Our Criminal Defense Practice Areas

We handle a wide range of criminal charges common in Kessler and the nearby areas.

DWI / Alcohol Offenses

If you’re pulled over near Coombs Creek Trail or caught by Dallas PD, we challenge illegal stops, test mistakes, or bad breathalyzer results. Sometimes the officers didn’t follow the rules, and that gives us room to fight.

Drug Offenses

Whether it’s prescription pills, marijuana, or another substance, even small amounts can lead to charges. We review how the search was handled and whether the evidence is solid. If something’s wrong, we push to get it thrown out.

Assault and Battery Offenses

These charges often stem from disputes at home or in public. We dig into the facts, interview witnesses, and check for self-defense or inconsistencies in the story.

Theft and Robbery

Taking something—even accidentally—can lead to serious trouble. We look at video, witness statements, and the details to find weak points or mistakes.

Weapons Offenses

Being charged for carrying a gun improperly or without a license is serious. We know Texas laws and challenge any illegal search or misunderstanding about your rights.

Sex Crimes Charges

These are sensitive and high-stakes. We handle them with care and discretion. We investigate every angle, collect evidence, and defend your reputation.

Juvenile Crimes

If your child is in trouble, the goal is to protect their future. We push for options like diversion programs and sealed records rather than harsh penalties.

Expunction / Record Clearing

If your case was dismissed or you completed probation, you might clear your record. We handle all the paperwork and court filings so your arrest doesn’t follow you.

How Long Will the Process Take?

Every case is different. Misdemeanor charges may wrap up in a few months, while felonies or cases going to trial could take longer. It depends on the court’s schedule and whether prosecutors offer a deal. We move fast but don’t rush. Our goal is the best result, and we keep you updated every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the impact a conviction can have on my life?

Even a minor conviction can damage your job opportunities, housing, and credit. It could also affect your ability to get loans or professional licenses. That’s why we fight to avoid convictions whenever possible.

What are the possible penalties I could face if convicted?

Penalties depend on the charge. You could face jail or prison time, probation, fines, community service, or driver’s license suspension. If it’s a weapon or sex crime, penalties can be very serious. We explain all realistic outcomes in your case.

How can a criminal defense attorney help me?

A lawyer protects your rights from the start, reviews evidence, challenges mistakes, negotiates with prosecutors, and represents you in court. We also deal with paperwork so you don’t have to.

What should I do if I am arrested?

Stay calm, say nothing except that you want a lawyer, and call us at (214) 432‑8860. Write down the details you remember—who, what, when, where. That helps later.

What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?

Misdemeanors are less serious crimes, like shoplifting or simple assault, usually punishable by less than a year in jail. Felonies are more serious—burglary, DWI with injury, serious drug charges—and can mean long prison terms.

What happens if my case goes to trial?

If we go to trial, we present evidence, question witnesses, argue your side in court. Trials can take days or weeks. We prepare you every step of the way and stand with you in front of the judge or jury.
