Top Notch Legal Expertise
“When my son got in trouble with law enforcement, I turned to O’Connell West for help. Doug and Laurie did an amazing job. They steered us through the process, fought for my son and ultimately his case was dismissed. If you or someone you care about is in trouble, I highly recommend you hire O’Connell West.”

Case Dismissed
“Being charged with a criminal offense can be a life changing event and you will want to make sure you have the best people representing you. This great team of experienced lawyers listened to me, understood my situation entirely, and fought hard on my behalf. Ultimately, my case was dismissed.”

— Thankful

 

Savvy. Diligent. Intelligent.
“Doug and his partner Ken represented me and a co-defendant in what can only be called a gross miscarriage of justice. After showing the government the light, prosecutors doubled down due to ignorance, incompetence, and politics – and Doug and Ken kicked their efforts into high gear. The result? Acquitted of every trumped up charge the state could come up with.”

Powerhouse Attorney with Proven Results – The Go-to Law Enforcement Attorney in Texas
“I was indicted for multiple felonious charges stemming from an on-duty shooting while employed as a police officer. Doug O’Connell & Ken Ervin fought aggressively to show the case had no grounds for prosecution. The case was ultimately dismissed, and the charges expunged. Their cumulative track record of winning jury trials, specifically for law enforcement made a huge difference. I’ll forever be thankful for their relentless defense and outstanding communication along the way. Thank you!”

“Laurie Drymalla took on my federal case when I was unjustly stopped and detained by law enforcement. Her legal work resulted in my case being dismissed. Laurie was prepared, professional and always made me feel like my case was a priority. You can count on Laurie to fight for you!”

Expertise, Compassion, and Dedication
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Oliver Mintz, and I have nothing but praise for his exceptional legal services. As a lawyer, he brings a unique blend of compassion, kindness, and efficiency to his work, making the legal process smoother and less daunting for his clients.

One of the things I appreciated most about Oliver was his speed and responsiveness. He always made himself available to answer my questions and kept me informed throughout the process. His easy communication and attention to detail made it easy for me to understand what was happening at every step of the way.

But what really stood out to me was how he hand-walks clients through every step of the process. He is patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure his clients’ needs are met. I felt like he truly cared about me as a person and not just as a case file.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Oliver Mintz to anyone in need of legal services. His expertise, compassion, and dedication to his clients are second to none. Whether you’re a veteran or not, you won’t find a better lawyer to guide you through the legal process.”

Empathy and Trust
“Doug worked with me for several months during my military legal battle to ensure I was able to stay in and continue to serve. He has a calming presence and a perspective that allowed me to immediately trust him as a person as well as an attorney. Over the few months that we worked together, he demonstrated the ability to see my case from a multigenerational perspective and anticipate problems in order to spin them in my favor. I would recommend Doug as an attorney to anyone, and can’t thank him enough for his hard work, empathy, and trustworthiness.”

Outstanding Lawyer
“Doug O’Connell truly deserves the title as a “Super Lawyer”. I highly recommend him as a man of honor who will dedicate himself to providing you the best legal defense possible. He represented my son in a complicated assault case. Doug fully investigated all aspects of the case, and coordinated with the Austin Police Department, and the Austin District Attorney’s Office. I believe this was a case where the best aspects of our judicial system were on display. Mr. O’ Connell did outstanding work and presented a detailed account of the events that transpired and all factors in mitigation regarding my son to the District Attorney’s Office. Because of Mr. O’Connell’s hard work and the District Attorney’s Office willingness to review the evidence and consider my son’s circumstances as an individual, it was determined that no charges were filed against him. Anyone who hires Doug will not be disappointed. He will be a fierce advocate for you, always responsive, and will keep you informed on the status of your case from beginning to end.”
