Client Testimonials
“If I could give more than five stars I would not hesitate to do so. These guys are the best of the best! Mr. Matthew C. Brown handled my case, and he went above and beyond in ensuring I had the best possible outcome. His knowledge and experience in the local area is where he really shined. He knew what to do, when to do it, what to say, and when to say it. In all honesty, he saved my entire future from being destroyed by one stupid mistake. A truly professional law practice.” –Michael S.
“I met with Houston & Alexander based mostly on reputation alone, after being told by people in the business they would probably be my ONLY chance! I faced serious charges, but Johnny and Brett were able to negotiate them to lesser ones, save my reputation, and SAVE ME MONEY! Johnny knows the local judicial system, the DAs, the judges, and the legal process. The office staff — including Wanda Whitmire and paralegal Chaiden Durham — only increased my confidence; they kept me up to date on my case throughout the entire process! If you need a criminal defense team, do not wait! They ARE the best!” –Larry
