The Medlin Law Firm

The Medlin Law Firm is a criminal defense practice led by Gary L. Medlin, who has been licensed in Texas since 1983. The firm focuses exclusively on criminal defense for people across Texas, with offices in Fort Worth and Dallas. They describe their mission as protecting rights and freedom through honest guidance and preparation rather than big promises.

The firm serves clients facing a wide range of Texas criminal matters, including DWI offenses, intoxication assault or manslaughter allegations, drug crimes, assault and domestic violence, theft offenses, gun and weapons charges, and probation violations. They also handle murder and other serious violent crime accusations. Their practice is built around the idea that every criminal case involves a real person with real consequences.

The firm operates from two specific office locations: 1300 S University Dr #318 in Fort Worth, TX 76107, and 2550 Pacific Ave #866 in Dallas, TX 75226. They emphasize that they serve clients throughout the entire state from these two base locations.

The firm highlights that they have 73 years of combined experience defending Texans in criminal cases. Gary L. Medlin has been Board Certified in Criminal Law, and the firm positions itself as having an exclusive focus on criminal defense with no other type of law.

The firm states that their phones are answered live 24/7 and they speak English, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Russian. They offer a free evaluation for potential clients who contact them.

The firm warns clients about scams targeting people after a bond is posted or those told they missed jury duty or have a warrant. They note that scammers often demand payment through PayPal, Zelle, Bitcoin, or gift cards, and advise confirming any payment demands directly with their office or the court first.

The firm states that police are allowed to lie to suspects and frequently do so by leading them to believe they already have evidence. They also mention that the punishment for assault in Texas depends on the level of the offense and the harm caused.

The firm mentions that many jurisdictions, particularly Tarrant County, have diversion programs for first-time offenders that can divert them from court. They also note that their firm does not demand payments through informal apps like Bitcoin or gift cards.

The firm describes their leadership as being led by Gary L. Medlin, the Managing Attorney and Founder. They emphasize that their team prepares cases with a mindset that every criminal case involves a real person, shaping how they communicate and show up in court.

The firm's website includes a section on 'Mistakes People Make During Assault Cases In Fort Worth' and notes that common errors to avoid are a key part of their guidance for clients in that specific area.

The firm's practice areas include drug crimes, where they note that facing legal charges can have devastating consequences for both immediate criminal punishments and long-term personal and professional lives.

The firm provides a specific phone number for their Dallas office: (214) 888-4810, and a separate number for their Fort Worth office: (682) 204-4066. They also provide a text message opt-out number for their contact forms.

The firm's Trustburn rating is currently 1 out of 5 based on 1 review from July 2024. The single review complained about terrible service, lacking attention to the case, and poor communication.

Reddit discussions from mid-2026 describe the firm as a premium tier option with five board-certified specialists, over 700 combined jury trials, and former prosecutors on staff, positioning it against DWI mills and solo practitioners.
