"April 2025, I was stopped by Alvin, Texas Police Department. Still to this day, I do not know why I was stop. I was arrested, transported, and booked in Alvin City Jail. The arresting officer never told me why he arrested me. The next morning, I went before a judge who told me the charges were driving while intoxicated and unlawful carrying a weapon. After I was released on bond, I confer with a friend of the family and ask for the best law firm to hire to work on having my charges dismissed. My friend, highly recommended Durham and Jones. I spoke with Joseph Lindberg and I explained in great detail what had transpired. He told me the firm will do everything possible to have the charges dismissed. Ralph Ledesma defense attorney assigned for my administrative law driver license revocation hearing and Amy Mintah the lead criminal defense attorney for both charges. From my initial consultation, Mr. Ledesma and Ms. Mintah were professional, clear, and reassuring during a stressful and shocking time. They explain every possible outcome of my charges and understand the possible results. They kept me up-to-date and were responsive and treated me no less than professional. They did not see me as another case or giving a substantial amount of money just to put in their pockets. They were truly genuine and show compassion. They were steadfast and determined to collect all necessary evidence. Retaining Durham and Jones was worth every penny. I am thankful to God for Mr. Ledesma and Ms. Mintah seasoned skills of the legal process and procedures which resulted my driver license privileges not suspended and my charges being dismiss for insufficient evidence that helped me get my life back. I’ve never been arrested before April 2025. I highly recommend anyone who’s in the same predicament to hire Durham and Jones. Thank you, Durham and Jones, God bless the law firm!!! Mr. Ledesma and Ms. Mintah, rock!"

"These guys are exceptional at what they do, really helped me when I needed them. Huge shout out to my lawyer Vanessa C. Botello she was really great and it really shows that she cares about her clients. Vanessa was really attentive and communicative gave me several options but in the end she worked her magic and was able to get my case dismissed. Couldn’t thank her enough, I would definitely recommend this law firm and Vanessa as your representative."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you want to WIN, you want Kathy. Period. Kathy Kathy Ehmann-Clardy, is that lawyer — the, the LEGAL QUEEN the GOAT ! you want in your corner. She walked into that courtroom like she owned the place and had my case dismissed like it was light work. From start to finish, she was sharp, confident, and 10 steps ahead. She doesn’t just represent you — she fights for you. Smart, fierce, and fearless. If you want someone who knows the law, knows strategy, and knows how to get results, look no further. Choose Kathy. You’ll thank me later. 👑⚖️🔥"
