Facing criminal charges can be overwhelming and frightening. Understanding your rights after an arrest is the first step in protecting your freedom, your reputation, and your future. Even a single conviction can have lasting consequences for employment, housing, and education.

Criminal defense is not one-size-fits-all. The legal system is full of complex rules, strict deadlines, and procedures that can feel impossible to navigate alone.

I have been working with Julie at Carlson Law Firm for almost a year, during this time Julie has become family! Julie has offered compassion, advice, understanding, and sympathy during our time of grief. Julie has always made me feel comfortable and made me feel that no matter what, she will always be there for us. I have enjoyed working with her, building a relationship with her, and I am so happy with the connection we have made. I am so happy to have Julie on our side and I highly recommend her!

This law firm is amazing. I worked with Mr. Alejandro Lopez and Ms. Jami Nance for the custody of my son. Both Jami and Alejandro were there anytime I needed to speak to them, they offered compassion in difficult situations through the process, and reassurance that my case was being handled with the utmost care, respect, and best interest of my son. I highly recommend this firm and I hope I don’t have to but would definitely be working with them again in the future if I ever need legal services. Thank you for all the assistance and time you all gave.

I wanted to express my gratitude for you and your firm’s efforts for providing me with the highest level of professional legal counsel available. It was quite a long process but the advice and representation I received throughout the very difficult process was everything I hoped for and everything you promised me since day one. I will never forget what you and your staff did for me throughout the 4+ years invested into correcting the many wrongdoings associated with my case. This whole process was, at times, difficult for me and sometimes painful, but, I knew I was always in good hands. Now I have a sense of closure and the peace of mind that we did everything we could to see that there was some form of accountability. None of this would have been possible without your expertise and experience.

The Carlson Law Firm team was a beacon of hope in my time of need. After my accident, I was left with outstanding ER bills that I could not afford. It felt hopeless and the stress was unbelievable. Max was so helpful and reassuring and would answer all my questions. The process was long but they really pulled through in the end. Nick and Maximo were tremendous and I am very thankful and relieved I went to Carlson Law Firm for help.

I will be forever grateful to The Carlson Law Firm. My experience was one of a kind. I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were always put first and was treated in such a professional manner at all times. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. Mrs. Cynthia Castaneda (Paralegal Assistant) was beyond helpful in all my needs and concerns thank you so much. She was very attentive and informative throughout my case. I could not have asked for a better experience. To my attorney, Mrs. Elizondo fought hard for me. They went above and beyond and did everything possible to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorneys Thank you!!

Not only were they constantly in contact with me they took care of my medical needs and I went to the right doctor that was able to heal me unlike Memorial Herman hospital. I paid nothing out of pocket for doctors care. I will forever be grateful for Carlson Law Firm making sure I was nursed back to health. Then they did not just give me a check and say bye. My attorney and several other people came and thanked me for choosing them. I am so glad I did choose them and if they are ever needed in the future there is only 1 lawyer for me. Carlson Law firm
