If I could rate higher I would. I reached out to Jackson via website, and he promptly called to discuss my situation. He clearly explained everything in detail to me, answered all my concerns and questions, and said he would get to work. He emailed a couple weeks later stating all 3 charges were completely dropped! Much kudos! I cannot thank him enough, I was so worried about what would happen. I highly recommend Jackson to take on your case, with confidence, knowing he is the best lawyer for the job! I couldn't have asked for anything better!! Thank you Jackson!!

I recently had a possible situation arise so today I started seeking an attorney. I contacted several, but have heard nothing from any of the other attorneys. Mr. Gorski called me and reassured me that the probability of me having anything to worry about was minimal. We spoke on the phone for around 20 minutes, and he answered all my questions.. It was refreshing to speak to an attorney that actually seems to care! I must say it was a pleasure speaking with him. So if you’re seeking legal advice from someone that will actually listen, and not rush you of the phone. You would be wise to talk with him. Heck he even called me after hours.

I acquired services with the Law office of Jackson F Gorski less than a month ago. It was the first time I needed the aid of a lawyer. While I was nervous at first, Jackson was able to help alleviate my anxiety. He was super responsive to my questions, inquires and was upfront about the expected timeline / costs. While I hope most don't need a lawyer, I am glad I chose him to be my counsel. He was effective in his approach / execution and I felt like my case mattered, no matter how small it was.

Called and explained the situation, he alleviated my concerns and gave me advice for free! Highly recommend, very responsive and quick to put you first.

Very knowledgeable, Jackson answered a few legal questions that helped me in the right direction.

By far the best criminal attorney I have ever known. He is extremely by the book, a clear communicator and worked hard and helped me more than I can even express. I lost someone close to me while I was working with him and he was empathetic and beyond understanding regarding my situation and helped me figure out financial issues that left me in tears due to how caring he was. I can't even put into words how much he cares for his clients and how diligent and intelligent he is. I have recommended him to others and they agree fullheartedly with me that if you want someone that is by the book, honest, caring, and someone that views you as a person - look nowhere else! He is the epitome of a perfect attorney.

Update from 1st post! Attorney Robert Keates has done an impeccable job, in successfully having the GPS monitor and conditions off! His first day in court for my case. I won’t go into Detail, until case is dismissed. Robert Keates is a man of action! He does what he says he will and keeps you up to date! Just to fill you in, this was all last minute preparation, I supplied him the ammo for his arsenal to make sure he would achieve his goal, and in 30 minutes, my life went back on track and my family can now be cared for . Mind you, the info I supplied proved to hold the weight to tip the courts scale in our favor! If you have a case, supply your attorney with as much as possible, it may prove Priceless! Don’t send an attorney without ammo that it leaves him at the mercy of the courts! Robert took 30 minutes to do what other Lawyers claimed otherwise! If your in need of a hard charging attorney who navigated through the courts to get the mission accomplished, this is your man!

Attorney, Robert Keates: This post will be the beginning of Mr. Keates Representation, I recommend following it through its entirety, as it will help you understand the system and the process an attorney has to do on your behalf. Things to consider: 1.The process can be time consuming, 2. Courts have a docket that the lawyer is scheduling by, most times. 3. The complexities of the case , 4. He may have other clients as well, be patient, 5. Pleas, Your attorney acts as your negotiator, to bring what may be best, your choice to accept or not, 6. Trials are costly, and could take years to prepare for, 7. Don’t hold back any questions or concerns, ask them, 8. If you need to understand what she/he-brings to you, ask to explain, 9. Whether you hire an attorney or are appointed one by the courts, they are still an attorney and have to abide by certain rules and ethics, granted, the fee they may receive for being appointed may be minimal, but it is still their job to perform at their best, otherwise they compromise their own integration along with the firm they work in! I will add more as I progress in this journey. Me. Keates first conversation with me was today, and I can tell you from my experience as a professional, and my training, Mr.Keates has a passion and a genuine concern for his clients. He will have you comfortable , confident and leave you without the stress! We will follow him through every step of his representation. TTYL! Sgt Major USMC Retired

Robert is an amazing attorney. He was patient, always kept me informed and very knowledgeable. He kept me calm during a very emotional time, he is an incredible person. He handled everything in a Professional and efficient manner.

Robert Keates has been extremely professional while helping me out in a sticky situation. He truly cares for his clients and stays on top of everything in a professional manner while constantly keeping you in the loop. I don't plan on getting in a situation where I will need a lawyer again but if I ever do Robert Keates is now my go to attorney. Highly recommended!!

