Corporate Vision The Long Arm of the Law From his legal office in Dallas, Texas criminal defense attorney John Teakell has successfully defended hundreds of individuals charged with Texas Felonies and Federal Felonies. We speak to John and find out more as he celebrates success in the CV - Corporate Excellence Awards 2025. As a former federal prosecutor and former state prosecutor, John Teakell, operating as John R. Teakell Criminal Defense Attorney, uses his experience to tailor each case and achieve the best outcome for a client under their individual circumstances. Offering first-class representation in federal defense, state defense, government security clearance revocations, and government investigations, John seeks to obtain the best possible results for a client. Often, this requires taking longer to reach a case disposition, including continued discussions with the prosecution. His vast federal experience has been invaluable in obtaining clients and in representing them and is something that truly sets him aside from competitors in the industry. “In the federal prosecutor’s office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, I not only learned the federal system, but I learned how to prepare a complex case for a defense presentation and for trial,” John explains, telling us more about his knowledge and experience. “I have a tremendous understanding about prosecutions and the federal system - this has been key in my representation of clients, as I know the system and theories of prosecution. My understanding the federal criminal system has been a huge advantage for me.” Over several years, John, along with other attorneys, has been presented with challenges, such as the government taking action before completing an investigation or before the investigation is sufficient to justify a prosecution. To this end, it is becoming more and more important to conduct a defense investigation to obtain evidence that is favorable to the defense. “I’ve had a number of investigations closed without charges in the federal system,” elaborates John. “These required obtaining information and evidence which the government was not aware, in order to stop formal charges.” “I have a tremendous understanding about prosecutions and the federal system - this has been key in my representation of clients, as I know the system and theories of prosecution.” For his dedication to seeking to achieve maximum results, John was recently bestowed with the title of Best Criminal Defense Attorney 2025 (USA). Now, John is looking to become future proof within the industry by getting on-board with the emerging technology that is AI and how it can legitimately apply to the practice of law without creating pitfalls. He ends with one final piece of advice to other attorneys: “When you focus on an area of practice, then be persistent in establishing yourself. There is a lot of negativity that an attorney will naturally find, but do not quit and focus on the goal of becoming a known attorney in your area of practice.” Company: Law Office of John R.
