Areas of Crime We Defend

When you need a strong defense against criminal charges in Texas, you can rely on our experienced defense lawyers. We provide comprehensive legal representation for clients facing a wide range of criminal offenses.

Assault

Assault charges involve causing bodily harm or threatening harm to another person. We work to challenge the prosecution’s evidence, examine self-defense claims, or reduce the charges to lesser offenses, minimizing the impact on your future.

Burglary

Burglary involves entering a building with the intent to commit a crime. Our team defends against charges by scrutinizing evidence of intent and unlawful entry, aiming for case dismissal or reduction of penalties.

Detective Calls

If you’ve been contacted by a detective, it’s important to remain silent and seek legal advice immediately. We help protect your rights during these initial calls and provide guidance on how to proceed.

Drug Charges

Drug charges can range from simple possession to trafficking. We work tirelessly to challenge evidence and explore options for reduced charges, focusing on minimizing penalties or avoiding conviction.

Domestic Violence / Family Violence

Domestic violence charges often carry serious consequences. We defend clients accused of physical abuse, emotional abuse, or threats, looking for inconsistencies in the claims and protecting your rights throughout the process.

DUI / DWI Defense

Being charged with DUI or DWI can have serious implications, including license suspension and fines. We examine evidence like breathalyzer results, field sobriety tests, and arrest procedures to create a robust defense strategy.

Expunging Your Record

A criminal record can affect your future. We assist clients with the expungement process, working to have charges or convictions removed from your record, improving opportunities in employment, housing, and more.

Federal Crimes

Federal crimes are prosecuted more aggressively, often carrying harsher penalties. We have experience defending clients against crimes like fraud, drug trafficking, and conspiracy, focusing on minimizing the damage and protecting your rights.

Fraud

Fraud charges involve deception for personal or financial gain. We defend against accusations of wire fraud, credit card fraud, and identity theft by challenging evidence and negotiating potential reductions in charges.

Felony Charges

Felony charges can carry long-term consequences. Our defense strategies focus on mitigating the severity of the charges, using all available legal tools to reduce penalties, avoid prison time, or seek a favorable plea deal.

Guns & Weapons Charges

Weapons charges are serious and can lead to heavy fines or imprisonment. We defend clients accused of illegal possession, carrying firearms without a permit, or using weapons during a crime, fighting to protect your rights and minimize penalties.

Internet Crimes

With the rise of online activities, internet crimes such as hacking, identity theft, and online fraud are more common. We provide effective defense for internet crimes, challenging digital evidence and offering solutions to avoid severe penalties.

Motion to Revoke Probation

If you violate probation, a motion to revoke probation could lead to jail time. We help clients with strong defenses, demonstrating compliance or challenging the revocation to keep them out of jail and on track with their probation.

Misdemeanors

Misdemeanors may seem less severe than felonies, but they can still lead to jail time, fines, and a criminal record. Our goal is to reduce misdemeanor charges and avoid the long-term consequences that can come with a conviction.

Murder / Manslaughter

Murder and manslaughter charges are among the most serious criminal cases. We aggressively defend clients by challenging evidence, identifying flaws in the prosecution’s case, or seeking lesser charges where possible.

Sex Crimes

Accusations of sex crimes can carry lifelong consequences. We defend clients against charges like sexual assault, exploitation, or harassment, working to protect your reputation and ensure a fair trial.