I heard they were good lawyers I called to make an appointment and scheduled but I didn't have a vehicle it's a hard way to get over there so I ended up just taking another lawyer but good luck to those who picked this lawyer

It's the new year and I'm able to ring in the new year with my closest loved ones. I'm even able to celebrate the start of a new family. All of this was thanks to the hard work of Hines & Ranc. Every other lawyer was convinced I'd have to bite the bullet. Bill Hines showed up at my doorstep when I was in need and were focused at restoring my future when I was facing a sentence that would keep me locked up for possibly 40+ years. They worked diligently and when I wanted more, though it looked impossible, they fought and got more. Law is complicated and at the end of the day the outcome may not be perfect, but thank God for people who understand the gravity and weight of their work. Also, let me mention I was a poor kid who barely had enough money to his name, they worked with me to figure out how I could afford their services. Of course money is a must to be able to pay for their services, but that was the last thing on their minds, they wanted to restore my future because they saw that it was worth saving. Thanks again, I hope you all have a happy new year.

Unprofessional!!!!! Do not care about their clients.

Chris was EXTREMELY helpful, diligent and amazing with helping my partner get through what could have been a long drawn out DWI process. Long story short, his case was no longer even active because it was so old. Chris researched his case, went to the judge and asked what possible outcomes we could expect. He came back with our options and explained the entire thing. Never did he pressure us into any decisions and only made recommendations. He quickly got the warrant lifted so his license could be re-instated. He told us exactly what we could be doing for the best possible outcome. We came to him in late January and we had the entire cleared up, warrant gone and probation discharged by May. Had we not had things to clear up on our end I know Chris could have taken care of it even faster. He was very responsive, attentive and did everything he could to guarantee the very best outcome. He did more than we expected and got us more than we expected. I cannot say enough about how great this firm is. Don't let their small office fool you. They have been doing this a long time and are absolutely wonderful!

Mr. Hines and Mr. Holub did everything in their power to bring justice to a serious issue. And they did, without a doubt did the best they could for this situation. I went to 5 different other attorneys and none felt as confident as Hines Ranc & Holub. They understood my situation and stood their ground to protect me.

Maryann was able to get my case dismissed despite the fact that prosecutors pretty much had me dead to rights, and all for a very reasonable flat fee.

Charlie is great! I’d like to point out a couple things - Charlie in my opinion could charge much more for his services and is very fair. He is even willing to do payment plans and I believe he truly cares for his clients. I paid my full cost ahead of time and I’d like to note how after 12+ months Charlie answered all my calls(personally) responded to all my emails(within 24 hours) & even helped on a different matter through text. If you’re looking for someone to help you and is fair you’ve come to the right place. Personally I’m happy I chose Charlie because I’ve heard absolute horrible stories with other lawyers in Austin(from friends) Charlie thank you for helping getting my case dismissed & have a great new year!

Charlie did an incredible job with my case. He was responsive and was able to get my case dismissed way sooner than I thought. He exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend him!

MaryAnn Espiritu was one of the most professional and responsive attorneys I have ever met. When I reached out, she responded in less than ten minutes. She is extremely professional and very detailed. She will provide you with pertinent legal advice, and will ensure you have a complete understanding of all of your options. She is a person who deeply cares about people and the end result.

Highly recommend Charlie and his awesome team. I hired him to help me get through my first DWI and they helped me every step of the way making it a very manageable experience. He is very affordable considering most other attorneys and was always quick to respond to any questions I had and his team working with him were very professional and always on the ball.

She is extremely professional and very detailed. She will provide you with pertinent legal advice, and will ensure you have a complete understanding of all of your options. She is a person who deeply cares about people and the end result.

    Highly recommend Charlie and his awesome team. I hired him to help me get through my first DWI and they helped me every step of the way making it a very manageable experience. He is very affordable considering most other attorneys and was always quick to respond to any questions I had and his team working with him were very professional and always on the ball.

Nathan was awesome and quick to respond to all my inquiries. Made the whole process 100x easier and was a pleasure to work with. Thanks!

I am so not the type to leave any kind of review. Specially, do not like to write NEGARIVE reviews but some are just needed. All I am going to say is, DON'T believe the promising speech they give you at your consultation because it's a LIE. Of course, no lawyer can guarantee you results but don't over promise anything you can't deliver. First, let me tell you a little bit about the situation. I already had a lawyer who was trying her best to get me the results I need. Unfortunately, we were stuck in a time loop for months since the prosecutor wasn't denying nor approving what we needed. All she kept telling me was that we had to wait until they agreed to our terms. I waited for a year. That's when I decided to hire "THE BEST". With all evidence handed to them, I specifically asked the time frame in which my case would be settled and they said 6 months. I hired them August 2020 (covid already) and they said it would be resolved by end of year 2020. We are now in June of 2021 and as the months have gone by I've heard less and less from my lawyer. If I don't reach out they never call, email, text or anything. I've been expressing my frustration to them since February and every time I get promised better communication but never hear from them when they say they are. I always have to email or call which I swear, makes me feel like I'm harrasing them. I hired them so I would have to keep waiting and here I am almost a year later knowing the same thing I did back in August, NOTHING. I tried to email Mr. Dunham a few months ago, who was actually the one that made all promises at my consultation, I WAS IGNORED. I expressed to him my frustration about the lack of communication and results and I never heard back. I had to call to speak to him which he then just referred me back to my lawyer and did nothing about it. Over all so REGRET my decision in hiring them. I should of just stuck with my previous lawyer who would at least communicate with me and didn't make me feel like an idiot. Today I emailed once again, guess what? NEVER HEARD BACK! Even though I was suppose to hear from them yesterday!

