About John H. Nix

The John Nix Law Office is a full service criminal and civil law firm. We offer comprehensive representation for all of North Texas and Southern Oklahoma. Our quality of service and effort is best reflected in the client testimonials we've provided for your review.We truly believe that representation starts when you hire us, and simply waiting for your case to appear on a court docket is a waste of time. As they say, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."Each of our clients has not only the benefit of the highest level staff, but also the luxury of having their case analyzed and represented by a former Criminal District Attorney and Assistant General Counsel for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.

Experience is the key that allows us to focus on the issues that matter and formulate a plan that safeguards your life. We understand your life is precious to you and your loved ones, and it is you who have to live with the consequences of our representation. For that reason we believe in two fundamental principles: Any situation, no matter how dark, is capable of having its light exposed. And, as said by Samuel Houston, the seventh governor of the Republic of Texas as well as John Houston Nix's paternal ancestor, "We will not learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may."

Best attorney to have on your side hands down. John helped me through my case quickly and worked to get it dismissed, which I am so grateful for! If you need an attorney that will work hard for you this is the one, highly recommend!!

I had little contact with him via phone until the court date when I met him for the first time. However, he covered everything I had requested so I came away a winner.

Hired Attorney

At first I thought he was going to do a great job and get things done. After many, many months and thousands of dollars, he had not gotten anything done and had refused to submit documents that proved the mental health disabilities my ex husband has. He wasted valuable time and money.

Hired Attorney

i hired john nix to represent my son. $5000 retainer. I expected him to negotiate in my sons best interest. When I was unable to pay an additional $10000 he stopped working in our favor. I expressed my displeasure in his due diligence. Surprisingly with a smirk in court he stated, "that he could win the trial easily". Sadly my son was prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
