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

Rick came to my rescue when I encountered a very traumatic experience due to a construction situation at my apartment complex. He was a listening ear after the incident occurred, counseled me on how I should involve the authorities, evaluated my case and explained my options, and helped me reach a resolution with the complex. He was empathetic, succinct with negotiations and overall a consummate professional. Highly recommended!

Exceptional Lawyer. I hired Jeffrey as my divorce attorney, and I am so grateful that I found someone so professional and knowledgeable about the process. He was easy to work with, and I never felt like I was without guidance or left in the dark about what the next step might be. He knew we had to get this done in a timely manner, and he stuck by his word to follow through with that. He was honest, hard-working, and dedicated to meeting all of my needs during this stressful time. I highly recommend him, and if I ever need a lawyer in the future, I will definitely call him back.

"In the end, his timeframe was right and the charge was dropped. I couldn't imagine going through this journey without both his legal expertise and heartfelt compassion."

I couldn't be happier with my experience at Cofer and Connelly. The first time I spoke with Rick Cofer, he took time to show care and compassion for my situation before assuring me there was a positive path forward. Rick clearly explain the legal process and the strategy he would employ. He was honest about the time it would take to resolve my case and never wavered from his steadfast belief the charge would be dropped. During this time, Rick provided updates, responded to my calls and continued to be a source of support through one of the most difficult times in my life. In the end, his timeframe was right and the charge was dropped. I couldn't imagine going through this journey without both his legal expertise and heartfelt compassion.

"I am convinced that this is the best criminal defense team in Austin and probably in all of Texas."

Hands down this is the team you want on your side. I went through several ultra-high-end law firms and legendary Texas attorneys only to find them lacking in certain areas, especially in regard to communication. The first thing you will notice about Rick and his team aside from them being friendly, is that he is hyper-intelligent and clearly Mensa material. The second thing you will notice is that this entire team will be highly communicative with high attention to detail. The third thing you will notice is that they are extremely organized and modern with their approach. Unlike other high-end law firms, this experience will continue past the point of payment. Many law firms will ghost you or have terrible communication after you have paid them which leads to instant buyers remorse, and is likely to lead to severe psychological stress and depression; this is simply not the case with Rick, instead you will find his team to be extremely salubrious. So instead of worrying about doomsday scenarios, you can instead focus on your life and on your work. Another thing is that this team has been working within Travis County for a very long time, since they know everyone you will always have a good measure of where your case stands. I am convinced that this is the best criminal defense team in Austin and probably in all of Texas. Don't gamble with your freedom, it's not worth the risk. Rick is a hungry attorney; he clearly wants to change the game with his thoughtful and calculated approach to running his firm and his relentless approach to defending his clients. It doesn't get any more top-shelf than this.

"I would highly recommend his services and I would hire him again in a heart beat!"

I was in need of an attorney and I had no clue of who to consult with. After countless hours of searching, we came upon Rick Cofer's name. In the beginning of the conversation, I knew we had reached the right attorney. From the onset Rick was very efficient and professional. He maintained consistent contact with me and made sure I understood the process. He made it clear from the beginning that there were no guarantees of a dismissal but he would work his hardest to get one. Throughout the entire process, I did not have to appear in court, he handled everything!
He worked very hard and with his expertise got my case dismissed. I will be eternally grateful for his guidance through this unfortunate experience. I would highly recommend his services and I would hire him again in a heart beat!

"If I ever need anything in the future, they will be the first people I will call."

I was recently represented by Rick Cofer and his amazing wonderful team. I’ve never been in trouble before and was honestly scared and worried of how things were doing to turn out and didn’t know what to expect throughout this whole process. Rick, Megan and Kevin were just absolutely wonderful. They always kept me informed on what was going on with my case every step of the way which helped keep me positive and hopeful throughout this whole thing. I can’t say thank you enough to him and his team and if I ever, ever need anything in the future, they will be the first people I will call. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney, down to his team and their wonderful attitudes. They most definitely helped keep my stress at a minimum when it came to my cases. I highly, highly recommend these amazing, wonderful people.

"I would recommend Mr. Cofer for any legal issues that one might have, and I could not be more fond of his work."

I was arrested for a misdemeanor possession charge in Gillespie country summer 2020 and hired Mr. Cofer the day of my release. He was prompt in giving incredible advice to my family and I, and worked to improve the situation every step of the way. His work was both thorough and expeditious throughout the entire process and my case ended in a dismissal. Rick Cofer is an incredible attorney and more than reasonable with pricing for the amount of work that he did for me. I would recommend Mr. Cofer for any legal issues that one might have, and I could not be more fond of his work.

Mr. Cofer is not only a great lawyer but a cool guy. He was able to get all 3 of my charges dismissed. 2 felonies and a misdemeanor. Its great to have my record clean again and now I can get back to my life. I would use Mr. Cofer as my lawyer for any reason if needed and would refer him to a friend.

"Rick Cofer changed my life."

Yes. You are reading this review because you have found yourself in need of a lawyer. If you are like me, you have your concerns. It is not until you need a lawyer that you realize how helpless you are. I felt helpless. I realized that I did not fully understand the law and its purpose. This is not because I was in jeopardy of having my life altered by incarceration, but because I was going to witness my friend, my companion, a father, a brother, a worker become a victim to a system that has been flawed and inconsistent. My friend had a lawyer that was suggested to him. He was a lawyer that had been dealing in Giddings County for a while but for all the money that my friend was investing in that lawyer, it seemed that nothing could be done. Until he decided to find another lawyer, that lawyer was Rick Cofer. Now, my friend is home with his family because of Rick Cofer. We can all breathe without fear because of Rick Cofer. Rick Cofer changed my life because we chose to seek a second opinion and not to go with the lawyer from Giddings TX. Thank you, Cofer! Thank you for your support!