Met with Mr Dunham. Told me it would be 7.5k and he would "negotiate" my DWI down to nothing. I asked him if he could do 5k. No problem. For him. He sent one of his people to court instead. Guess 5k wasn't enough to get his attention. His person was fresh out of law school. Did nothing for me other than explain to me how court was going to go. In other words, I have no idea how Dunham and Jones are as DUI attorneys. I didn't pay what they asked so they sent me someone fresh out of law school instead. Nice fellow, but if I spend 5K I don't expect someone fresh out of college. I could have easily spent half the money and ended up with the same results.

Thank you to Ivan Barrera for all the work & attention he put into my case. It would of been impossible to get through this without you. God bless.

The process would have been extremely difficult had I not been working with the Dunham & Jones team. Austin Hagee and Mario Moreno did a fantastic jobs and I appreciate all their hard work. I would highly recommend them.

I was extremely satisfied with the services of Kevin Bennett. His knowledge of the criminal justice system and ability to empathize with your case are SECOND to none! Keven was always ready to answer any of my crazy questions; and helped me through a very tough process and time in my life. Trust me, you need someone like him next to you. He will have your back!

Kevin worked very hard to achieve the best possible outcome for my family member's case. Always responsive, and gave great guidance and advice. I hope we won't need legal council anytime soon, but I would absolutely call on him again.

I would recommend Kevin Bennett to anyone that I know. I had a case that I didn’t know was still ongoing and he helped me get the case dismissed in one weeks time. He is one of the few people who actually listen to what you have to say and help you to the best of his ability. The best lawyer in Travis County by far.

I highly recommend Mr. Kevin. I’m a recovering addict who is now 3 years sober n I made some pretty bad choices that led to some serious consequences such as felonies. And he just assured he was going to do everything that he could and he did exactly that and more. I mean this sincerely, thank you!!

Kevin and his team were amazing. I was truly afraid but they made everything easy. When I had questions, they were answered. You can count on Kevin Bennett!

Responsive, affordable, and reassuring. She was able to get all of my charges dismissed. I highly recommend! If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney in Austin, go with Melancon law firm.

This was a solid and smooth lawyer experience. Upfront and honest as well as affordable. Would absolutely use her services again (hopefully I won't have to)

I want to take the time to write a thorough review over the reasons why you should choose McKinley Melancon to represent you. In the Fall of 2014, I was arrested in my underwear by Travis County over a crime I was falsely charged of. At that time, I was a student at the University of Texas. I had no money. I had no family support. I had no idea of the next steps to make. The week I was arrested I had three consecutive exams, and so I was overwhelmed with the situation. I started to receive the usual legal representation letters in the mail. I had no faith that I could possibly reach out to any of them with the hope that they would understand the situation I was in. However, there was one individual that I did choose to reach out to. My case involved someone accusing me of assault with bodily injury. There was no proof. There were only my words against that someone’s lies. And as you know, when the state takes a case on, they do the most to try and hold the defendant accountable. Months and months passed. Then, it was a year, and then another year. Dealing with the state or any government is not an easy thing to do and requires an immense amount of patience. I was struggling with my health, and over the years I was losing faith that I was ever going to receive a trial. But I did. McKinley is a person of integrity. She is a fighter. She is a passionate lawyer who takes her career to a personal level. When it came to my case, she was persistent. She was understanding of my situation. When I came to her pleading for help with all that I had, she accepted what I could give. Of course, every lawyer comes with a price, but that didn’t stop her from arranging a payment plan that I could afford. I put my trust, faith, and hope in McKinley, and she did the most to make sure that I was going to be properly represented. And, in the end, I received a not guilty verdict. McKinley also has a great network of colleagues. If she does not have an answer to give you, she will work and find the answers that you need. She has all the support possible to ensure that her clients are dealt with respectfully and properly. If you have ever been charged with a crime, you will know or come to find out that it is a lengthy and tedious process to get a trial. With that said, I encourage you to reach out to McKinley. She will walk with you every step to the decision you will end up making. I can’t express how grateful I am to have chosen McKinley Melancon.
