Will you work well with a particular Houston criminal attorney? How can you know?
While there is no definitive way to guarantee that you are hiring someone who fits what you want from a lawyer, you can get a sense of what they are like on a case. How? By reading reviews and testimonials from past clients that they have helped.
One of the clearest signs that the attorney you are considering is good at their job is to look at the reviews on their site. More than this, these testimonials often include examples of why specific clients liked them – from their ability to communicate clearly to their clever strategies and efficiency on the case.
Mr. Fickman, Once again thank you for everything you did for me. You saved my life. A.B.
Robert, Thank you for your hard work, dedication and compassion. You are forever in our hearts. T. and D.W.
Robert, We want you to know how grateful we are for God bringing you into our lives-we thank you for believing in us and for your expert knowledge that helped win our “Not Guilty” verdict – the check is for you to enjoy with your boys for the time you had to give up weekends with them to work on our case – we will never forget you – Your special Friends, F. and P.D.
Dear Robert, I think you charge too much… but I also think you’re worth it! Thanks for everything. Respectfully, E.D.
Robert, I also have no words to express my thankfulness for your hard work the past 9 months. I thank God for putting you in our family’s path M.G.
Robb successfully defended me against a felony dwi. His knowledge of not only the system but the judges and prosecutors proved invaluable in my case. This was no easy case. He stuck with me and fought the injustices the justice system was saddling me with. After going through the legal system and seeing how it is stacked against the accused from the get go, there is no other lawyer I would want in my corner when the going gets rough and seemingly impossible. Robb not only saved me from a career ending felony, he also saved my marriage and relationship with my newborn son. I am more than thankful for this lawyer and genuinely good man. D.S.
Rob, Where do I start-you have made such a difference in my life. Honest. I truly thank you… Your talented mind, and your hard work won our case, Wow! You have made a girl utterly happy! Your favorite client. H.V.
I don’t have words to express my gratitude for all you have done for me and my family. Thank you for being there and believing in me. Sincerely M.G.
What do you give a person who has it “all”? By “all” I do not imply material things. By “all” I refer to the amazing virtues the good Lord bestowed upon you and that you practice with such resoluteness. I want you to know that I will forever be grateful for all the generosity and benevolence you showed my son and me. I am sure that all those Noble qualities you possess will not go unnoticed in the eyes of God. J.K.
I have had the pleasure of working with Rob Fickman – Criminal lawyer extraordinaire!!! Not only is Rob excellent at his job, working with him is delightful. He’s always there when you need him, even if he has to call you at night or weekends. Rob keeps the client and staff person well informed and constantly updated. Staff can always count on him to answer any question we have, even if he’s not handling the case. Our members speak extremely high of Rob. To top it off, he’s got a great sense of humor. And most important for our members and TSTA, he wins. S.P., Texas State Teachers Association (TSTA)
There are no Words available to express how thankful I am to you for all your hard work, professionalism, exceptional legal skill, care and dedication to J.M’s case… I also want you to know that I was impressed as were the other teachers with your tenacity on the case. If I ever have a need for legal services you can be assured I’ll call you first. I also want to thank you for helping me clear up my problem… That went beyond the call of duty and I appreciated it greatly. Thanks is inadequate, but it’s all I can think of so, Thank You, Thank you, Thank You!!! God bless you richly! D.A.
Dear Mr.Fickman, This certainly deserves to be the longest letter I’ve sent, although it isn’t even close. I hope it conveys a small degree of the appreciation and thankfulness I will always have for all your hard work helping me. I was extremely lucky and honored to have you as my lawyer, to represent and fight for me. I know it wasn’t what you planned on getting yourself into when you took the case. I imagine what was supposed to be a typical weekend hike ended up in time and effort, seeming closer to trying to scale Mt. Everest. Unfortunately, I now realize that would have been an easier task, since it was an impossible case to win. I admire greatly all the energy you nevertheless were willing to devote to trying…despite the complexities that arose you never did just what was required, or merely a good job. But always did the absolute best and everything possible. That is what allowed me to be at peace no matter what happened. I thank you greatly for letting me have that feeling, it is priceless. …I hope you know all your efforts did make a difference to my life… Thank you for giving so much of yourself to allow me to have those days with my family and starting over. I will forever be thankful and appreciative of your devotion and caring. N.L.
Thank you so much! I really mean it from the bottom of my heart. R.A.

First of all I want to thank you for the professional manner that you represented me… I ask God for your life that he may continue giving you knowledge to represent people that are in the same situation, and help them get relief from this wicked government. C.C.