He was prompt, respectful, knowledgeable, and willing to help figure out what I needed with little to no cost.

"With immense appreciation, I call on anyone in need of legal aid to give Rick a call with a tremendous level of confidence for resolve."

My legal issue centered on a political banner that I hung on my private property outside of city limits. I was issued multiple tickets rather rudely and intrusively until I would take it down. Having different political views, Rick Cofer enthusiastically worked to stand by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution of America, my inherent right that I honorably served this country for in having my tickets dropped. In the process, Rick and his staff maintained exceptional communication, executed impartial service to my case, and went above and beyond my expectations throughout. With immense appreciation, I call on anyone in need of legal aid to give Rick a call with a tremendous level of confidence for resolve. Thank you, Rick, Cofer & Connelly for everything at no charge!!

"His guidance was exemplary, and I am truly thankful that I had him on my side."

Rick literally saved my life! I was in danger of losing my job due to a felony charge. He expediently reduced the charge to a misdemeanor and negotiated a plea deal that will allow this terrible situation to be dismissed and expungement will be permitted! He was always encouraging, down to earth, and showed me how to walk through each step of this process with confidence. His guidance was exemplary, and I am truly thankful that I had him on my side. I will always be eternally grateful!

"Rick has proven to me that there are trustworthy people in the world and I am happy to have gotten both of my cases dismissed."

Having Rick Cofer from Cofer & Connelly has been a blessing and a great experience. I know having a great experience while having a looming case over your head sounds strange, but that is exactly how I feel. I was arrested and thrown into jail for a misdemeanor assault charge and a felony assault charge on a peace officer. While figuring out my options in jail, I was surprised to have a visit from Rick. He said I had nothing to worry about. He even came and visited me in Sedona AZ, where I was sent post bail. Trust is something I don't normally provide to people, my viewpoint is not to trust anyone, I learned that in business and from my MBA program. However, Rick has proven to me that there are trustworthy people in the world and I am happy to have gotten both of my cases dismissed. This is why I feel this was a great experience with this individual and his team. Thank you again!

"If you want a team who has your back, who will fight hard for you, who truly cares about you this is the one!"

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!

"Rick and his team put my mind at ease and came through."

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's 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 an attorney please consider RICK COFER and his team. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING

"Don't do it alone, put your mind at ease with help from very knowledgeable and friendly people who are genuinely concerned with the outcome of your situation."

Cofer & Connelly has a very friendly staff. I was very impressed with how responsive and supportive they all were. Megan and Heather walked me through everything I needed in order to take care of my case and helped to keep my mind at ease. I would definitely recommend Rick and his team to anyone who needs help with the unfortunate situation of dealing with the courts. Don't do it alone, put your mind at ease with help from very knowledgeable and friendly people who are genuinely concerned with the outcome of your situation.

"Terrific and amazing job on handling my case!"

The Rick and Cofer team has done a wonderful job of taking care of my case. On behalf of all the things going on through the time of my case, we’ve managed to dismiss the case in a period of time. It has been a long journey and process, but I can finally say thank you Cofer & Connelly for backing me up on this lengthy process that we were able to dismiss. Terrific and amazing job on handling my case!

"10/10 would recommend to anybody looking for a straightforward, hardworking lawyer to fight their case."

Mr. Cofer was assigned to me as a court-appointed attorney. In the past, I have had poor/sub-par experiences with court-appointed attorneys, but this time was far from that. Mr. Cofer and his team went above and beyond to get my case resolved, and ultimately got all 3 of my charges dismissed. The crazy part too was the fact that they made it so easy! I literally had to do nothing other than to check in with my pre-trial officer and stay out of trouble while they fought my case. I never actually had to go into court physically myself, they always went on my behalf. They talked to all the people they needed to until it ended up getting dismissed. Well done on their part especially considering they were a court-appointed attorney for me. 10/10 would recommend to anybody looking for a straightforward, hardworking lawyer to fight their case. Thanks a lot, Mr. Cofer!

"I wish I would have found Mr. Cofer sooner!"

I wish I would have found Mr. Cofer sooner!!! Having never dealt with the criminal/juvenile system, I had no idea was I was dealing with. I thought hiring the only attorney that was certified in juvenile law in Bell County would be the best attorney to help my son. Unfortunately, it was the worst mistake I’ve probably ever made. When my son had to go back to court our previous experience made me super hesitant to retain another attorney. It took less than 2 weeks to know I couldn’t have found a better attorney. Between Heather having previous experience as a juvenile corrections officer & Mr. Cofer’s knowledge, they are truly a dream team! They went to the detention facility to see my son within days of retaining them, always kept me updated on what was going on & I was able to reach Heather or Rick every time I called. Heather even called regularly to check on my son & encourage him! Most importantly, Rick got my son out of detention almost immediately (they were dead set on holding him in detention) & ended up getting everything dropped, without my son or I even having to go to court! Do not let previous experiences or cost make you hesitant to retain Mr. Cofer. I can assure you that not all attorneys are equal & you likely won’t get a 2nd chance at fighting the charges.

"They are incredible at what they do and will always do their best to get the most ideal outcome for you."

They are incredible at what they do and will always do their best to get the most ideal outcome for you.
