made me feel so comfortable with the process and was genuinely friendly and great to talk to. Ultimately he was able to keep me from going to jail or having a conviction even though I know I shouldn't have been driving. Lesson learned. I 100% recommend Mr. Strickland to anyone who finds themselves in the situation I did.

Saved my career after being arrested
I am a nurse in Austin and was arrested for DWI in a small town nearby. The town ran my name and photo in the paper a few days after my arrest which was awful. Unfortunately, I had had too much to drink and I should not have been driving and I deeply regret it. However, Mr. Strickland was able to negotiate my case to get basically a slap on the wrist that kept me from losing my job or my nursing license. Even the judge said he had not seen such a great deal on a case like mine. I was blown away. So thankful and highly recommend.

Best lawyer for a worried parent
My husband and I hired Mr. Strickland’s firm for our daughter’s DWI case. Mr. Strickland and everyone in the office were so thoughtful and kind throughout the entire experience and always put us at ease. We were so concerned about this mistake derailing or daughter’s future but Mr. Strickland ultimately had the case dismissed and we have filed an expungement to have the arrest records deleted as well. Thank you doesn’t say enough.
