- DRDennis Ruffner5 days ago2.0Mr. Nelson was probably too busy to provide an adequate defense of a Class C misdemeanor or to provide adequate feedback or updates on the status of the case. After he basically informed us to not contact his office as frequently and that he would provide the necessary information when available, we discharged him and hired another attorney. Our case has been open in Texas City Municipal Court since August, 2025 with no end in sight. Very frustrating! Oh, and he required a non-refundable fee prior to accepting the case.

- RWRoss WorcesterNov 17, 20254.0Per. Anthony. I gave the fourth star because the webinar was free although it was very helpful I was hoping ít would have had more information as to my rights or what I am required to tell and or show an officer during a stop. I'm always cooperative with the officer however on rare occasions the officer or the person with the gun. Talk to me like I'm below them. When that happens I want to give them what's required and get it over with
- CPC PriceNov 16, 20255.0Tad abd Amber’s help was great.Was not sure why we did done if the stuff we did, like show up for court numerous times, but it all worked out well. Was very pleased with the end result, and I had been waaay over the limit. 1st offense age 73 then.
- GLGray LaskoskieNov 4, 20255.0The guy is well known around the courthouse and by the judges, likely because he is quite good at what he does. As I understand it, him and his team are very well qualified and extremely experienced/knowledgeable to provide you with a well built defense. The only thing I will say is at times It’s difficult to get in contact with them and or have them return phone calls. I feel like communication could very much be improved, but some of the blame I put on myself for that though, and also cause I had two separate cases I hired him for, and you have to remember you aren’t their only client. At the end of the day, I could be in a lot more trouble but I’m not, because of him, which when you boil it down is what counts. A good legal defense isn’t cheap, but If you don’t want to be in jail, call this man. He often offers discounts for paying in full up front or cash, so he will work with you. If you have concerns or feel like you’re out of the loop, call his office and tell them that.
