I was facing charges of child abandonment and Gary and his team guided me through the process and kept me updated on everything. When I first met Gary, he was welcoming, honest, and I can tell he was the attorney for me. I had some homework to do and submitted to him because I believed in him and needed his service. One thing I love was that he was not in it just for the money, he takes pride in his work. He represented me well and his encouragement through my process alleviated a lot of my worrying. I was less stressed because Tracy and Kristy also kept me in the loop of things. My charges were dismissed and without Gary and his team, I don’t know what could have came from these charges. I am forever thankful.
Gary Trichter, a long time friend, and I first met at Sugar Land airport during our first flight on 6/23/92. As his flight instructor, I had the pleasure of training and recommending Gary for his single and multi-engine Private Pilot certificates; both of which he accomplished in the same year! Gary has since continued his strive for aviation excellence earning an Airline Transport Pilot certificate as well as his Certified Flight Instructor certificate while maintaining a well respected legal career.
I believe this background information will help provide good understanding of the professionalism that Gary demonstrates with everything he is involved in.
Twenty five years later, I now manage a corporate flight department consisting of three jets, one turbo-prop, and employ eight pilots. In June 2018, I received a disappointing phone call early one morning. One of my pilots had been pulled over and charged with a DWI. The following Monday, my pilot and I reached out to Gary and explained the situation. Gary immediately put his expertise and amazing team to task. Within a month, Gary and his team had negotiated a pretrial diversion and already set up the time to have all charges dismissed! Gary and his team handled the entire process with genuine concern as if he was a member of their family.
I would highly recommend Trichter and LeGrand to anyone, especially to those in the aviation field, as the FAA consequences can be far more reaching.

I hired Mr. Trichter in my DWI case (June 2018). He came recommended from a friend who spoke extremely highly of him and sent me his personal cell phone number. From the first phone call, I knew Gary was my guy. He made a plan of action and got in front of it from day one. Gary and his team, Kristi and Tracy, had a sense of urgency yet maintained a calming demeanor at all times, which was exactly what I needed in the fog of chaos. All my interactions with Mr. Trichter and his team left me feeling that they had control of my situation and were genuinely concerned with the outcome. I wasn’t just another client. Within a month, Mr. Trichter negotiated a pre-trial diversion and already set up the time to begin the expunction process. They did a phenomenal job and I highly recommend Trichter and LeGrand to anyone in need. They were worth every penny!

After interviewing many high-profile DUI attorneys in the Houston area, I chose Leslie LeGrand to represent my case based on his experience, legal approach & strategy, historical success rate and economic value. Given this was not my 1st such situation, I fully anticipated an uphill and challenging course of events to unfold. I can honestly say, the insightful personal advice and legal representation strategy put forth by him and his associates amazed me. The case drug on what seemed forever and in the end we had to settle it based on the evidence against me ... but the terms & conditions could not have been more favorable to me. I was amazed. Honestly, I couldn't have been happier under the circumstances. Sometimes a conviction can even bring a smile. Other firms appeared to blow smoke at me ... Leslie LeGrand gets his hands dirty. Dismissals are rare ... so glad I choose my team wisely. Thank you all again.

My heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Mr. Leslie LeGrand and his staff for an amazing job in my case dismissal. Their hard work & effort along with their professionalism & tenacity resulted in a very favorable decision for me. Had I been convicted of a felony, I would have lost everything that I have worked so hard for in my 52 years…the most important being time with my family. Mr. LeGrand gave me the opportunity to watch my 1yr old grandson grow up and have me a part of his life…and there is no price for that. Whether or not I would recommend Mr. LeGrand is a given and if I could rate him ten stars, I would.

I have been with Trichter & Legrand for several months now using the services of Attorney Aaron White and my experience has been great! I have never felt at any moment that my needs were not being met, the staff is very helpful and always there to work with you. I like to think of them as comforters during my personal situation I have been handling, every time I need advice or have a question of concern they are always there to help with their professional and honest assistance. I would suggest anyone looking for a great service to look into Trichter & Legrand, you will be glad that you did.

