client reviews
“My son was excused of a crime that he didn’t do. I did not have any money to hire a lawyer. I was so blessed to receive Rick Cofer as my court appointed lawyer. He literally fought day and night getting evidence and staying on top of the district attorney office to prove my son was innocent. During the very difficult year of waiting on court dates and evidence to be processed I gotta admit I gave him a hard time about everything. I am a mother and worrying is what I do when it comes to my loved ones. Rick and his team put my mind at ease and came through. If y’all ever need a attorney please consider RICK COFER and his team. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING.”

“Any legal issue can feel overwhelming, but Rick made every step clear and straightforward. From day one we had someone on our side. The attention to detail and genuine compassion with which he handled our case made all the difference in the world. He navigated a complex situation with ease, and went the extra mile without hesitation. Through every conversation Rick, Alex, and his team were extremely knowledgeable and reassuring. To say they are amazing would be an understatement. If you want a team who has your back, who will fight hard for you, who truly cares about you this is the one!”

“I contacted Rick in searching for an attorney who could assist with a felony case I was arrested for in Austin. After the initial consultation, I knew I was in good hands as he assured me the best possible outcome of a dismissal in my case. I in turn hired Mr. Cofer to represent me in court. As I was leaving his office, he assured me several times to stay positive and believe he could do what his best intentions were, which was exactly what he did. He represented me in 4 court hearings and achieved what he said he would, a DISMISSAL! I would highly recommend Rick Cofer to any family or friends with the need to be represented legally.”

Mr. Cofer’s expertise and efforts resulted in both charges being dismissed. My appreciation and referral are offered in thanks!”

“Rick came to my rescue when I encountered a very traumatic experience due to a construction situation at my apartment complex.

He was empathetic, succinct with negotiations and overall a consummate professional. Highly recommended!”

“I was getting the run around on a minor issue with a local court and asked Rick if he knew what the best way to handle it would be. He immediately offered to help and took care of it quickly, which wasn’t what I was expecting him to do, but greatly appreciate that he did. I contacted Rick first because he knows just about everyone in the local legal community, and more importantly, those people like and trust him, which goes a long way. Rick is smart, thorough, and honest, and you could do a lot worse if you’re in need of legal counsel.”

“I consulted w/Mr. Cofer on a severe personal injury case which occurred out of state. The thorough advise he gave is so much more than I have received from other attorneys. He has given me the ability to move forward with hiring an out of state attorney, which unfortunately is required by law. I would be extremely confident in Mr. Cofer handling my case. He is thinks outside the box, something I’ve not found with other attorneys. He’s wise, easy to talk to and listens well.”
