Letters from Clients

Dear Mr. Price:

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your representation of me the past few months. Your professionalism was commendable and your attention to me as a person helped add that extra bit of support everybody needs when they go through such an ordeal.

In fact, as I was sitting in the hallway waiting for all the paper’s to be processed, I overheard conversations court appointed attorneys were having with their clients. They seemed cold, inattentive, and unconcerned for their clients’ welfare. One case in point is an attorney that stood aloof, staring around the room, as he explained a plea bargain to his client. He didn’t care what happened to the guy; he got paid either way. However, it comforted me to see you come sit next to me, look me in the eye, and explain to me what was happening. I felt you understood that this was not a apart of my normal life, and that something must be done to resolve this situation.

This type of concern is hard to find, not only in attorneys, but in everyday life. So often we come across people who simply care about themselves and are unwilling to “look out for their neighbor”. Even though I understand that you were doing your job, in my eyes you clearly went beyond the call of duty. Not only were your actions professional, but you showed a light of humanity that was genuine, and I thank you for that.

Sincerely,

J.W.

Thank you for all your hard work! I’m so grateful and we really appreciate you!

The S.& F. Family

Dear Mr. Price:

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you. All of your hard work and determination toward my case is greatly appreciated. I am very pleased with the outcome that you could get the judge to grant me.

Very truly yours,

K.T.

Dear Mr. Price:

I want to thank you for your kindness in handling the case for K.S. and her friend J.G. Your willingness to help out pro-bono is above and beyond the call of duty. I am glad to find out that in this day and age some are still willing to do acts of kindness because people need help. I am confident that the Lord will bless you for your act of charity. If I can be of any help to you in any way don’t hesitate to call. My number is above. Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Reverend E.S.

Received from a Prominent Dallas Personal Injury Attorney:

Dear Mike:

Congratulations on your court victory in the M.E. case. Given the facts of the case, as told to me by my legal assistant, I am very impressed with your results. Good job, counselor.

Should anyone ask me about a great criminal lawyer, I will continue to refer clients to you.

Wishing you continued successes and enjoyments, I am

Your friend and the publics,

R.J.

Dear Mike:

On behalf of M.E. and his parents, I want to thank you so much for the incredibly professional and doggedly determined way in which you handled his case. It was certainly a new experience to all of us and one which caused us great concern and anxiety. However, your positive attitude and self confident manner certainly eased the feeling of dread and doom.

Words cannot express our gratitude. This entire incident has been the equivalent of a nightmare from which one cannot wake up. Although the process was very expensive to us, the results were certainly worth the investment.

Wishing you the best of all, I am

Yours truly,

L.E.
