Cofer & Connelly, PLLC - Austin, TX

Having found myself in serious legal trouble for the first time I was very intimidated and unsure what to do next. Luckily, we found Cofer & Connelly. Liz and Merissa were excellent to work with throughout the entire process. They were very quick with communications to keep us up to date and let us know what to expect at each step in the process. Ultimately, we ended up getting the end result we wanted just as Liz had originally anticipated. I can’t thank Liz and Merissa and the Cofer & Connelly team for the support and professionalism in helping resolve my legal issues. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs legal assistance.

Natalia Tsokos and Lexie Walker are the best they were super helpful and kind to me through this entire process I?ll always be grateful to them!

Very professional, timely. Excellent communication and outstanding results!

I was very pleased with the result of my case, and even more pleased with my attorney. Natalia Tsokos was amazing, she had the utmost respect, professionalism, work ethic, and care that I?ve ever seen. She also had amazing communication. Everyone else I spoke to as well was very nice and helpful.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Natalia Tsokos on my criminal defense case, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her exceptional service. Over the six months she worked on my case, Natalia exhibited the utmost professionalism, putting my mind at ease during an incredibly stressful time. Natalia handled my case with remarkable expertise and precision. She consistently communicated with me, keeping me informed and reassured throughout the process. Lexi was also fantastic in providing consistent and clear communication. Her timely updates and thorough explanations were incredibly helpful in keeping me informed and at ease. She took care of everything seamlessly, allowing me to focus on my personal well-being while she managed the complexities of my case. Her efforts culminated in the dismissal of my charges, a testament to her skill and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. If you need a criminal defense attorney who is not only highly competent but also genuinely cares about her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Natalia Tsokos. Her professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support were instrumental in the successful resolution of my case. I am incredibly grateful for their assistance.

To anyone who needs a good lawyer go to rick coffer , he's amazing , he stuck with me through the years i had to battle with my cases and did a wonderful job fighting for me , he cares about his clients and situations they go through and will show up every time.

Cofer & Connelly undoubtedly is the ONLY legal representation you want on your side when facing the law. The amount of experience they have and accolades tell only half of their story. From the beginning this firm explained exactly what would happen, their strategic approach, and assuredly how they would achieve successful results in time. As long as I remained patient (TRUST ME I CALLED OFTEN) they'd get it done. EXACTLY as planned, they accomplished ULTIMATE RESULTS. I wouldn't TRUST any other firm except Cofer & Connelly!

I am so happy and relieved that Rick Cofer was my attorney! I felt confident in his abilities and was not disappointed. Rick knew exactly how to handle my case and just what steps needed to be taken and when to get the desired outcome. Working with him and Heather Hellums I felt that they took the time to get to know me on a personal level and trusted them wholeheartedly. Rick and Heather consistently communicated with me throughout this case and exceeded my expectations. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for them both and to have had the opportunity to work with them!

Merissa Johnson and Mark Pryor were helpful, professional, and kind during the whole process. Merissa was quick and clear when answering my emails, calls, and concerns. I would highly recommend this team to others.

I was not to sure what to expect considering this was my first criminal offense (allegedly). I had two VERY difficult charges against me (judge originally set no bond etc). Despite the unfortunate circumstances throughout the entire process the team was helpful and supportive. They all worked efficiently and effectively. Liz is very knowledgeable, attentive, and excellent with communicating course of action. Ultimately, Liz’s brilliant work on building a solid defense got my cases dismissed! Megan did a fantastic job with ensuring my bond paperwork was set straight prior to my walk through. If you’re seeking legal representation look no further! The team over at Cofer & Connelly will work diligently to get you the best possibly outcome!

I’m glad I connected to Coffer & Connelly. From the array of law firms, I was lucky to reach out to them. They were helpful, assuring and thorough throughout the overwhelming process. Thank you Team for handholding me through it and in reaching a favourable outcome.

The Cofer and Connelly team were exceptional from the start. Heather and Mark did an amazing job on our behalf. They also went above and beyond to keep in touch with us and ensure we were informed throughout the process and through resolution. Their exceptional professionalism and commitment was refreshing and made a challenging situation much better to endure. Highly recommend this team.

