“Justin showed the officer never had probable cause. My DUI was dropped.”
Jacob Smalley
My son was charged with several crimes he did not commit and his attorney could not get his case resolved. So, we hired Mr. Bell to get his case moving and to get a resolution. However, the DA on the case refused to negotiate or discuss the case, so Mr. Bell set it for a preliminary hearing. As a result, all of the charges against my son were dismissed at General Sessions Court, saving us a lot of time and additional money.
Renda Gunter
I had a great experience with Mr. Bell I was gonna lose my CDL A because of a suspended license up to a year for a misdemeanor if convicted… I thank god and praise him because of what this man did for me he took away all my problems and my worries… this man is by far the best. This man has been a blessing to me and my family. Thanks for helping me keep my job Mr. Bell.
Vic Lara
Justin Bell represented me in a case where I was charged with felony possession. I was offered a felony plea, but Mr. Bell held a preliminary hearing and fought very hard for me because he knew I was not guilty of what I was charged with. After the hearing, the Class-B Felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor. I've never seen another attorney get that done. If you are over-charged with a crime you are not guilty of, I would definitely recommend having Mr. Bell represent you because he gets results.
Jennifer Patterson
I retained Justin Bell on a DUI case and after reviewing the video footage, Mr. Bell was able to identify errors the officer made while administering the field sobriety tests, as well as an illegal seizure for the initial stop. At general sessions court, Mr. Bell was able to use this information to resolve the case and get rid of the DUI charge. I'm very thankful for his help and knowledge and would recommend him for anyone facing the same!

"Just Me and My Butterfly"

Mr. Bell represented me in a DUI case and at the preliminary hearing he was very meticulous and tied down every aspect of the case pertaining to whether the officer properly administered the field sobriety tests. He was able to demonstrate that probable cause was never established and the arrest was improper. I've never seen an attorney fight so hard and be so prepared to win at the hardest stage in General Sessions Court. I am so glad I had him representing me because he does more than any attorney I've seen and he gets results.
Brittani Fields
Mr. Bell represented my son on an Attempted Murder charge. The first thing Mr. Bell did was come out to the scene and interview all the witnesses and photograph the layout where the shooting took place. During a preliminary hearing, Mr. Bell was able to demonstrate how weak the state’s case was and that law enforcement failed to conduct a proper investigation and gave the key piece of evidence (a car with bullet holes in it) back to the complainant who promptly had the vehicle crushed the next day. After showing the state’s case was very weak, Mr. Bell was able to reach a favorable resolution for my son. If you or your family member is falsely accused of a crime, I would definitely recommend having Mr. Bell represent you.
Amanda Swicegood
I was charged with a felony theft crime that was based on circumstantial evidence that did not look good for me. However, I knew I was innocent and told my story to Mr. Bell. Justin believed me and went to battle for me. He brought in an investigator and was able to interview the witnesses that law enforcement did not. After interviewing officers involved in the investigation, Mr. Bell discovered that law enforcement never even went to the crime scene and had no idea whether there was forced entry and never made an attempt to gather any evidence that might lead to the actual perpetrator. With trial only a couple weeks away, Mr. Bell was able to reach a resolution in my case to have the charge dismissed and expunged from my record. If you need an attorney who will listen to you and be willing to go to war to protect your rights and freedom, I would highly recommend having Mr. Bell represent you.
Mike Sharp
I highly recommend Justin Bell to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate attorney. Throughout my case he provided unwavering support and expert guidance, making a difficult situation much easier to navigate. On a felony drug case, Mr. Bell fought for me and ensured I received the least possible sentence. In fact it was probation, on a charge that started out non- probationable. More than just legal expertise, he made me feel safe and confident every step of the way, which meant so much since I was in jail waiting for court. If you're looking for an attorney who truly cares and delivers results... Justin Bell is the man to trust.
Natalee Qahhaar
At the time of my arrest I was homeless. Had just lost custody of my children due to financial reasons. Was living in my storage unit with no water and no electricity… Fast forward to hiring Justin Bell. I was homeless but I had money saved. Best investment I could've hoped for. Mr. Bell took my case… During a PROBABLE CAUSE hearing he questioned two officers and was able to demonstrate that probable cause was never established for the arrest and got the judge to totally dismiss the case in its entirety and suppressed the blood draw from evidence. Now… I am well on my way to getting my children back because Mr. Bell believed in me and fought like a pit bull in court to protect my innocence and my freedom. I would highly recommend Mr. Bell to anybody who is in need.
Ryan McWilliams
I retained Justin Bell to represent me in a Felony drug case that resulted from a car accident. He fought for me every step of the way. First, he fought to get me relief from reporting to pre-trial release since I resided 3 hours away from court. Then, he was able to negotiate my case down to a Class-A Misdemeanor on Judicial Diversion from the original charge of a Class-B Felony. But, he didn’t stop there—He continued to fight and argue and was able to negotiate a resolution for a Class-B Misdemeanor with the sentence suspended to unsupervised probation and then was able to preserve my Judicial Diversion in case I ever need it in the future. I was very happy with these results, but Mr. Bell still wasn’t finished. He then argued to the Court to approve a partial Expungement of the remaining charges against the wishes of the Prosecutor. The Judge granted the Motion and approved the Expungement of the unfounded charges. If you are like me and feel like you are charged with a crime you are not guilty of, I highly recommend choosing Justin Bell to represent you. 10/10 100% recommend!!!!
