Better than I expected

Mr. Lyerla got me a really good outcome on a felony case. I was going to accept what the prosecutor offered at first, but he had me hold out while he worked on it and came back with something a lot better, and had them throw out other cases that he wasn't even hired to work on.I will have my life bac...k a lot sooner thanks to him. I tried offering him extra money in the end, but he wouldn't take anything more, just said he was doing his job.

Christopher Lela exceeded my expectations

I called the top 3 high rated attorneys who practiced in Guadalupe county. The first 2 started talking about their fees. Chris spent over 30 minutes explaining the process, his experience, answered my questions, and his fee. He was my choice and did an outstanding job A friend of the family wa...s charged with a felony. Chris was able to get the bond reduced so mm y friend could go to work and reimburse me for fronting his legal fees. I highly recommend Christopher Lela to anyone seeking legal county. He was also the only one who had a fixed price that was well below the competition AND he allowed me to pay it out.

Thank You

Mr Lyerla was very professional in handling my case. At one time he was able to recite some law the judge was not aware of. A impressive day and I could tell the judge likes this guy. I know that this man was a lot of the reason, I WON!! Thank you Sir

Chris is one of the best.

I'll start by saying that I am employed with law enforcement and had the opportunity to deal with many attorneys. Chris is bar far one of the best. I have worked with him professionally and personally. He handled a modification to my custody order and it went flawlessly. He was attentive to the matte...r and I did not have to contact him to find out what was going on with the case. Chris was always a step ahead of me and handled the matter very quickly. Chris will be my go to attorney for any future matters and I will recommend him to any one.
