When you invest in a lawyer for a criminal or family law dispute, you make a choice that could change your life. We know that choosing a lawyer can feel like putting your future in someone else's hands, and it's not a responsibility we take lightly.

We could talk all day about how we've handled more than 18,000 cases or have more than half a decade of combined experience, but we'd rather let our clients do the talking. Below, you can find out what the people we work with have to say about us.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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 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!

  • 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!

  • 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!!

  • He was prompt, respectful, knowledgeable, and willing to help figure out what I needed with little to no cost.
    Mr. Cofer was consulted for additional information needed for a possible charge on my child. He was prompt, respectful, knowledgeable, and willing to help figure out what I needed with little to no cost. Thank god no charges came about from the situation and Mr. Cofer was the first to let me know! I thank you so much for all your help and would recommend you to anyone!!

  • 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!
