Criminal Defense

We represent individuals charged with misdemeanors and felonies including, but not limited to, Drug Possession and Delivery, DWI, Intoxication Manslaughter, Intoxication Assault, Assault, Theft, Criminal Mischief, Driver’s License Suspensions and Traffic Tickets

My job as a criminal defense trial attorney is to ensure that justice is done. I will remind you and all those involved in the process that you are a "citizen accused" and to hold the state to its burden- guilt beyond a reasonable doubt- not one based on the unpopularity of an offense. I fight passionately when one of us is charged in the wrong. I will thoroughly and carefully examine all the evidence and explain the law and processes fully to you, my clients.

It is important to remember that you are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.  I will aggressively investigate the circumstances of your arrest to identify and exploit potential weakness in your case.

I will keep you informed and up-to-date throughout your case so you can make decisions that are always in your own best interest.

 

Drugs For defense of your constitutional rights in the face of drug charges, contact a highly experienced drug charge defense attorney. Fighting Illegal Search and Seizure I will investigate all aspects of the drug arrest to determine whether unlawful search or seizure occurred.  I have represented clients who are charged with serious felony drug charges that end up getting dismissed based on my investigation. Avoiding Jail Sentences                    I work diligently to provide the most aggressive defense possible to preserve my clients’ freedom to avoid a jail sentence.  DWI I am skilled, seasoned, and knowledgeable in DWI, DUI, BWI and ALR matters. I also offer defense experience in intoxication manslaughter, intoxication assault and other criminal prosecutions. The laws in Texas regarding Driving While Intoxicated (DWI-DUI) or Drunk Driving have changed dramatically and are very strict. You are facing potential jail time and driver's license suspension. You need the advice of an experienced and aggressive Texas DWI Lawyer immediately to begin protecting your rights and save your driver's license privileges. Traffic Tickets Most traffic tickets in Texas are Class "C" misdemeanors which, while criminal offenses, are punishable by a fine not to exceed $500.00. Don't make the mistake that many people make and just pay the ticket. Doing so puts that citation on your driving record for up to 36 months with the added potential of raising your insurance rates. Too many convictions can result in the suspension of your drivers license and can adversely affect other criminal and civil actions which may be currently pending or come about later.
