These comments were made by fellow attorneys during the annual nomination process.
“She is Dallas' best DWI attorney. Amazing woman, wife, mother, and attorney.”
“There are a lot of lawyers who handle criminal defense. There are a lot of lawyers who handle DWI's. Deandra Grant LITERALLY wrote the book that they all use. Deandra is one of the top-five DWI attorneys in the state of Texas. To not have Deandra on the list of Super Lawyers only diminishes the credibility of the list of Super Lawyers. Deandra is on the forefront of the DWI legal industry. She has credentials and certifications that most DWI attorneys haven't even heard of. She not only has taken the courses, she's written and teaches most of the courses out there. I have no hesitation recommending Deandra Grant to my clients, friends or family if any of them ever face a DWI. She makes it easy to recommend her. When a client, friend or family needs DWI representation, I don't have to give them three names I only have to give them hers. There are four DWI attorneys in our area that I recommend. Deandra is the best.”
“Deandra is at the forefront of the criminal bar and has immersed herself in the science behind toxicology and forensic testing to the point that she is not only an effective advocate for her clients, but a go-to for other defense attorney's seeking help defending their clients.”
