My case was incredibly delicate, nuanced, and unique. For a while, I faced the possibility of deportation, jail time, and a 5-figure fine as a college student. I had already signed a confession and the prosecution was acting on behalf of the state and an individual hard-pressed for vengeance. This meant my team - Benjamin Blackburn and Daniel Betts had to be in damage control from the get go. The case stretched for about 3.5 years and they were able to get it concluded with a sealing of my records, no jail time, reduction in the official crime to just a deferred adjudication while halving my probation down to a year. The case was tricky with changes in judicial personnel, having to play with waiting game, me having to recruit, handle college but Benjamin and Daniel were on top of their game. They were honest without being derisive or blunt. They were street-smart and informed without being scheming. They were able to leverage their experience even though this case was one of its kind. They did a good job of answering my numerous questions, entertaining my scenarios, keeping me up to date, and keeping my court visits to a minimum. Benjamin and Daniel are well-connected, have good knowledge of fellow lawyers and judges. The very first day when I visited them (they were recommended to me by an acquaintance), they insisted on me visiting other law firms to do my due diligence. We were able to come up with a damage control strategy to keep me in the country for me to finish my degree, and now be a productive member of the work force. Now, there is a chance another law firm could have gotten me the same result as Ben and Dan but it's not just about where they took the case to its conclusion but also how they took it there. Being an international student, I was under considerable distress and their understated confidence was a big calming influence to me. They do not view you as just another client. They remember details about classes you have taken, anything else relevant in your life and these things cannot be faked or forced. I highly recommend anyone scouring the net to know that Ben and Dan will take care of your case and you will be in good hands. read more

A True Victory - And a Law Firm That Fought for Me If you're looking for an attorneys who actually believes in you and will fight like hell for your freedom, look no further. I was falsely accused and framed for a crime I didn't commit--a crime I was actually the victim of. I had just turned 36 when everything came crashing down. I had never been in trouble before, and I was terrified. From day one, Daniel and the entire team treated me with patience, compassion, and respect. They never made it all about the money--they listened to my story, and they cared. They worked together as a team, and you could feel it. No laziness, no pressure to take a plea deal, no being passed off to someone else. Just real people fighting for justice. My case took 7 months, and I'll be honest--I wasn't the easiest client. But they stuck with me. They believed in me when the system didn't. And today, I get to say we WON. If your freedom, your record, or your name are on the line, trust me: these are the people you want behind you. They were my angels in justice. read more

My experience with The Blackburn Betts Office of Law was amazing. They helped me beat my case and got me off probation early including all of my probation and court room fees cleared. On top of that I received an apology from the prosecutor saying that they were sorry and that I should have never been arrested. To Ben and Daniels surprise they said that was the first time that they've ever heard that before from a prosecutor. The team from Blackburn Betts office was nothing more than professional. From the initial consultation all the way up to the time of court the communication was very transparent. If you are looking for an attorney that is going to do what they say they'll do, then this is the place for you! The professionalism that this firm offers totally exceeded my expectations. Thank you! read more

I would highly recommend Blackburn and his office. Very professional staff that always kept me updated & informed of court dates. I violated felony probation twice on 2 seperate occasions both felony charges and got reinstated both times. The first time I got reinstated the lawyer that was representing me said I was going to prison I fired her and hired Blackburn which was a completely different vibe I felt very confident in court with him he's well known and respected. My freedom was on the line with serious consequences and he saved my future twice. Hands down he's the realist attorney in Austin he won't sugar coat nothing very straight foward & honest If your in serious trouble and want a lawyer thats worth investing in Blackburn is your guy. read more

Best two criminal attorneys in Austin, without a doubt. I recommend them to anyone who must interact with the criminal justice system. They represented me in 10 cases over several years in Travis and Hays counties. I am certain that I was able to get the best possible outcome because of their expertise, relationships with prosecutors and judges, and their willingness to accept nothing but the best outcome for me as their client. 3 felonies reduced (including a DWI), 3 charges dismissed, and a few very favorable plea agreements later, I consider myself lucky to have hired them. I wish I would have used Ben and Dan on previous cases instead of the high priced attorneys that couldn't touch the results I got with Blackburn Betts. read more

A team of caring individuals that are passionate, reasonable, dependable with a strong "backbone" in court! Consistently went above and beyond to help me out as a client. During this awful experience, from initially cold calling them late in the night they were there hours later doing a face to face meeting with me on my unfortunate situation standing by with possible options. They also kept my family informed and walked me through the process and possible actions to take. Never had an unanswered call and will be with you through the end! While in jail they came by every day and kept me posted on all elements of the case from DA's offices to Judges. They will always be there for you 24/7! Highly recommended! read more
