"If you want your case to be dismissed, hire Peter and he will take care of everything by sending you a message on your phone with dismissal form. Deserve more than 5 stars."

"The law firm was outstanding. I was facing a felony three time DWI charge. But with the space of 25 years between my second and third charges, Todd and his team used that as a main defense. Plus Todd gave me a list of things to work on, which I accomplished in a month, to show the prosecutor that I was serious about my case and that had a positive impact on the prosecutor I my favor. We got the charges dropped to a second degree misdemeanor. Todd and his team always kept my in the loop of what was going on and always returned calls and texts immediately. If I ever got upset because of being nervous, Todd would listen to me and calm me down. I was referred to this firm by a good friend of mine and if at any time I would refer this firm if asked by someone."

"Charged five times the rate of another attorney for the same outcome. Todd Shapiro. While the work would have been solid, there are more affordable options that deliver the same level of excellence at a fraction of the cost."

"My deep appreciation to Mr. Peter Ganyard, a criminal defense attorney in Collin County, TX is beyond measure. He assisted me with a misdemeanor and felony case in an extradition (TX from CA) situation. With the added challenge of finding an attorney to advocate on my behalf in a State that I no longer reside had me on edge. I vetted several attorneys before selecting Mr. Ganyard to represent me and it didn't take long to discover how exceptional he is in his craft. He is knowledgable, attentive, understanding, and was very empathetic to my situation. He immediately filed paperwork after I retained him, always kept me updated on my cases and replied to my messages promptly; despite a two-hour time difference between us. He strategically orchestrated my defense and was victorious in settling the cases in my favor. I'm glad I stuck to my instincts and selected Mr. Ganyard to represent me! His assistance was invaluable to me and my family and for that, we are forever grateful to him. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Ganyard, you will not be disappointed"