Hiring Gary Trichter to represent me was one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
I was arrested for DWI in Ft Worth after I allegedly failed field tests and a warrant was taken for my blood. I spoke with Gary and told him that I wanted to see the evidence in my case before deciding whether it was worth it to pay him $21k nonrefundable, because if it was a likely plea deal, that expense made no sense. Gary assured me that we'd be going to trial no matter what, and then pressured me to decide whether I'd hire him. I gave in and decided to do so based on his online reputation.
After the evidence comes in, Gary now advises me that we couldn't possibly win at trial. He is somewhat rude to me, and scolds me for my own rude behavior towards the arresting officer. That really didn't sit well with me. He advises that we should try a motion to suppress, and if that fails, plead guilty. Gary performed reasonably well at the hearing, but we lost, and I pled guilty.
I paid Gary $21k to only attended the motion to suppress hearing. He was not involved in the plea negotiations; instead he hired a local attorney to represent me. I didn't get much advice at all about what to negotiate for, and feel I did not get the best possible deal.
After I won my first appeal, which I handled myself (and which was later reversed), the trial court set a hearing. Gary informed me that he wouldn't be appearing for this, based on our contract specifying that his representation was limited to the dwi case in the trial court. I pointed out that this was still the same dwi case in the trial court, and asked for an explanation as to why this hearing was not part of his representation. I received no response.
During my appeal, it was discovered that there was an error in the court's paperwork that indicated I had no right to appeal. I contacted Gary about this, and he refused to take any responsibility for this or help me in any way to get it resolved.
I generally found Gary difficult to communicate with. I would caution anyone considering his services to reconsider.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Edward Denuna for the way he handled and helped me through a very frightening experience in my life (a DWI arrest). He handled himself not only professionally, but showed tremendous concern and care in his dealings with me. Mr. Denuna basically held my hand through this whole ordeal. When I had questions they were usually answered prior to my having to ask them. he worked to get the best out come for the situation short of a dismissal (which was highly unlikely).
AS a result of Mr. Denuna's efforts if I had a friend in a similar situation I would not only recommend Trichter & Murphy, but more specifically I would tell them to ask for Mr. Denuna personally to handle their case.
David Siegel
It has been a year since I wrote my original review of Mr. Denuna's help. I feel at this point I must update that review. If he had my highest praise on the original review it is even higher now.
After a year you would have trouble getting somebody on the phone let alone walk you through what needed to be done to get your final orders from the court. Not only did Chris help but he made a point of making sure I didn't have to go back to court. He did all this in courtesy and efficiency.
If any body I know needs legal assistance I will send them to Edward Denuna no questions asked.
So Chris thank you once again for making a terrible situation as easy as it can be made.
Sincerely,
David Siegel

Yesterday my DWI case was DISMISSED by my Lawyer Chris Denuna, No Breathalyzer ever, No probation, No nothing. I had searched online for a good lawyer and I came across Tichter & LeGrand, I seen that they are open 24 hours, I read the reviews I read a lot of good/positive reviews on Chris Denuna. I called it was past 12 a.m. sure enough I was able to talk to him, that made me feel like I was at the right place. The day I went to the meeting, Chris was very confident and very knowledgeable. He always gave me positive feed back. I had missed court one day by accident and he had all under control, I was so worried and he was able to reschedule for the next day. Chris has a great big heart, He went to my first court without any money upfront and waited for the payment, I have not ever known any lawyer that goes to court without any money upfront, he gave me payment flexibility. He has been a Big Blessing to me and I highly recommend him. He was there at anytime I text him or called him he was always available, very reliable. My case only took 3 months less time than Chris had estimated, I am very satisfied with his work and how fast my case was resolved, If I had to get a lawyer again, Which I don't plan to be in this situation ever again!!! I would hire Chris Denuna. I am very Satisfied.

