Whether I'm in the office or court, I'm there for you

Experience You Can Count on and Dedication You Can Trust

My name is John Eastland. I'm an East Texas trial lawyer with more than 24 years of criminal defense experience. I have fought for the rights of men, women and juvenile clients accused of minor and serious offenses in more than 500 criminal trials. I have a proven record of producing results and verdicts. I love the law, I love to fight and I love to win.

If you've been arrested for DWI or any other misdemeanor or felony offense, it is extremely important to talk to an experienced defense attorney before you make a decision you may regret. A plea deal means the law gets to say you are guilty. A conviction will stay with you forever. Don’t give up your future without a fight. Contact me today.

My Philosophy: Never Plead Guilty

You should remember two things — an arrest does not make you guilty and the police and prosecutors are not about to do you any favors. They are good at making you feel like the case against you is a slam dunk and that a plea deal is your only hope. Don’t believe them.

Believe me. I do what I do because I actually care about what happens to my clients. I know a lot of lawyers say that, but the fact is that when you walk into my office, I see you as a person who needs help, not just another file or fee. I love coming to the office and meeting with my clients. I love going to court. I love the practice of law and the money I make is just icing on the cake.

The most important thing is that you talk to a lawyer who is more interested in what happens to you than in making a quick fee. I'll sit down with you and explain the situation and lay out your realistic options. I'll let you know honestly and up front how much a thorough defense will cost. I'll even talk to the whole family to help ease the fear and worry they are going through.