We had to deal with a difficult situation regarding our son, and we were blessed to have worked with Cofer & Connelly. We worked with Heather and Rick, both of whom were extremely responsive and professional. They handled our case from beginning to end with confidence and were very thorough. They also made our son feel protected and encouraged throughout the whole process. Overall, their level of expertise dealing with juvenile investigative matters was beyond impressive; given their experience on both sides of the process. If your son or daughter is ever accused of or associated a potential crime, Rick and has team will not only handle it, but very likely drive it to a favorable conclusion.

What a BLESSING it was to find this firm! From my initial contact with Geoffrey Puryear and Mark Pryor I immediately knew this was the firm to hire. Our case was an extremely sensitive matter and these guys listened and answered every question I had. They made an extremely stressful situation possible to handle on my end. I had zero clue as to what I could expect with our case and they broke down the entire process for me, explaining the way the system works in my situation. I was at ease knowing I had a team behind me who’s handled thousands of cases not only as Defense Attorneys but also as Former Prosecutors and a Texas District Judge. It was clearly evident the wealth of knowledge and experience these two have and it doesn’t stop there. The entire firm is just as well rounded. I had the pleasure of working with their Lead Investigator Justin a former Asst’ Police Chief. Justin was not only again experienced and knowledgeable of the “system” but also understanding and compassionate with my family. If and when you need to communicate with them they’re readily available. Heather was my Client Care Coordinator and did an amazing job communicating my questions & concerns over to my attorney. She was friendly, caring and always got back to me as prompt as possible. If in trouble, save yourself the stress and anxiety and get this team to represent you, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Mark, Justin, Geoffrey, Heather & everyone at Cofer and Connelly. You guys rock!

Rick and the team were positive, encouraging, and hopeful through the whole legal process. They fought for me and helped me get the fair and just result for my case. Highly recommend their services, no matter how big or small the case!

Geoffrey Puryear and Merissa Johnson did an amazing job! They both were quick to respond to emails, calls and even text messages. They answered all my questions and were incredibly professional. Geoffrey explained the process and the law in a way so that a non-legal type mind, like myself, could understand. I really appreciated their kindness, understanding and their sincerity. I fell very lucky that I found them.

One of the most professional law firms I have ever worked with. Every person in the office is very fast responding and extremely kind. It was a pleasure working with Elizabeth Duggan as she was informative and knowledgeable. She explained everything very well and was excellent to work with. Merissa Johnson was also extremely great as she showed true compassion. I would recommend this firm to anyone looking for help!

I love this team. Every person I spoke with whether it be my lawyer or mitigation specialist, communication was always there. They were quick to answer any questions I had, and I would recommend Cofer & Connelly to anyone who finds themselves in a situation such as me.

First off everyone that helped me with my case was wonderful and very professional. I highly recommend cofer & Connell to anyone!

We were completely amazed by the attention and detail that Mr. Cofer and his staff treated our case. His experience and demeanor were very well noticed the first day we met. We met with 2 other lawyers prior to meeting Mr. Cofer and even before walking out of his office for our initial interview, our family were all 100% in agreement that we wanted this firm by our side. He fully explained the process to us and it played out very in line with what he detailed. He also didn't hesitate to answer questions over and over again about the process as it was all new to us. Thank you Rick and team for your diligence and expertise.

Geoffrey puryear is a FREAKING ROCKSTAR!!!!!! He handled my case with the utmost professionalism and refused to back down or be pushed around by anyone!!!! I STRONGLY recommend him to anyone I know and will continue too…. You won’t find better legal counsel…..

Excellent all around. Highly recommend Rick Coffer.

It was really nice to work with you people, I’m grateful and I will not hesitate to recommend friends.

Megan was very helpful and fast in resolving a situation that appeared out of nowhere. I'm very glad the first thing I did was contact a lawyer to help!

Jeffrey was amazing in every respect. He was clear and timely in communication. He was thorough in helping me prepare documents to support the case. His staff did an excellent job of interfacing when needed. He brought in outstanding consultants to help support the case. And he did an excellent job of presenting the case in the courtroom. No complaints, just a very satisfied client.

Rick and his entire team are wonderful! They really listen to and care about their client's needs and consistently fight for the best outcome! I am eternally grateful for all of the efforts they put in to go above and beyond for everyone they help.

Rick and Megan were excellent at helping me with my case and keeping me informed of the process. Hopefully I won’t ever need an attorney again but if I do I’ll definitely be using them

Rick, Megan and attorneys behind the scenes delivered a very positive outcome on my recent case. They are empathetic, responsive and thorough. Cofer & Connelly is home to some very sharp legal minds!