Leslie LeGrand is a superior lawyer. Throughout my year of working with him, he made me feel like family and treated me as a priority. While dealing with my DWI case he was available at all times and kept me in the loop with everything. My 2nd DWI ended up going to trial when the judge would not lower my charge. He was able to assist in getting me acquitted of my charges after allegedly blowing a .185. In and outside of the Courtroom, you want this man on your side.

So pleased with my decision to hire attorney Chris Denuna for my DWI case! Not only did he get my DWI & ALR case completely DISMISSED!… but he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is easy to contact, very thorough in his work and explanations, and actually speaks to people like human beings (not just dollar signs!!) From the very start, I was impressed with the Trichter & LeGrand firm for their availability and detailed approach. Every other firm I called just wanted to talk fees and wasted my time meeting them. Chris, on the other hand, asked me questions about my case, gathered details, and gave me explanations of the process before even mentioning a dime!!! This is a real solid group, I would recommend this firm to anyone who gets themselves in a similar situation. -Emily

I was extremely fortunate to engage the services of Aaron White. I found him to be extremely professional and knowledgeable. He is used to the emotional stress that DWI charges can cause and he helps you through it. He and his paralegal Alyssa stay on top of everything and they respond quickly to emails or calls. Best of all, if you don't want to just cave in and do PTI, he will fight to the bitter end for you. He sifted through all the evidence (including hours of body cam footage) and found important problems with the arrest. Charges dropped, record expunged. This guy rocks!

They say a man is only as good as his word. Gary Trichter is true example of that. I was charged with 2 DWIs about a month apart. I am a veteran with multiple deployments and HAD substance abuse issues with alcohol. I'll skip the details because I finally got the help that I never wanted to seek. I had just graduated to be a Physical Therapist. I thought everything I had worked so hard for was going to be nothing but a dream. Lucky enough I got referred to Gary Trichter through a coworker. Gary had some stern instructions for me, but I followed them as he instructed. A year later, today, after going through Veterans Treatment Court both DWI cases are dismissed. I could tell Gary had my back from day one and was going to get me the help I so desperately needed. Not only are my cases dismissed, I also got pyscholgoical help to ease the pain of PTSD that I had been fighting for several years. Thank you Gary for standing by your word!

The sense of confidence I had throughout this ordeal was a blessing and was well placed! Great people and the best at what they do. I couldn't have asked for a better resolution.

When I got into trouble, I had little hope of a good outcome and honestly didn't know what attorney to hire to give me the best chance. Leslie LeGrand was recommended to me by a family member, and I can truthfully say that he and his team were a Godsend. His education and experience are unparalleled, and he made me feel like there was hope without giving me false reassurance. To break it down simply, Leslie LeGrand can do things that no other attorney can. He was miraculously able to get my case dismissed.

There's no better way to say this. Gary Trichter is a genius. For me, the stakes couldn't have been higher. My family, my career, and my future were all on the line. From the beginning, Gary told me two important things... this was going to be a long process and to trust him. At first, I was skeptical. But soon I realized he was born to do this. He showed up to one of my hearings with a folder about my case that was the size of a novel. At the time, that was all I wanted - a lawyer who really invested their time into my situation. But Gary went above and beyond. In the courtroom, he was the professor. From hard-hitting testimony with law enforcement to delicate interactions with the judge... he eloquently explained my side, and masterfully delivered on his promise. I witnessed a prosecutor shake his hand in amazement when it was all over. Gary has an incredible legal mind, and he will devote himself to your case. I recommend him to anyone who wants the best on their side.

