  As a former client, I Highly Recommend Robert J Fickman as Criminal Defense Attorney. At 43yrs and no criminal record of any kind I found myself charged with injury to a child (3rd degree Felony) based on a claim made by my 13yr old son making for his Second abuse claim, first claim dismissed by CPS Police detective. This time being arrested and charged was a terrifying experience both my wife, daughter, and myself having no clue how the legal processes work. Robert was compassionate in making sure we understood the process and risk potential incrimination unknown to us. Robert was excellent at communication with updates and strategy and he is clear and concise doesn't sugar coat anything which is what I needed. Robert is very experienced and well known throughout the Houston Justice system and amongst DA and atterony networks. Robert surrounds himself with highly experienced partners at FICKMANLAW office as well Reputable SMEs, investigators, and polygraph examiners. Robert Fickman and his team's efforts result in a NO BILL / Charges Dropped based on evidence proving false allegation presented to the grand jury. Throughout this process Robert was respectful, and accommodating willing to setup payment arrangements and always kept us informed of costs. At the end I feel Robert is more of a friend than my atterony.

  I wish there were more stars to give! When my husband was arrested on felony injury to a child charges due to false allegations made by my step son , I was terrified and had never dealt with any kind of legal situation before! A friend of the family referred me to Mr. Fickman. Rob called me at like 1:00 a.m. the evening my husband was arrested and walked me through the bond process, and gave me advice on what to communicate to my husband while he was in custody all before we even hired him. The Sunday my husband was released Rob met us at his office and explained to us in detail what we were dealing with. Throughout the legal process Rob was a ROCK STAR…he listened to our case and got to know our family on a personal level. Rob was always available anytime we had a question or had information to give him. He is direct, thorough, no nonsense, and doesn’t waste time on things that are not beneficial. After a long, stressful six months Rob got my husband’s case NO BILLED! Our family will forever be grateful to Mr. Fickman and his Assistant Märtha for the hard work and effort they put into protecting my husband and his FREEDOM!

  If I could give zero stars, I would. Hiring this attorney was one of the greatest mistakes we have ever made. His representation was nothing short of a travesty. Despite touting his “40 years of experience” at every turn (as though that were meant to inspire confidence rather than concern), he consistently demonstrated a shocking lack of preparation, empathy, or even basic human decency. He didn’t bother to understand who his client was, what he did for his community, or how deeply his sentencing would impact countless lives. He portrayed my business partner to the court as a man he clearly didn’t know. Facts were misrepresented or omitted entirely – such as telling the court that only $12,000 was earned in a certain year, while failing to mention that he has earned six figures for the last two years since. Instead of humanizing his client, he reduced him to stereotypes and irrelevancies, ignoring the daily support his client (my business partner) provides to senior citizens and his community. Worse yet, when my business partner attempted to share an intelligent, meaningful closing statement highlighting the societal cost of incarceration, his lawyer shut him down, telling him, “The court doesn’t care about money.” Ironically, in a country where fines are a standard alternative to prison time, this shows an appalling ignorance of how the justice system actually works. He came across not as an advocate fighting for his client’s life and dignity, but as a tired old man waiting out his last cases until retirement. His lack of memory, preparation, and care placed an innocent man in prison in a system ready to label him a “terrorist” because of his ethnicity and profession. If you want an attorney who actually knows your name the next day, who cares about your life and future, and who will fight for you with clarity, preparation, and truth – keep looking. This man is not it.