I have been working with Cofer & Connelly for the past five months with my case. I won't get into the details of my case but i was charged with a second degree felony. I felt these charges where unjustified and so did Cofer & Connelly. They have a strong team of lawyers and assistants that work very well together in gathering information. The information they gathered was essential in regards too painting a picture to the DA of who i really was. This information was essential as not to judge me on this one incident . In the end the facts came to light and Cofer & Connelly where able to get all of my charges dismissed. Myself and my family are forever grateful of the outcome of my case. We wanted to thank you for your dedication and time that you put into my case, I'm am truly relieved as this huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I would Highly recommend this Law firm for anyone who is seeking representation in there criminal legal matters, they are a true powerhouse.

The service from the office of Cofer and Connelly was better than I could have ever asked for. The entire team was very friendly and professional throughout my case from start to finish. I would encourage anyone anywhere to call on them. Hands down the best choice I ever made. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Mr Cofer was assigned to me as a court appointed attorney for my case. In the past with prior court appointed attorneys I have always received sub par performance, but this time that was far from the case. They actually went above and beyond with my case and ended up getting all of my charges dismissed. I can honestly say I was very impressed. I hardly had to do anything other than check in with bondsmen because they did all the work on my case for me. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, and that’s coming from someone who they were assigned to as a court appointed attorney. Great attorney.

From the very first call to Cofer&Connelly, to my fiancee's felony charges (out of 2 separate counties) being dismissed and facing parole reinstatement with the help of Rick Cofer and his team was amazing....considering. We had a complicated situation with a spotty history that led to my Fiancee being arrested. This translated into costly. So, we took our time and I did lots of research. Rick and our liason, Heather, hit the ground running as soon as the"t's" were crossed and "i's" we dotted. My favorite things about Rick, was his charming way of being so pilot, while blatantly making the witness feel like a dumbass. He knows how/when to pick his battles.... TO WIN THE WAR. I was so nervous. And in the end, feel it was the best choice and would do it all over again, if I had the chance (not going to though.) Thank you Rick, Heather, and the rest of the team. He is almost home thanks to you!

I had a tough case that Jeffrey and his team made an incredibly human experience. Not only are these people sharp lawyers, but incredible people. I will always turn to Cofer & Connelly anytime that I need a lawyer - and you should too!

Fabulous Law Firm. So efficient and easy to work with. Thank you so very much for all your hard work and effort. Mr.Rick Cofer was very polite and made me feel more confident and not motivated me not to loose track of my day to day life. Thanks for taking good care of me. Will always recommend your firm to anyone I know seeking legal expertise.

Cover and Connelly are awesome! They wiped out some potentially bad stuff in my world. Can't thank them enough!

Clean, precise, knowledgeable, and very effective. Best results for a complicated circumstance. Definitely the first person I’ll reach out too with any criminal law issues.

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!

So very helpful. Wouldn’t have gotten this case resolved without them. Thank you very much!!

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 view point 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!

Was amazing to work with and got me a deal of a lifetime. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to beat their case. Can’t say thank you enough for helping me and my family

My legal issue centered on a political banner that I hung on my private property outside 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 inherit right that I honorably served this country for in having my tickets dropped. In 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. Thankyou Rick, Cofer & Connelly for everything at no charge!!

I landed a DWI charge and hired Rick Cofer. I had a great experience all around. Not only are his interpersonal and legal skills stellar, his ability to navigate the court system and deftly handle counterparties proved invaluable. Even when dealt a curveball during/after the plea agreement, Rick stuck with it and was able to pull off the optimal outcome for me. He is a straight shooter and I highly recommend his services.

I am working with Rick Cofer on a DWI charge. He has been communicative and great at setting expectations and sharing his game plan for my case. It's been an especially lengthy process during the pandemic but I trust Rick to see the process through successfully.

Rick went above and beyond to resolve a scary and stressful legal issue for my family. He went the extra mile to fight on our behalf while calming our fears and being extremely patient with my family. I will forever be grateful to Rick. JE

Rick Cofer was very professional and knowledgeable. He took my son's case and got everything closed with no charge in less than 3 months!

Rick and his staff are well prepared for any case but above us they treat you like family.

If you want a lawyer, that is the equivalent of a used car salesman go with this firm? They over promise and under deliver in every single way? Absolutely awful experience. I should have known better when my attorney missed a scheduled phone meeting because to his own admission he was sleeping? I never understood the universal distaste for attorneys till I went here. Now I understand?
