About John T. Floyd

Houston Criminal Attorney John Floyd is Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization

John T. Floyd has never been one to run from a challenge.

Mr. Floyd has proudly represented clients in the complex and often misunderstood arena of criminal law for more than two decades, frequently taking on case that others have deemed too serious or even hopeless. But John T. Floyd has learned from years of experience that allegations that appear hopeless are often based on false statements, incomplete investigative work or, even worse, corrupt law enforcement officials. He believes that each and every person has a right to a fair trial and excellent legal representation, and he will aggressively fight for each and every one of his clients by using his knowledge, experience, and compassion.

Driven by a commitment to justice and a passion for civil rights, John T. Floyd began his legal journey studying law at South Texas College of Law. After graduating as a Doctor of Jurisprudence, 1994, Mr. Floyd was admitted to the Texas bar. He has since successfully fought countless cases and has become Board Certified in criminal Law. He believes in the Constitution of this great country and has fought against the government his entire career. He has never been a prosecutor and has never argued that a person accused of a crime be found guilty or sentenced to prison. He believes there is a major philosophical difference between those who have made careers as prosecutors, putting people in prison, and those who passionately believe in defending the accused. It is this passion that drives John T. Floyd to tirelessly fight for the rights of those souls accused of serious crimes, with often no one at their side but this committed criminal defense lawyer.

At the John T. Floyd Law Firm, Mr. Floyd leads a staff of smart and talented legal professionals, including paralegals, investigators, and forensic experts. Mr. Floyd and his team are committed to continued excellence in the often challenging practice area of state and federal criminal justice, and have earned a reputation throughout the country for their integrity, drive, and remarkable history of successful outcomes in these often difficult cases.

Today, John T. Floyd has become the attorney that reporters and news outlets turn to for legal advice. He has appeared on national and world-wide television and radio programs as an expert in criminal law. He has been quoted in newspapers worldwide, and has been named as one of Houston’s Top Lawyers practicing criminal defense by HTexas magazine for the last eight years running. When explaining his vocation to reporters from HTexas magazine, Mr. Floyd said, “…far too many people are falsely accused and convicted. It is only the defense lawyer who can stand before the government and demand justice for his client.”

Mr. Floyd is Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas board of Legal Specialization. He defends the rights of the accused across all of Texas and in federal courts nation-wide.

I can state with confidence that Mr. Floyd and his team are the most competent and professional lawyers one can hope for. My case was quite complex and I admit that as a law student I was not the most patient client. Mr. Floyd did a phenomenal job of managing the bench, prosecution and myself! The result was above expectation, and I will never hesitate to recommend this firm regardless of the caliber of the case at issue.

Mr. John T. Floyd is an excellent attorney! I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Floyd and his assistant, Kathy, for their help and concern. Giving Mr. Floyd five stars is simply not enough. A year ago, I was arrested by police and the prosecutor charged me with a felony (2-20 years). My wife searched online for an attorney and found Mr. Floyd, a highly reputable attorney. I met with him and felt he was trustworthy because he listened carefully and was very compassionate. Ultimately, I decided to seek his services. Every time I visited his office to meet with him, he was always very welcoming and comforting. After nearly a year of preparation, Mr. Floyd successfully resolved my case in court—the prosecution dismissed the charges. This outcome brings immense happiness to my family and me, freeing us from our daily distress. I sincerely hope those that experience similar situations will first seek out Mr. Floyd and let him help relieve your mental distress and avoid criminal conviction.

I am incredibly grateful to John T. Floyd for the outstanding legal representation he provided for my son during a very difficult time. From the start, Mr. Floyd showed kindness, compassion, and empathy, not only toward my son’s case, but also toward me as a concerned parent with countless questions. A close friend referred me to Mr. Floyd, and I’m so thankful she did. She truly found a highly regarded and professional attorney. Mr. Floyd was honest and never gave false hope, but always shared thoughtful and uplifting information that helped me stay grounded and hopeful throughout the process. His reputation as one of Texas’s top lawyers is well deserved. I also want to recognize his assistant, Kathy; she is truly the best. Her support, patience, and understanding during such a stressful time meant the world to me and helped more than words can express. Mr. Floyd’s was there every step and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a strong, compassionate, trustworthy attorney.

A friend of mine needed help finding a defense attorney for her son, and after researching several options, I recommended the John T. Floyd Law Firm. I’m so glad I did—she hired them, and I had the opportunity to support her son throughout the case and observe some of the court proceedings myself. John T. Floyd is one of the best attorneys I’ve come across—impeccable and thorough in the courtroom, personable, and very communicative. He kept everyone informed, never left us in the dark, and clearly operates with integrity and passion for what he does. Even after a not guilty verdict, he followed up to offer additional support and guidance---that kind of dedication is rare. If you’re looking for a defense attorney who is professional, compassionate, and genuinely invested in their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend the John T. Floyd Law Firm.

If you hired attorneys you know how the process can be. Most don't return your calls, they usually don't get in a hurry, most won't tell you the complete truth, most won't study your case to be able to 100% defend you, etc... Don't waste your time and money on that nonsense, Hire the only attorney that has qualities you will never see in other attorney. Mr John Floyd is the best attorney in Texas!!! Mr Floyd is extremely qualified, compassionate, has integrity and cares about his client's life after their legal issues. Make an appointment with Mr Floyd to see for yourself, you will be delighted to have him in your corner!!!

I can't thank him enough. John Floyd got me dismissed. When he told me, I was kinda speechless and didn't know how to react. He told me and family to smile and he shook my hand and told me "hey. We won. Your case is dismissed." I trusted him right from beginning. Trusting him before my first call to talk to him, and getting him in my corner was the best decision. I'm so happy!!! He is a great person to meet. And he will do everything he can to help you.
