“I put my faith in Jeff Purvis, and his team! My court appointed attorney was a complete failure, who suggested he'd request being removed from my case because I asked him to request a dismissal. The case had so many things wrong with it, and even with a plaintiffs request of non-prosecution and two witnesses, my attorney tried to get me to take a plea, for something I was innocent of, even suggesting he couldn't win because of a past record and my race, and stated "It is Brazoria County!" I had 8 months unable to work at regular job because it was already showing on a background check. Just out of surgery, not making money, and this too!”- David R.

“My case was dismissed very quickly because of Jeff’s due diligence and knowledge of the law. This was a very stressful time but I felt better once I met with Jeff and ultimately the outcome was my case dismissed which was just. Thanks again to Jeff and his team.”- Ricky S.

“I found Crenshaw & Purvis beginning of 2024, about 6 months from when the “assault” I was accused of took place. I was terrified, never had a criminal history, and the way society is going right now, I thought I would be guilty without a doubt, no matter the circumstances. As someone who isn’t easily trusting, I put full trust and full faith in Jeff Purvis and Paralegal Brittany Young, and they did exactly what they said they were gonna do. #NOTGUILTY. I cried to them tears of joy and hugs galore lol, will never forget Jeff and Brittany, the sweetest and the realest!!!!”- Alaisha H.

Advocating for Your Child's Future
When it comes to your family, we want to ensure that your child's rights are fully protected. Oftentimes, the justice system tends to treat juveniles as criminals just because they made a simple mistake. Furthermore, undercover cops at schools are actively looking for students who are breaking the law, rarely giving them the opportunity to make amends. This makes for situations where a simple mistake that many of us made when we were teenagers potentially lead to fines and juvenile detention.
