What Clients Say

“My honest opinion of Mr. Daniel is that he is a friend to the working man. He will fight, and win on your behalf. I won’t get into my case, it was nothing lewd or lascivious, but it could definitely have been a road block moving forward. I have a career, and a family, so I say this without reservation, if you value your own family, and freedom, contact Mr. Daniel. I got a much better outcome than I expected.”

– Tolo Shardonnay

“Mr. Daniel helped get my felony charge down to a misdemeanor with probation. I highly recommend him. Veronica is great too, and always available to help answer any questions.”

– Tyler Ray

“I would like to thank the Daniel and Halstead law firm for what they did for me and my family. They were great! Mr. Halstead was my court appointed lawyer on my Federal case. He was very responsive and willing to answer any questions I had for him. Additionally, he was able to avoid my fear of incarceration and I was given two years probation.”

– Jennifer Steadman

“I cannot say enough good things about Woody Halstead. He recently represented my daughter. His professionalism and legal expertise are second to none. On a personal level, Woody is just an all around great person. He takes the time to care about his clients. I am forever grateful for all he did to help my daughter and our family. I highly recommend Woody Halstead!”

– Zoey Zimmerman

“I was arrested on a drug case where they charged me with a second-degree felony of manufacturing and delivery. I was facing up to twenty years in prison. To make matters worse, I was in Kerr County. I hired the law firm of Daniel and Halstead and I am glad I did. Mr. Daniel met with me several times and explained everything to me before we went to Court. He convinced the DA that the best they could get me on was a State Jail Felony and then Mr. Daniel convinced the Judge to give me probation. Mr. Daniel did a great job for me.”

– T.F.