Edward "Chris" Denuna is a miracle worker. I was going through a very rough time in my life when I finally got in touch with Chris. He was very calm and confident throughout the process and assured that I would be just fine. My case was very difficult from the start but Chris created a defendant's "mitigation" package that was extremely detailed and helped explain my situation and how I ended up in legal trouble. The DA's office reviewed all my information and gave me a much, MUCH less charge/fine/conviction than I expected. I was filled with so much joy I almost cried in the court room. I know he worked extremely hard for me and I honestly could not have asked for better legal representation. Chris is a consummate professional. Always willing to go the extra mile for his clients. Always available either by phone, email, or text. Before I met Chris I had many sleepless nights worrying about my case. After I asked Chris to handle my legal defense, I can finally sleep like a baby. Thank you Chris for your dedication and hard work. I will refer everyone I know who is in need of legal counsel.

When I was accused of a DWI I couldn't think of another law firm I wanted to try. I had heard a lot of good things about this firm and their treatment of me and handling of my case exceeded my expectations by far. Edward "Chris" Denuna took my case and showed the kind of poise and confidence that you would see from an attorney who has been doing this for over 30 years. Before the suspension hearing for my driver's license could even take place, Chris convinced the DA to dismiss the case. Chris was so systematic in dismantling their evidence the DA felt that if it were to go to trial the state would lose so he wisely tossed it.
From the time I walked in to the time I walked away from a potentially life-changing mess, every one at Trichter and Murphy was compassionate, courteous, and very professional. Start to finish I was treated with respect.
Never make the decision to drink and drive but if you make that mistake, Trichter & Murphy should be on speed dial.

When I had my accident in February of 2015, my "getting away with it" had come to an end after 30 plus years of getting away with drinking and driving. After getting out of the hospital the next morning, I immediately contacted Trichter & Murphy. To be blunt, I was very scared but I had not been arrested. I still had my license. I was very confused. It was one of the most difficult calls I have ever made. Like I said, I was scared beyond belief. I had no idea of what expect.
During that initial call, I was told exactly what to do. Immediately I felt part of the weight lift off my shoulders. I felt a small spark of "this is going to be okay". But I knew I was in for quite a haul. After the phone call and weekend, we then we set up a meeting. Gary and his team calmly explained to me what was about to happen over the course of the next 12-18 months. And they could not have been more accurate.
They informed me as to what I needed to start accumulating document wise. They explained all of the situations, restrictions, and expectations I was going to be involved with and at every stage of this nightmare. Everything from posting bond, to getting the interlock system, to getting a temp license, to navigating the court system, to the community service, to what I was looking at financially from the city, county, and state...all of which amounted to one of the biggest hassles of my life...was made that much easier with Trichter & Murphy.
They walked me through each phase, each step, the entire way. I know how serious this was and how much more serious and tragic it could have been, but having them on my side, on my team, made the whole dreadful experience a lot easier to deal with.
When I would go down to the courthouse, all I could ever think of was, "my God how many criminals are there in this city...and I am one of them!" But Gary and his team (my attorney was Leslie) helped me to understand that Yes I had made a mistake, but We were going to get through this together! As cliche as it sounds, Bad things can happen to Good people. Gary Trichter helped me to see that in me. He believed it. I began to believe it too.
Another thing that resonated with me down at the courthouse every time I went down there was the proverbial question by someone as to why I was there. I would answer, "DWI". They would inquire how many. "First", I said. They would scoff and tell me they were on their 3rd or 4th. This was something I could not fathom. For me this was a One and Done situation. And while they were great, I pray to God that I NEVER NEED TRICHTER & MURPHY AGAIN! What makes Trichter & Murphy even more special to me however, is that I know they too pray to the Good Lord above that I am never a client of theirs ever again either!
If you are reading this I can only assume that you too are a good person involved in a bad situation. For that I am very sorry. There is no easy way out, at least there was not for me. My circumstances did not indicate that I was going to elude the consequences of my actions. Maybe for they will. Trichter & Murphy made me no false promises. They did not provide me with a false hope of acquittal.
They did provide me with assurance that by following their instructions and directions that I was going to come out of this. They showed me that they had faith in me during a time in my life when not many others , including myself, did. We all, at some point in our lives, need help. They helped me. I know they can help you.

