Texas Defenders was founded by Robert Abtahi, an attorney who had previously served as a prosecutor. This gives him firsthand insight into how cases are charged and built, enabling him and his team to anticipate strategies and challenge weak evidence.

Based on our research, they can handle a wide range of assault offenses, from simple misdemeanors to serious felony charges.

Better yet, they make getting started easy. They offer a free case evaluation where they’ll gladly discuss your case, explain your options, and outline a defense tactic to help you move forward with confidence.

Several clients we spoke to commended the firm for spelling out the punishment for assaults, depending on the type and charge level, allowing them to prepare emotionally and financially if needed.

Some people, however, were disappointed in the lawyer they talked to, who kept interrupting them during the phone call.

Got my case dismissed in two days, and it’s eligible

“Robert and David are literally heaven sent!! After being (falsely) arrested on a Class A mis assault- I hired a diff attorney who sat on my case for months and did absolutely NOTHING! The DA was “headstrong”. I prayed for God to open the way!! I took my chance with a Google search on Robert and he called me quickly after the online application.. ON A WEEKEND! Yall he got my case dismissed in two days and it’s eligible! He’s straight to the point and very effective! Don’t hesitate to call him! I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you Robert and David💖”

Abrams Trial Law boasts over 30 years of trial experience in the Dallas area. Warren Abrams, who has been board-certified in criminal law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1988, leads the firm.

As a veteran attorney, Warren received the renowned Texas Super Lawyer award for 17 consecutive years—a strong testament to his capabilities. This is what most people we spoke to said was the main reason for trusting him and his team to handle their cases.

They offer legal help on extensive assault charges, including but not limited to sexual harassment, deadly conduct, terroristic threat, and abandoning or endangering a child.

For those who have questions about their situation, take advantage of the firm’s no-cost initial consultation, where they’ll answer all your inquiries.

That said, we found out that they’re a smaller firm with a father-son team. This means they have less bandwidth for multiple cases.

Very communicative during the process and told me everything I needed to do

“Mr. Abrams was a wonderful attorney. He was very communicative during the entire process and told me everything I needed to do to get my Assault charged dropped. I cannot thank him enough for helping guide me and representing me in the court of law!”

Mr. Abrams beat the case as painlessly as possible

“I had a bogus charge of aggravated assault w/ a deadly weapon and Mr. Abrams beat the case as painless as possible. I’m on the process of getting it off my record, thank god for Mr. Abrams and his team. Thank you so much. God bless.”

Michael & Associates has been safeguarding clients since Ben Michael (the founder) began practicing criminal defense over a decade ago. The firm has grown to include more than 20 senior attorneys on their team.

They protect against a full range of assault offenses, from simple and aggravated assault to domestic violence.

To help you gain clarity, they offer a complimentary case review, where they’ll get to know the specifics of your situation and provide a personalized defense strategy.

We love their team-focused approach, where they appoint a lead trial attorney to their client’s case as the main point of contact, but still work together as a whole behind the scenes to beat the charges.

Most clients we spoke to appreciate the firm for not charging an extra trial fee, unlike others.

Nevertheless, no firm is perfect. Some people were upset that they didn’t answer calls, leading them to find another lawyer.

They did a great job keeping in contact with me about the case

“Micheal and Associates did an amazing job with my case. Attorney Keating and the team did and great job keeping in contact with me about the case and kept me updated with what I needed to do and the how the case was going. I had doubts at first cause I’ve had attorneys( I paid for btw)that seemed like they didn’t care but this team was impeccable and definitely worth the money 10/10 would recommend again if I needed legal representation in the future!”

Incredibly thorough in explaining every step of the process

“I highly recommend Michael & Associates. I had the privilege of working with attorney Michael Garcia, who was incredibly thorough in explaining every step of the process and making sure I understood my case. He took the time to answer all of my questions, address my concerns, and made me feel at ease throughout the entire experience.”

The Medlin Law Firm has several lawyers with at least a decade of experience as prosecutors. This gives them unique insights into how the District Attorney’s Office prosecutes charges and uses them to their advantage.

They’re well-versed in handling various assault classifications, from aggravated to sexual assault to domestic violence.

Before getting started, they offer a free case evaluation, helping people understand the offense they’ve committed and explain how they can beat the case through tailored plans.

What impressed us most was that they can aid clients in several languages, including English, Spanish, Russian, and Ukrainian.

However, according to some people we spoke to, their extensive knowledge leads to high caseloads, making them hard to book.

They were attentive, professional, and kept me informed every step of the way

“I had the pleasure of working with Cody and his assistant Bree, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their help. From the very beginning, they were attentive, professional, and kept me informed every step of the way. Cody handled my case with great skill and determination, and Bree was always quick to answer my questions and make sure I understood the process. Thanks to their hard work, my case was dismissed, and I can now move forward with peace of mind. I truly appreciate everything they did for me and would highly recommend Cody and Bree to anyone who needs dedicated and effective legal representation. Warm Regards, Robert Sims”

Fought for me and got me a dismissal on my case

“First off I want to thank Mr Jacob Gamble from the bottom of my heart, for representing me. If you want someone that’s going to fight for you and is willing to figure out a solution to win and not just brush you aside or see you as just another case, I would strongly recommend him! I can tell that he was very intelligent willing and ready when I first met him and I consider myself very lucky! He didn’t just represent me he fought for me and got me a dismissal on my case! I want to thank you again and thank you to your team, thank you as well. I haven’t stopped celebrating and I will keep him saved in my phone just in case!”

Established in 1994, Deandra Grant Law began with a single office and has expanded its operations across Texas, now with seven workplaces.

Their Dallas branch specializes in defending against family violence charges, such as physical harm, threats, emotional abuse, and any other form of coercive control.

A strong believer that everyone deserves professional legal help at challenging times, they offer a free case assessment. They’ll listen to your side of the story and provide you with a preliminary understanding of your legal options.

In addition to their expertise, we love their AI legal avatar, where you can get prompt replies to basic legal questions.

That said, some people don’t have a smooth experience working with them. Several clients didn’t get timely updates on their cases.

If I had a question, it was answered quickly

“I felt like part of the team. I was ask questions and given feedback about my case. If I had a question it was answered, quickly. The portal that we communicated through was very helpful and I was responded to quickly with any questions. Great group ok very knowledgeable and professional lawyers.”

Everything was handled with such professionalism and made me feel supported

“Was recommended to DGL to handle my case! I see why they recommended this law firm. From the beginning everything was handled with such professionalism and made me feel supported! I want to thank Lauren for always being so attentive to all my questions and being patient with me! Thank you DGL!”
