You should get professional help NOW, and you are on the RIGHT page.

Should You Get a Lawyer? Who Should You Get?

Getting a lawyer who cares about your outcome is a great idea. It will make you feel better about the situation. You should get a lawyer for both peace of mind and the improved chances for a better outcome.

Attorney Phillip W. Goff has secured dismissals in thousands of cases over 30+ years in over 100 courts. He has hundreds and hundreds of 5-star reviews from former clients. He’s here to help you next. He can help you by navigating all those different courts for you.

He’s seen the Hidalgo County population explode over the years, growing to the largest county outside of the Texas triangle: Metroplex–Houston–San Antonio/Austin. That change is reflected in the courts, which are busier and more confusing for people than ever.

Phillip W. Goff takes your tickets seriously, and he knows your ticket is extremely important to you. It may not be a multi-million dollar case, but it affects your life in a real way. Some lawyers don’t take tickets seriously, but he does, just like everything else he does. It’s just who he is.

His fellow attorneys respect him for his high standards of legal performance and ethical conduct, as evidenced by their choosing him to receive the highest possible rating for lawyers, the AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell. He puts that work ethic and professionalism into every client’s matter.

He doesn’t simply handle tickets. He is a leader in the field, having served as a statewide board member of the Traffic Lawyers of Texas organization, the only traffic defense organization for lawyers in Texas. He is also the only member of the organization with an office in Hidalgo County and the only member south of San Antonio.

He has protected people against virtually every type of traffic violation you can imagine for both commercial drivers (CDL) and non-commercial drivers.

What are Some Benefits of Hiring Us?

A Conviction on Your Driving Record is Very Unlikely

No Texas attorney can guarantee any outcome of a charge, but convictions almost never occur when we are involved.

Not Going to Court

Our clients rarely go to court in person. We try to make it as convenient as possible for you and make appearances on your behalf. A few select cases may require physical appearance in court, but it is uncommon.

Modern and Efficient

We use modern electronic communications, and clients can use their smartphones to do most, frequently all, of what’s needed. If your case needs to be appealed, we provide you the documents and explicit instructions about how to complete them.

Up-front Pricing

In most situations, our legal fees are simple, one-time amounts because we have efficient processes in place. Fees owed to the courts are not included in legal fees.

You Don’t Get Ghosted by the Firm

You have access to Mr. Goff and his staff through a communications platform to answer questions about your case along the way, so you are not left guessing or ghosted.

Fight Your Ticket

Most clients never set foot in court. Up-front pricing, handled by smartphone.
