Stephen Hamilton was able to get my 2nd ARP dropped for felony DWI. Which was nothing short of a miracle. He's the strongest DWI attorney in the field by far. I most definitely recommend him for anyone that's in need of a DWI attorney. Best in the biz.
I am a DWI TRIAL ATTORNEY. When other lawyers just plead folks guilty, I try DWI cases. I have obtained not guilty findings on DWI breath test cases, blood test cases and refusal cases. I have obtained not guilty findings on first offense DWI's thru habitual offenders (those facing a minimum of 25 years in prison to a max of life).

As a criminal defense attorney, I have tried cases from traffic tickets to murder. I try cases in state courts in Texas and well as Federal courts in Texas.
If you are accused of a sexual assault case in Texas, talk to us. I have tried Sex cases including sex assault on a child and have obtained positive results including Not Guilty findings.
As a criminal defense attorney, I have tried cases from traffic tickets to murder. I try cases in state courts in Texas and well as Federal courts in Texas.
25 years, 500 cases
Board Certified in Criminal Law, AV Rated, tried over 100 jury trials and a published author, I wrote the book on DWI and Criminal law defense. Before you talk to ANY lawyer get a copy of my DWI Survival Guide, A Citizen's Protection Manual for a DWI Arrest. While other lawyers "advertise" experience I will show you how my trial experience of over 100 trials can help in your case.
Because my practice focuses on DWI defense and criminal law, I often speak and lecture to other lawyers about how to try a DWI case. Local media in cases and issues involving DWI or other intoxication issues has interviewed me.
My goal is to focus on each case that I take and provide personal client attention. I try more cases in a year than most criminal lawyers try in ten years and I believe that is for several reasons. First, I like my clients. If I can help them in their time of stress I want to do whatever I can. Second, I like trials. I enjoy the stress that comes with being in trial. I believe that when I walk in that courtroom, as arrogant as this might sound, I am in charge and the goal is to help my client.

Best law firm
Chase, from Hamilton Grant did an awesome job helping a friend get a Felony 2 marijuana charge down to a Misdemeanor B. We couldn’t be any happier. He made this stressful situation a lot smoother by always being available to answer questions that we would have. His hard work showed with the great result that he obtained for us. We highly recommend Hamilton Law firm.

Best attorney and law firm in Lubbock
I had two different legal issues that I was facing and was terrified of the potential outcomes. However Mr. Hamilton and his firm/practice were beyond amazing and I never had to step into court personally until the sentencing / end of my case. He is literally the best lawyer in Lubbock he got me an outcome I never knew was possible. His office is right across the courthouse and I never had any issues contacting him with regards to case updates and questions about my case/cases. I recommend anyone facing pending charges to hire this man ASAP. Could not have wished for a better outcome. It's true what they say, keep quiet and lawyer up! Thank you Mr. Hamilton for all the work you did on my case. I am forever grateful. 10/10!

The Best
Our son had serious allegations made against him by another student resulting in university and police investigations. We hired Stephen and Cindy to represent him through this very scary process. They were extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and supportive to our whole family. The university and police investigations were closed with no finding of fault. If you are in need of representation, hire Hamilton Grant. They will will fight for you and they do not mess around.

The Pat Mahomes of Attorneys
I was facing serious prison time after a series of bad decisions involving drinking and driving. I was literally staring into the unknown. I hired Steven Hamilton after strong recommendation from a friend and it was the best decision I could have ever made. Steven stood by me and fought hard for me. Steven helped see me through my legal issues even when people in my own family had given up on me. Steven Hamilton is the best attorney in Texas because he cares more about each individual client and he fights harder for his clients than any other attorney. If attorneys were quarterbacks, Steve Hamilton would be Pat Mahomes because he delivers in the clutch and you are NEVER out of the game if he’s in play. I honestly would have never had the opportunity to turn my life around if it weren’t for Steven Hamilton.

DWI
I was charged with a Class A Misdemeanor DWI with a BAC of >.20. This was definitely the lowest point of my life, but they made me feel human and forgiven. I was represented by Chase and he was amazing! He, as well as the staff, were extremely helpful with any questions I had and very quick to respond. I was offered pretrial diversion and have the opportunity to get my charge expunged after 2 years of probation. I know this could have turned out dramatically different and ruined my future, but I am SO glad I chose this firm.

Excellent lawyer
Stephen Hamilton did a fantastic job with my case. It happened over the holidays last year and it was a very stressful time and not a great case. I was worried that he would not be able to get me a favorable outcome, but he did. I could not be more thrilled with the pre trial diversion. He went above and beyond to get a favorable outcome for me.

Nothing short of excellent
Mr. Hamilton and his team helped me through an extremely difficult and frightening time as my case was pending. They're accessible, friendly, and most importantly, unbelievably patient with their clients. They took the time to explain the process and help me understand all the possible outcomes. I'd recommend HamiltonGrant to anyone with a pending legal matter.

Criminal Case Dismissed
Stephen,
From the day I called Hamilton, Hull, & Byrd they were instantly welcoming to me. Being from out of state I had to find a lawyer who I could place all of my trust and faith in. From day 1 Chase, and Shane walked me through the steps and gave me confidence that I needed to see this case head on. My case ended up getting the very best ruling it could possibly have gotten in a dismissal. Shane was able to guide me in the direction needed while Chase finished everything. I am forever grateful for the work you guys have done to ensure my past will not affect my future as I move on from this. Thanks

"Stephen Hamilton is a rare talent. As a board certified criminal law specialist, Steve's knowledge of the law places him in the top 1% of our profession. His creativity, drive, intelligence and trial skills place him even higher than that. As a colleague and fellow criminal defense lawyer I am very familiar with Steve's courtroom ability, particularly in the area of DWI defense. I honestly can't think of a better DWI lawyer in all of West Texas."

He is known for being tough in the court room which carries a lot of weight in the process of negotiation before trial. The courts in Lubbock and surrounding counties know that this is a lawyer who isn't simply taking money to plea bargain without the chops to go all the way to trial - that means something when it comes time to get the best deal you can in your circumstances."
