A boutique Dallas criminal defense firm led by Mike Goolsby, a former Assistant District Attorney for Dallas County. After years prosecuting cases for the DA's office, Goolsby opened his defense practice in 1999. The firm has been voted Best Criminal Defense Lawyer by D Magazine, holds an AVVO 10/10 rating, and focuses heavily on DWI cases — Dallas County's most aggressively prosecuted criminal offense.
Mike Goolsby spent the early years of his career prosecuting DWI and felony cases for the Dallas County District Attorney. Since 1999, he has been on the other side of the courtroom defending them. That former-prosecutor background is the firm's primary value — Goolsby knows which assistant DAs will go to trial, which will negotiate, and what the office's internal valuation of a case looks like. The firm is solo-led; you work directly with Mike Goolsby. Best fit for first-offense DWI, repeat DWI, drug possession, and assault cases where you want a hands-on defender who knows Dallas County prosecutors.
The Goolsby Law Firm uses flat-fee pricing for most criminal matters. The fee covers all court appearances, motion practice, and trial through verdict (or pre-trial resolution). Initial consultation is free.
Got pulled over leaving Uptown. Blew a 0.09. Goolsby filed for the breath-test calibration records, found a maintenance gap, and the DA dismissed. I got the case expunged. Couldn't ask for more.
Domestic assault charge from a chaotic situation. Mike investigated, got the alleged victim's statement walked back, and the case was dropped. He treats the case like it matters because for me it did.
Cocaine possession charge with no clean way out. Goolsby got me into pretrial diversion. Did the program, case dismissed, no record. Knew which DA to talk to.
Tell The Goolsby Law Firm about your charges. Free initial consultation. ALR (license suspension) hearings must be requested within 15 days of arrest — call immediately if you've been arrested for DWI.
