CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I recently was awaiting trial for my third DWI and first Harold Danford got it reduced to a misdemeanor. After extenuating circumstances it was dismissed. He was quick to respond if I had any questions and very professional. I highly recommend Danford law firm. Everyone in that office is wonderful.

-Stephanie B.

Many Thanks to Mr. Danford, Jonathan, and Jane for making a really bad situation a distant memory now. There is no better law firm if you get a DWI. I hope the firm uses my case as a promotion for their services because it was nothing short of brilliant. The case was dismissed due to the officer not having any reason to stop me in the first place. Totally gone. I would be a part of the probation system and unable to vote or get a good job. I owe my freedom and the security of my family to these folks.

-John G.

Best Defense in the Hill country Mr Danford is hands down the best Lawyer. His amazing team.and Johnathan as well. Makes you feel like your right at home from your first step inside the door.
