My Dallas Criminal Lawyer, a Frisco-based criminal defense law firm serving Collin County, Denton County, and the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area, has been named the Gold Winner for Best DUI | DWI Lawyer in The Dallas Morning News Best in DFW: People’s Choice Awards for 2026.

The Best in DFW: People’s Choice Awards is an annual program from The Dallas Morning News that recognizes outstanding local businesses across the Dallas-Fort Worth region. Winners are selected through public nominations and community voting, not by a panel or paid placement, and My Dallas Criminal Lawyer was voted the Gold Winner in the DUI | DWI Lawyer category of the professional services group. The complete list of 2026 winners is available in the Best in DFW section of dallasnews.com.
"Winning this award for the second year in a row is a tremendous honor for our entire team," said Justin Barrett Wilson, founding attorney of My Dallas Criminal Lawyer and a former Collin County felony prosecutor. "This recognition means the most because it comes directly from the community. We are grateful to everyone who took the time to vote and to the clients who trust us during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. Our commitment is the same as it was on day one: compassionate guidance, aggressive advocacy, and exceptional client service in every case we take."
The firm’s DWI practice defends drivers facing DWI charges in Collin County and across North Texas, with a particular focus on the courts in McKinney and cases arising in Frisco, Plano, Allen, and the surrounding communities. The firm’s attorneys are former prosecutors with 15 combined years of prosecutorial experience and more than 200 trials, and they handle every stage of a DWI case, from the administrative license revocation hearing that follows an arrest through trial.
"A DWI arrest can happen to anyone, and the people who voted for us understand that," Wilson said. "When someone in Frisco, McKinney, or Plano is facing a DWI charge, they are trusting us with their license, their record, and their livelihood. Back-to-back recognition from the readers of The Dallas Morning News tells us we are keeping that trust."