I used this law firm for a DWI I was accused of. I was pulled over on the 2014 News Year no refusal weekend and accused of driving drunk. Not only was I arrested but I was asked to give a breath test in which I refused. So the officers actually took me to the hospital and took a blood specimen from me. Usually when you refuse to blow its automatic drivers license suspension for a year I believe. Well, 2 months into my case my drivers license portion of the case was not suspended and that part of the case was dropped. Next thing I know about two months later my criminal charges of DWI was dropped as well. This is not no plea deal or nothing like that. This is case closed, no fines, no fees, no nothing. He is now helping me with the paperwork to file to expunge this charge is off my record. When you first meet with the law firm you will about pass out when they say there retainer fee is about $8,000. TAKE MY WORD FOR IT!!!!!! This has been the best $8,000 I have ever spent. I highly recommend this law firm and ask for Wes Rucker as your attorney. If you go onto their website and read his bio, you will understand this guy is definitely no fly by night lawyer. He is very educated and very very good as what he does. They handle everything and make this very uncomfortable situation very very bearable. I hope this review was helpful

I believe this background information will help provide good understanding of the professionalism that Gary demonstrates with everything he is involved in.
Twenty five years later, I now manage a corporate flight department consisting of three jets, one turbo-prop, and employ eight pilots. In June 2018, I received a disappointing phone call early one morning. One of my pilots had been pulled over and charged with a DWI. The following Monday, my pilot and I reached out to Gary and explained the situation. Gary immediately put his expertise and amazing team to task. Within a month, Gary and his team had negotiated a pretrial diversion and already set up the time to have all charges dismissed! Gary and his team handled the entire process with genuine concern as if he was a member of their family.
I would highly recommend Trichter and LeGrand to anyone, especially to those in the aviation field, as the FAA consequences can be far more reaching.

The bonus to this organization is their Paralegal who will keep you informed and up to date thank you Jessica your the greatest. If it hadn't been for you dealing with one of the toughest counties in Texas would have drove me insane. Your professinalism and dedication to yall's clients is greatly noticed and appreciated
I was arrested for DWI in Ft Worth after I allegedly failed field tests and a warrant was taken for my blood. I spoke with Gary and told him that I wanted to see the evidence in my case before deciding whether it was worth it to pay him $21k nonrefundable, because if it was a likely plea deal, that expense made no sense. Gary assured me that we'd be going to trial no matter what, and then pressured me to decide whether I'd hire him. I gave in and decided to do so based on his online reputation.
After the evidence comes in, Gary now advises me that we couldn't possibly win at trial. He is somewhat rude to me, and scolds me for my own rude behavior towards the arresting officer. That really didn't sit well with me. He advises that we should try a motion to suppress, and if that fails, plead guilty. Gary performed reasonably well at the hearing, but we lost, and I pled guilty.
I paid Gary $21k to only attended the motion to suppress hearing. He was not involved in the plea negotiations; instead he hired a local attorney to represent me. I didn't get much advice at all about what to negotiate for, and feel I did not get the best possible deal.
After I won my first appeal, which I handled myself (and which was later reversed), the trial court set a hearing. Gary informed me that he wouldn't be appearing for this, based on our contract specifying that his representation was limited to the dwi case in the trial court. I pointed out that this was still the same dwi case in the trial court, and asked for an explanation as to why this hearing was not part of his representation. I received no response.
During my appeal, it was discovered that there was an error in the court's paperwork that indicated I had no right to appeal. I contacted Gary about this, and he refused to take any responsibility for this or help me in any way to get it resolved.
I generally found Gary difficult to communicate with. I would caution anyone considering his services to reconsider.
AS a result of Mr. Denuna's efforts if I had a friend in a similar situation I would not only recommend Trichter & Murphy, but more specifically I would tell them to ask for Mr. Denuna personally to handle their case.

