Canlas Defense, Richard Martin P. Canlas, Attorney at Law

Richard Canlas, Esq., turns the worst day of your life into the best day of your life. This is second time I've retained him legally, and God willing will be the last time I need to, but I know Who I'm going to call without a moment hesitation, if it gets to the point where I need a legal represent again. If you get tangled up in the Texas legal system, even a little bit, even for something fairly innocuous, and you care about your reputation, then the money spent with him is well placed. There's some truth to the old saying that you get what you pay for but with Richard you always get a little bit extra and you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend him. I've known him for decades and he knows the system up there in Conroe, and he knows where to apply pressure and when to apply pressure and I think that if I aspired to be a lawyer, he would be One of my role models! Sincerely, RC

Mr. Canlas is a highly intelligent, dedicated, and hard working attorney. He fought for and stood by my son in his darkest hour. He is ethical, compassionate, and is able to think on his feet. Words cannot express my gratitude to him for obtaining justice for my son.

Honesty. Integrity. Transparency. Richard Canlas represented my husband better than I could have ever imagined. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained, My husband's life was truly at risk with the charge he was facing (first-degree felony murder) even tho it was a self defense case the DA was out to take my husband life away. Richard NEVER gave up and worked countless hours on his case, and was always very patient, and professional! We became a family because we cummunicated so much throughout this process, Richard showed his true emotional towards my husband's life and that was our main goal for choosing amazing attorney. Richard and his team put so much preparation into the case I couldn't have asked for anything more! I was particularly impressed with his knowledge of the process and his straightforward advice. He's been doing this for some time and has not only good lawyer instincts but hard earned wisdom. In the trial phase it was clear how thoroughly Richard and his team had prepared, he accepted our case knowing it would be a tough one. He showed compassion for us and the trauma my husband and I had both been through I highly recommend Richard Canlas. He's a WINNER!!!! My husband can still have his life with his 3 daughters and wife again thanks to Richard and his team!!!

We are so grateful to Mr. Canlas for the excellent handling of our sons case. We had to make sure the right attorney represented our son whom was not only facing erroneous felony charges, but whom had made the mistake of talking willingly to police before obtaining an attorney (never do even when innocent!) After researching and interviewing a few other criminal law attorneys, whom were highly capable, we hired Richard by the end of our first meeting. His immediate attention and keen knowledge of the legalities of the situation and the avenues to investigate, dispute and apply the best strategy was beyond impressive! He kept my son informed and prepared and had my son's full respect throughout the time and process. 100% sure he was the best and right attorney for our son! Mr. Canlas pursued and won a complete DISMISSAL of the case!!! Highly, highly recommend him!!

Richard Canlas immediately responded after being contacted and hired and began gathering all information needed to forestall false charges and arrest. He kept us well informed and was available to answer all questions regarding the process. I can never thank him enough for preventing the destruction of my son's life. I would recommend Mr. Canlas to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated attorney.
