My Innocence Was Defended and Lifelong Freedom Saved - Most Important Decision I've Made
Before reading my attempt to summarize our journey, here is a list of Sharon’s qualities I wrote as I see them which all came to me in a single swift and non-embellished sentence; hoping to represent what stands out the most to me when reflecting over these past 4.5 years. Both in and out of the c...

1000% Committed to fighting for her Client
Sharon represented me on a 3rd degree felony case for which I am not guilty - subject 2-10 years in prison. She truly believed in my innocence. She consistently kept me focused on the issues and fought up to the very last day before the case was presented to the Grand Jury. The odds against a no ...

Great experienced attorney
Sharon was diligent about my son's case and was able to get the charges dismissed through a deferred prosecution agreement. She knows the system and what needs to be done. Highly recommend if you should ever need a juvenile defense attorney in Collin County. Her support staff is also great.

The Truth
If anyone can get it into your head to get sober and stay sober, Sharon can. In addition to being a well-qualified professional in criminal law, Sharon cares about her clients. She emphasized what the consequences of my actions would be in specific detail and if I did not follow the plan, dire cir...

"I have known Sharon for as long as I have been doing criminal defense and wish I was as good in the courtroom as she is. Her skills are simply unquestionable."
"I endorse this lawyer. She is aggressive, hard working and respected as a first class lawyer."
"Sharon Curtis is a nationally-renowned DUI defense lawyer and an inspiration to all members of the DUI defense bar. Board Certified in DUI Defense by the National College of DUI Defense, she really knows how to attack a case. Highly recommended."
"Sharon Curtis is both a friend and a terrific trial attorney. Whether it comes down to a battle in the courtroom or negotiating a great result for client to stay out of the courtroom, Sharon is a hammer plain and simply put. I have become friends with Sharon due to her personality and her professionalism. I have discussed strategy decisions with Sharon on my own cases and will continue to do so in the future. Sharon Curtis is one of the DWI Dude's "go to trial lawyers" in North Texas and I would love to try a case together with her some day."
"Sharon is a very skilled attorney. She fights until the end for her clients. I highly endorse this lawyer."
"Hands down the best attorney in Collin County. She is not only an amazing attorney but more importantly a tremendous human being. She is one of the most talented lawyers around with a strong reputation among Criminal Law litigators in Dallas. Her consistent victories speak to her work ethic, talent, and care for her clients."
"Sharon is a no nonsense, take no bull attorney that is in charge of her cases and fights to the end for her clients. Her level of DWI knowledge and courtroom skill is lightyears ahead of most attorneys. You can't go wrong having Sharon in your corner on any DWI or criminal case."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. She is tough is the courtroom and prosecutors know that if she's your attorney, they'd better be prepared! She is knowledgeable on the ever-changing issues in criminal law and is both revered and respected in Collin County as one of it's best criminal defense attorneys."
"I fully endorse Sharon. She is an excellent lawyer with a good reputation in the community. You will be well-served with Sharon on your side."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I am very happy to endorse Sharon Curtis as a true expert and attorney in DUI defense. Unfortunately, what many people facing a DUI don’t know is that there are literally hundreds of attorneys in any metro area who will handle their DUI. However, maybe only a handful of these attorneys truly know how to defend these complex scientific cases. If you submitted to a blood test, breath test or even standardized field sobriety tests, then you need an attorney who has years of formal training and experience defending these complex cases. Hiring anyone else is usually a recipe for losing. I have known Sharon for years, and I can assure you he is one of those few attorneys who has a complete understanding of the science necessary to challenge these cases successfully. Christopher H. Cessna Attorney at Law Denver, CO"
"There are many lawyers to choose from. However, there is only one that you can trust to successfully defend your DWI charge. Attorney Curtis is not only an exceptional lawyer, she is a lawyer you can trust. Her knowledge of the law and her skill in the courtroom make her a formidable adversary. Attorney Curtis’s persuasive abilities have given her a national reputation as one of the finest advocates for the accused citizen. Without hesitation, I strongly endorse Attorney Curtis."
"People in Texas backed into a corner by a DWI charge need Sharon in their corner. Her experience, expertise, and knowledge about DWI defense make her a superlative advocate for those charged with DWI. Among her friends and opposing counsel, she is known by her nickname -- "Wildcat" -- which is just exactly what a driver charged with a DWI needs. Exxon used to say "put a tiger in your tank," and that slogan, slightly modified, applies to those thinking of hiring Sharon for their DWI: "put a wildcat in your corner." With Sharon at your counsel table, the prosecutor will be in for a fight, and Sharon has the skills and tools to prevail. I heartily endorse Sharon's work."
"I know Ms. Curtis as the Texas Wildcat because of her agressive dedication to her clients. Sharon backs this up with knowledge and skill obtained by constantly studying the science and law of DUI defensse. If all you want is to plead guilty, save your money, but if you want someone to fight on your side, Sharon Curtis is the one for you."
"Sharon Curtis is an extremely talented DUI\DWI defense attorney. Sharon can breakdown a DUI/DWI case with an eye toward total destruction. She is more than technically competent when it comes to the scientific aspects of a DUI defense. She is caring and compassionate towards her clients, and goes the extra mile when dealing with her office. But the one thing that distinguishes her from other local attorneys is the fact she is a street fighter. She learned both sides of the street, first as a former prosecutor, and now as a DUI defense attorney. If you’ve been charged with DUI in the Lone Star State, don't go it alone, get your guns up and call Sharon Curtis, she will be the star of your defense team."
"Sharon is in an elite group of Attorneys nationwide who are confirmed leaders in the field of DUI/DWI Defense. Her tireless efforts on behalf of her clients, her pursuit of the latest in law and science, and her excellent trial skills make her one of the elite DUI/DWI attorneys in the nation."
"Sharon will fight to the end for her clients and will leave no stone unturned in finding a defense for them. If you are charged with a crime in TX call Sharon."
