Absolutely the most talented lawyer in the country. Jim is easily the most intelligent person I've ever met. He was able to take an extremely complicated case and immediately grasp every detail and nuance. He has a photographic memory for facts and for the law. He has a tireless work ethic -- o ften putting in "all-nighters" as new facts became available. His courtroom experience, presence and prowess are beyond reproach -- he is equally adept at winning over juries as he is at winning procedural points with judges. Additionally, he is able to go the extra mile for his clients by walking them through every step of the legal process before the events unfold. Jim makes sure his clients and the families are fully prepared for every facet. If you need a lawyer, this is the first man you should contact and the only call you'll need to make. He is truly the best in the business and deeply cares for his clients, their families, and obtaining the best possible outcome.

Mr. Lavine represented me for over 7 years with an incredibly difficult and challenging case. Technically, he had a tremendous understanding of the law and explained it to me in ways that I could understand it. He was creative in how he looked at my case, carefully researching all the angles, alway s giving me good advice and counsel. He never 'left a stone unturned'. Thorough and exhaustive would characterize his research skills. Integrity wasn't just something he spoke about - he lived it. His character and integrity are very important to him. Lastly, he treated me like family. His personal touch was so important to me and my family. I knew early on in my case that Mr. Lavine was a top notch lawyer who knew the law inside and out - what I later learned (and what was the most important thing to me) was what a fine man he was. I trusted him with my life and he never let me down. My case was a very high profile, challenging case - one that required countless hours of hard work and 'hand holding'. I can't say enough of Mr. Lavine - a tremendous lawyer with the personal touch.

I was charged with a 1st degree felony and hired a lawyer I found on the list of Houston's Top Lawyers. Long story short, I did not feel like he was handling my case adequately and decided to hire Paul. To put it frankly, it was one of the best decisions of my life. From the second I first spoke to h im through the dismissal of my case, I could not have been more pleased with the way he treated me and my case. He does not waiver at all and is willing to do whatever it takes to produce the best outcome for his clients. I will forever be grateful for Mr. Doyle and cannot give a higher recommendation for a criminal defense attorney.
