I found myself in a chaotic legal situation, I contacted several attorneys, some didn't even call back, and some, frankly didn't sound professional at all. I can't say the same for Mr. Goff, he was extremely professional, and when I began to get anxious he reassured me that he had my best interest at mind. He was able to get a charge dismissed, which I am very grateful for. He was responsive, constantly communicating when I had questions and being clear and concise. Months prior to my court date he told me what to expect and the outcome, and it was just as he said! No gimmicks! When you need a job done, reliably and with integrity you call a professional. When you are having legal issues, I can assure you, Phillip Goff is the man to call. Mr. Goff, thank you for being there when I needed counsel. Outstanding attorney.

Phillip Goff was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient in his council and correspondence with me. In working on my case, careful attention to detail was ensured with prompt communication, discreet confidentiality, and thorough explanation of legal proceedings. Now, in part because of Mr. Goff's expertise, I have been able to reclaim my career. If I ever found myself in another compromising legal situation, I would definitely give him a call again.

He’s been the best attorney experience I’ve ever had. He’s prompt and takes time to explain and makes sure you fully understand. He goes above and beyond what he’s obligated todo. His pricing is extremely fair in comparison to other attorneys of his quality. I would highly recommend his office to anyone who is in need of their services. I give them a 10 star plus rating!

Phillip has been there every step of the way! He’s taken the time to educate me on my case, has been helpful, professional and kept me informed every step of the way. I am lucky to have him on my side. I would highly recommend to anyone needing an attorney.

Philip Goff is a tireless relentless dedicated attorney that seeks and gets the best possible results for his clients. He landed me a deal that was better than anything hoped for! I chose my counsel very wisely and it was a modest amount of money very well spent! I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in need of an excellent defense attorney! Sincerely, Tom Clarke

After hiring a lawyer who's "strategy" was to continuously postpone the court dates until I was arrested a second time, I fired him and called Kyle, which I should have in the first place. He's so helpful and informative. I got the best results I could have imagined, considering the circumstances. And now here we are, 7 years later, and he will still give the advice I need regarding the case coming up on a background check. The few that are very upset must be trolls because I could not imagine having a bad experience with him.

Mr. Hoelscher was very informative and patient. Gave me the information I needed.

Working with Kyle I could tell he was very passionate about his job and helping the people he's assigned. He was able to handle my unique case and was successful in getting me a pretrial diversion even though I live out of state. Kyle is very familiar with the law and how the justice system can be cruel at times, so he will do his best to take your side and help you get the best deal possible.

Called about 5 or 6 lawyers when I was looking for the best representation in criminal defense, and Mr. Hoelscher was the only attorney who explained everything in precise detail. I was not even his client at the time but he still explained Everything on my alleged charges, answered all my phone calls and questions. He even educated me on other similar subjects I was not aware of. I’m very thankful I hired him as my outcome was a relief. Not only is he extremely intelligent and helpful his fees are very fair for the service/representation you receive. You never know when you might need a criminal defense attorney and Mr. Hoelscher is your lawyer without a doubt. Respectfully submitted, Jesus

Im very satisfied with the outcome of my case. Mr. Hoelscher handled it very well although he didn’t promise anything gave me outstanding results. I recommend & will Call him if im ever in a bind again.

We are in a very desperate situation and in need of legal advise. Without getting into the situation I will say I found Me Mark DiCarlo on Google search. I called to see what our options were with the given situation. Upon speaking with Mr DiCarlo in my opinion he's a very negative person didn't sound like he had too much knowledge in the kind of case we were looking for. Very rude and doesn't let you finish any part of the conversatiin and if I had the choice to stay with a public defender or pay Mr DiCarlo to represent me in a case. I think my chances would be better with a public defender in no way did he make me feel like he would come up to bat for me or any ones he had no confidence in himself or the way he spoke. He stated more than one for that matter he told me that it wasn't about what he could do for me it was if I had the money because it was a money situation. That tells me that he is only about the money not about fighting for you. At the end of our conversation I professionally told him he didn't sound like he would argue on our side the way we need and I thanked him for his time and before I could finish he hung up on me. I was shocked at his unprofessional behavior. And I would never recommend paying him even if it was for a traffic ticket... And if I could rate zero stars I would....His rude, unprofessional behavior made me steer clear and return to my search for a good CONFIDENT AND CARING attorney. I understand that the charges are very difficult but I want an attorney that makes me feel like they care enough to try and one that can clarify our options and this attorney in no way showed us that he would do all he could to get his time reduced or get the case dismissed he flat out told me he might ask him to plead guilty after reading the case. Well hell if that's the case then we can stay with a public defender for that that's why we are looking for a good attorney. And BTW yes we do have the money we put money aside for this situation and we have way more than what his retainer fee is and now I understand why he's so cheap you get what you pay for is the truth and he won't be seeing a penny of our money. Now I understand why he wasnt listed under the Google search of best attorneys in Corpus Christi or best federal attorneys in Corpus Christi. .... My review was an honest opinion not due to being upset because that wasn't the case I was told on several occasions that it was a monetary situation. And I was informed that his attorney she was not obligated to give me information and upon his permission she did I am in no way upset with his public defender as I stated to Mr DiCarlo she was new to federal proceedings and maybe she was not in the best interest of him because she had very little expierence and communication had been bad and paperwork was taking long to get to her client. Maybe we needed someone with more expierence and knowledge in his case due to the charges. Reading his review shows his unprofessional behavior to prove my point. And telling all the details of our consultation including our full names is out right crazy now that was done in a malicious act of anger and I feel like could taint the case of my friend. So before any consultation please people take this unprofessionalism in consideration what you tell him is apparently not confidential and he can't be trusted if he's upset. I will contact the state bar to make sure this behavior Is at least acknowledged. It shouldn't be legal if it is. Again Thank you Mr DiCarlo for your time and for proving my point. This will not go overlooked.

They were all very caring helpful and made sure I understood everything. He was able to get my disability started in a little over a month. They did everything they could to accommodate me and my needs. If you are looking for a a real down to earth Lawyer that cares about you this is the office from the Lady's in the office to Mark this is the Lawyer for you.

I started my case in 2016 or 2017 i believe on my own I tried very hard with my daughters physical disability i kept getting denied even when I went to court i appealed every time so I hear of mark and gave it a shot 1 year or 2 now 2021 so later with all my paperwork in hand from the previous docs needed he sat me down and ready to go he explained we may have to start over which I appealed many times so in his hands what I had he went to work it took time obviously but he ended it getting done a big relief for myself this is most recent as of this month but he kept going prior as I myself would call and get the status I was helped and my questions were answered im very satisfied now just awaiting on SSI letter confirming...thanks Mr. DI Carlo look forward hearing from you and SSI on winning my daughters case Abygail

Mark A. Di Carlo is an awesome attorney he helped me win my case. I would definitely recommend him to people i know.

This Man is very good at what he does. My brother was a client of his and was very appreciative for everything. And we can't leave his worker Jessica ty for everything you did for my brother. He also says ty Jessica.