It has been a year since I wrote my original review of Mr. Denuna's help. I feel at this point I must update that review. If he had my highest praise on the original review it is even higher now.
After a year you would have trouble getting somebody on the phone let alone walk you through what needed to be done to get your final orders from the court. Not only did Chris help but he made a point of making sure I didn't have to go back to court. He did all this in courtesy and efficiency.
If any body I know needs legal assistance I will send them to Edward Denuna no questions asked.
So Chris thank you once again for making a terrible situation as easy as it can be made.
Sincerely,
David Siegel
I am very Satisfied.

From the very start, I was impressed with the Trichter & LeGrand firm for their availability and detailed approach. Every other firm I called just wanted to talk fees and wasted my time meeting them. Chris, on the other hand, asked me questions about my case, gathered details, and gave me explanations of the process before even mentioning a dime!!! This is a real solid group, I would recommend this firm to anyone who gets themselves in a similar situation.

Thank you Aaron!

I should also note that this outcome wouldn't have been possible without the willingness of the Fort Bend DA's office to compromise and see the whole picture. I'm grateful to them for allowing me a second chance.
I never had a problem getting in touch with this office whenever I had a question or concern. There is no judgement here, they treated me so very kindly and helped to get to the bottom of the legal troubles that I was having.
I hope to never need a lawyer again, but if I do, without a doubt, Mr. Trichter's office will be my first call.
I am so grateful for all of the hard work this office put in on my case. They will fight for you as if you're family.
From the time I walked in to the time I walked away from a potentially life-changing mess, every one at Trichter and Murphy was compassionate, courteous, and very professional. Start to finish I was treated with respect.
Never make the decision to drink and drive but if you make that mistake, Trichter & Murphy should be on speed dial.
During that initial call, I was told exactly what to do. Immediately I felt part of the weight lift off my shoulders. I felt a small spark of "this is going to be okay". But I knew I was in for quite a haul. After the phone call and weekend, we then we set up a meeting. Gary and his team calmly explained to me what was about to happen over the course of the next 12-18 months. And they could not have been more accurate.
They informed me as to what I needed to start accumulating document wise. They explained all of the situations, restrictions, and expectations I was going to be involved with and at every stage of this nightmare. Everything from posting bond, to getting the interlock system, to getting a temp license, to navigating the court system, to the community service, to what I was looking at financially from the city, county, and state...all of which amounted to one of the biggest hassles of my life...was made that much easier with Trichter & Murphy.
They walked me through each phase, each step, the entire way. I know how serious this was and how much more serious and tragic it could have been, but having them on my side, on my team, made the whole dreadful experience a lot easier to deal with.
When I would go down to the courthouse, all I could ever think of was, "my God how many criminals are there in this city...and I am one of them!" But Gary and his team (my attorney was Leslie) helped me to understand that Yes I had made a mistake, but We were going to get through this together! As cliche as it sounds, Bad things can happen to Good people. Gary Trichter helped me to see that in me. He believed it. I began to believe it too.
Another thing that resonated with me down at the courthouse every time I went down there was the proverbial question by someone as to why I was there. I would answer, "DWI". They would inquire how many. "First", I said. They would scoff and tell me they were on their 3rd or 4th. This was something I could not fathom. For me this was a One and Done situation. And while they were great, I pray to God that I NEVER NEED TRICHTER & MURPHY AGAIN! What makes Trichter & Murphy even more special to me however, is that I know they too pray to the Good Lord above that I am never a client of theirs ever again either!
If you are reading this I can only assume that you too are a good person involved in a bad situation. For that I am very sorry. There is no easy way out, at least there was not for me. My circumstances did not indicate that I was going to elude the consequences of my actions. Maybe for they will. Trichter & Murphy made me no false promises. They did not provide me with a false hope of acquittal.
They did provide me with assurance that by following their instructions and directions that I was going to come out of this. They showed me that they had faith in me during a time in my life when not many others , including myself, did. We all, at some point in our lives, need help. They helped me. I know they can help you.
