Michael OConner represented me in a case and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. He explained things so I could understand as things were happening in my case and was so easy to talk to. Also he was always available to talk to when I had questions. I would give him a 10/10.
Excellent law firm!
My congratulations to the entire team at the Law Offices of Dean Malone. I highly recommend them because they keep you informed every step of the way and answer your questions and concerns as quickly as possible.
I tried another lawyer who told me there wasn't much that could be done, but Dean Malone made it possible. Thank you so much!
I have known Dean Malone for over two decades. Besides being an outstanding attorney, he understands what it means to fight for his clients and fight for what is right. I would highly recommend Dean.
Owner response
Thank you, Bob! I appreciate your vote of confidence.
My Lawyer Michael O'Connor was very professional. Him or someone on his staff was available whenever I had questions. I would most definitely recommend them to anyone in need.
Owner response
Thank you Ms. Bogan. It was a privilege for our firm to represent you. I will pass on your comments to Mr. O'Connor and the rest of the team
Update** although I appreciate Mr Malone's response, he did not personally review the case or the evidence nor His attorneys performance. This case was not a silver platter case but the evidence was there and still is there which is why two firms have picked up the case and are moving forward.
Pointing out the one stars that I left on the other two firms as a defense is just bad form.
I read all of Dean Malone firm reviews before I decided to consult with them to take my brother's case who he died in police custody. I was disappointed when the attorney informed me that they did not view all of the video footage but read the report from the Ranger who investigated my brother's death and took it as unwavering fact. I believe that any investigator worth his salt good reviewed the limited body camera footage that was given to them and matched it against the rangers report that a discern for themselves that the Ranger wasn't being completely transparent or objective with his reporting and would have put no weight to that report and done their own full and thorough investigation.
The counties blatant resistance to turn over all evidence of audio and video of my brother's arrest and death from Dean Malone's firms freedom of information request should have been the first red flag for them to dig harder and examine the evidence further but it did not.
A lot of the evidence was as plain as day but I felt it was disregarded and was told that it wasn't enough. Their own doctor told them that my brother didn't die of an overdose but died of intestinal ischemia which is a very long and painful 6-hour death all which was detailed and the jailers observation log which outlined and timelined his symptoms and again that evidence was missed as well.
I had to investigate my brother's case on my own, I have a military intelligence background, and it didn't come without any consequences for myself. I'm now on three different types of medication and see it as psychiatrist after witnessing my brother's death and having to investigate it on my own.
Any good investigator could have concluded where the evidence viewed independently doesn't add too much but when placed together as pieces of a puzzle tell the story of blatant disregard for the health and safety of my brother which prevented protocols from being activated that are set in place to save inmates lives.
Two firms have teamed up to take my brother's case and I said to have a discussion with the district attorney here in the next week and depending on how that conversation goes who determine if we go to settlement or go to lawsuit and they have the shared me they have the lawsuit already drawn up and ready to file. We lost almost a year with Dean Malone. Had I went with this second firm the first time we'd have more time to find more evidence.
A good investigator goes a long way. Maybe hire somebody with an intelligence background.

Mr. Miranda,<br><br>I appreciate your review regarding our firm reviewing evidence related to your brother's death. We never disregard evidence, and we never take any one report at face value. I will not comment on evidence related to your brother's death, so as not to compromise your efforts to work with other lawyers, but there is at times evidence which is dispositive of a case.<br><br>It can be the cause of death, or whether jailers did or did not do certain things. Our firm knows these cases well, including the very complicated law applicable to them, and we have a reputation among lawyers in Texas for being a go-to firm for jail death referrals. Again, without regard to your brother's case, we have no reason to not proceed with a case if we think that that the case has merit. We are also ethically obligated not to file a case that we think does not have merit.<br><br>The law applicable to jail death cases is convoluted and best applied by lawyers who handle these types of cases. It is likely why we receive attorney referrals generally weekly. We know what we are doing handling jail neglect cases. I can understand that you are not pleased that we we unable to file suit for your brother's death. I might feel the same way in your shoes. But our decision does not reflect on our competence or tenaciousness in litigating cases our law firm has agreed to file. And our reputation handling these types of cases speaks for itself.<br><br>You also mention that the county stonewalled us in obtaining evidence. This is nothing new and happens in almost all of our jail death cases. Counties assert objections available under the Texas Public Information Act, but we are experienced in navigating such objections.<br><br>I do not want to question your motives for leaving us a 2-star review, but it has been months since we represented you. I also saw that you left 1-star reviews for two other law firms.<br><br>Response to your update: I review and discuss with an attorney in our office every jail death case before we decide whether we can ethically file a lawsuit or instead whether the evidence does not allow us to do so. I personally draft all new lawsuit complaints. So your assertion is not true. And whether there is a law firm or several law firms who are willing to take a case says nothing about a case’s merit. It is one thing to take a case. It is another to successfully litigate it. I wish you nothing but success in your pursuit of justice. <br><br>To those reading this review: Please review our website and other reviews if you are considering retaining our firm. We are diligent and caring with everyone we represent.
They did a great job. I'm very grateful for everything they did for me. Highly recommended. Thank you, Mrs. Rosalinda, always very helpful. They were all very nice people.
I’ll start by saying, I was having a hard time finding someone to take on my case. Then I called this firm, they accepted, didn’t hesitate to help me. They took on my case the same week I called.
Thank you so much Michael O’Connor for your hard work, time and knowledge. You made me feel comfortable while going through the process and it was kind of scary for me. Both Emily and Virginia were very kind, always answering me in a timely manner. Anytime I had questions they were sure to have my attorney call me, explained everything I wanted to know in detail. This is a great team that fought for me. I am just an everyday person working hard for what I have. I didn’t just feel like a client, I felt, heard, seen and valued with my attorney and his team. I highly recommend Mr O’Connor and the law offices of dean malone.

Thank you, Ms. Mistich! Our team shows up every day, committed to work hard and get the best results we can for our clients. I am glad to hear that you were satisfied with our representation, and your comments are a great encouragement to all of us.
This is an excellent group of attorneys who go above and beyond to help their clients. I’ve had a great experience working with them. Dean and his associates are both compassionate individuals and dedicated legal experts.
Owner response
Cheri,<br>Thank you very much! I am really proud of our team and the work that we do.
From everything I’ve seen, they are willing to take on challenging civil rights cases that many firms might shy away from. They don’t just sign up cases and sit back hoping for a quick settlement—they actually litigate.
This is a firm that prepares like real trial attorneys: they dig into the facts, pursue strong motions, and are clearly willing to take cases all the way to a jury when that’s what justice requires.
If you’re looking for a Texas firm that will fight for civil rights rather than just process files, Dean Malone’s firm absolutely deserves serious consideration.
We have been working with Dean and his team on a few cases and quickly learned that they are very experienced lawyers willing to take the toughest civil rights cases all the way to trial. They are great to work with and won’t back down. Genuinely care about their clients and get top results. Highly recommend.
Excellent Lawyers. Willing to Fight to hard battles, not just the easy ones! Great quality legal representation in areas of law that few are willing to tackle!
Owner response
Thank you, Tim! I appreciate you recognizing our team's willingness to go the extra mile.
Dean is the man when it comes to suits against police and jails. He has the knowledge and experience to win these very difficult suits. Any time a call comes into my office with a case like that, I only have one answer for them: you need to call Dean.
Michael OConner represented me in a case and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. He explained things so I could understand as things were happening in my case and was so easy to talk to. Also he was always available to talk to when I had questions. I would give him a 10/10.
