I reached out to Thomas regarding my unique case, and from our very first conversation, I knew he was the right lawyer for me. He was not only positive and reassuring throughout the process, but he also excelled at communicating and addressing all my questions. I wholeheartedly recommend him without hesitation. Mark Diaz and Associates are fortunate to have such an outstanding attorney on their team!

This is an amazing team of attorneys and associates here. I have hired them two times and both times I could not have asked for a better outcome. Thank you Mark Diaz, Jessica Ebbs, and Thomas Overhouse for all your hard work and dedication to resolve my cases.

Jessica was fantastic. Always answered my questions in a timely manner and was able to guide me through a very difficult time and case. She stayed on the prosecutor and pushed issues when they needed to resulting in a very positive outcome on an accusation that would have destroyed my life. When she had to step out for maternity leave Thomas seamlessly stepped in to fill her position until she returned. If you are new to the court room scene and feeling unsure about finding a strong attorney, please look no further youre in good hands with Jessica and Thomas.

We hired this firm to defend our son against a crime he didnt commit. Although our son was acquitted of all charges it was an easy win. He was accused of stealing his own property. The communication was very poor with our attorney. I felt I was bothering him by asking questions. The worst of all was that we were not informed that my son would NOT get his property back after all charges were dropped .It was given to the person who claimed the item was hers on the spot the day of my sons arrest. Stay away from Galveston would be my advise. Something is very wrong there across the board and find a different attorney!

Great lawyers. My brother had 5 case and 2 were dismissed. We paid a hefty price but for the low sentencing my brother received, the charges he was fighting with and dealing with a judge who plays hard and its notorious for giving long sentences. We were happy with the result. We were dealing with Jessica Ebbs but unfortunately she had to go on leave for personal reasons. Jessica was good at communicating back. She did things we want done like bond reduction and letting us know what was happening. We did run into a couple hiccups but where there was some miscommunication but was clarified. But when she left. We dealt with Thomas Overhouse. Not so great at communicating. I left 3 messages over evidence with the receptionist who was very friendly and very attentive. But I have yet to get a reply. So that is for the one start deduction. Highly recommend Jessica.

Charged me for 20 telephone calls which is untrue and failed to go to court for my son. Then a bench warrant after the farse ended . $6,500.00 and never brought my son to xourt with Jessica Ebbs and Mark Diaz. Do not use these attorneys. Do not use these attorneys. They lie to you, take advantage and steal your money.

I had a very positive experience working with Mark and his associates. Jessica was my lawyer, honestly never met her, but I know she was working behind the scenes for me and when she wasnt there Mark himself showed up. They did what they promised and it wasnt an easy thing to do. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for great, respected representation in Galveston County.

Thomas Overhouse is a rockstar! I was very discouraged when I learned I had to hire an attorney thinking it was going to cost me a small fortune. I contacted Mark Diaz and associates and Thomas immediately got back to me and answered all my questions without promising anything as far as the outcome of the case. Still, I knew he was the guy to handle things for me and he was able to work with me on the price. He handled things better and faster than I could have imagined. Thank you Thomas!

Thomas was excellent! I actually hired him kind of last minute and I was worried if he would work hard or even be able to get the information needed for my case. I must say I was throughly impressed! He was able to gather all the extra information he needed for my case!!!! Thomas also patiently answered any of my questions with a fast response. He was well informed about my case(being able to get more information than I had) and he made the necessary phone calls to ensure he went to trial prepared. The opposing side didn t bring all the facts/full truth to the table, but Thomas made sure to present the facts/truth clearly to the judge. He came up with a wonderful solution for the judge that I was very pleased with. I hope I don t need another lawyer but if I ever do I will go to him first! I am so grateful for all his hard work and excellent service . I want to say thank you again to Thomas Overhouse for a job well done on my case, and I would highly recommend him! Keep up the great work Thomas.

I had a case against me where I was getting charged with things I didnt even do. Thomas Overhouse a lawyer with Mark Diaz &Associates never gave up on me. He watched my video and told me what I should do and dont give up and gave me advice and hope to make it through. Jessica Ebbs also had to help on my case for a bit and she also helped me out and gave me hope to make it through. If you are needing a lawyer for anything you are going through you can count on them and I recommend you use them. They never gave up on me and what was happening was destroying my life. But they helped me through. I thank Thomas Overhouse and Mark Diaz &Associates so much.

These guys are truly amazing. I was falsely accused of a crime and they stood by my side the entire time easing my mind.

They communicated with me quite often to update me the status of my case. This was a great experience and money well spent.. they are worth every penny and more!

From my first meeting with Jessica she put my mind and my soul at ease. She explained the possible outcomes and the outcomes of similar cases she s handled. Assuring me she would work diligently to get me the best results. Promise fulfilled. She resolved a couple of misdemeanors for me, but I would trust her in any court. She showed up on my behalf during renovation of the courthouse, and I only had to make one appearance throughout the entire matter. And that was the last setting when she disposed of it. She proposed an offer I couldn t refuse, and told me if that wasn t acceptable she would renegotiate. But no need she had already exceeded my expectations. I could go on and on but you probably wouldn t read that much. If you re in need of an attorney, you re on this page for a reason. I myself would call it divine intervention. Someone s looking out for you and They re going to use Jessica and her colleagues to carry out the rest. I and my family sincerely thank you Jessica. And as I stated when we were leaving court Google will only allow me to give you 5 stars, but you deserve the Milky Way (galaxy).

Jessica Ebbs took over for my daughters court appointed attorney, who had advised us/my daughter that she had no other option but to plead guilty to a charge that we felt was unwarranted. After successfully substituting for what I felt was ineffective counsel, she maneuvered her way through my daughters case and was able to obtain a dismissal. Jessica went above and beyond for us and we were very pleased with her representation. I would definitely recommend Jessica and her firm if you ever find yourself in need of a great lawyer, team and firm!

Mark and Jessica represented me recently on a self defense case which went all the way into trial and ended with justice for myself with a big NOT GUILTY. They treated myself and my family like their own and exhausted their full efforts into the case to gain justice. I cannot thank them enough for their actions. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for justice to be served. Do not let the state hang your life or freedom in the balance without proper representation. Mark and Jessica WILL give you the defense you deserve.

Mark Diaz is a hell of a lawyer. We have been co-counsel on several cases over the years, and the way he puts his clients first is a model for the profession. From intensive investigation at the front through excellent trial skills at the end, I am always grateful for an opportunity to work with Mark Diaz.
