Love Field Criminal Defense Lawyer

PROTECTING YOUR FREEDOM & YOUR BUSINESS

Love Field is a busy part of northwest Dallas, just southwest of the airport. It has homes, businesses, parks like Bachman Lake, light rail stations, and even big employers like Southwest Airlines. It’s popular and active, but that also brings traffic stops, bar disputes, and other legal issues. If you’re facing charges here, you need legal help from someone who knows the area and the courts.

Do I Need a Criminal Defense Lawyer?

Yes, even if the charge seems minor. A traffic stop gone wrong, a fight, or a misunderstanding can lead to a criminal record. That record can make it hard to find a job, rent a home, or apply for loans. As a trusted criminal lawyer in Dallas, we review your case early, check whether your rights were respected, and find ways to defend you. It’s not worth risking your future for a simple mistake.

Why choose Gallian Firm

We’ve helped clients across Love Field, from houses near Denton Drive to apartments by Bachman Lake and condos by the airport. We know local judges, local prosecutors, and how Dallas County courts handle cases from this area. That means we can act fast, push for dropped charges, or argue for reduced penalties. We speak plainly, return your calls, and treat you like a person, not a case number.

Our Criminal Defense Practice Areas

We defend people facing many kinds of charges in Love Field, from bars to homes to roads.

DWI / Alcohol Offenses

Police pull people over on Inwood, near the DART Green Line station, or around the airport roads. We look at whether the stop was legal, if any tests were done right, and whether the officer followed the law. A mistake by police or the testing machine can help us reduce or throw out a DWI.

Drug Offenses

Police may search vehicles or homes without good cause. Even small amounts of marijuana or pills can lead to charges. We check every step—how the evidence was found, handled, and tested. If your rights were broken, we push for the case to be dropped.

Assault and Battery Offenses

Arguments can happen at a party by Bachman, a meetup venue, or even at home. Sometimes police arrest someone without hearing the full story. We collect your version, find witnesses, and show what really happened. That often leads to charges being dismissed or reduced.

Theft and Robbery

Were you accused of taking something? That could be a stolen item at a store, a misunderstanding with a neighbor, or something taken from a parked car. We seek video, witness statements, and review police reports. Often, we find the evidence doesn’t match the charge and fight for your freedom.

Weapons Offenses

Love Field has bars, events, and even public trails—places where a gun might be found by police. You may think you had a license, but laws here are strict. We check whether police followed the rules or misunderstood the situation and fight to preserve your rights.

Sex Crimes Charges

Even an ambiguous encounter can lead to severe charges. These cases can ruin a reputation and future options. We dig into messages, testimony, and evidence. We protect your rights and privacy while building a full defense.

Juvenile Crimes

If a teen is charged, we work to keep them out of adult court. We pursue programs that let them avoid criminal records. Childhood mistakes shouldn’t define their future.

Expunction / Record Clearing

If your case ended favorably, you might clear your record. We file the right paperwork, follow court rules, and work to wipe your record clean. That makes it easier to move forward.

How Long Will the Process Take?

Timing depends on your charge. Misdemeanors often wrap up within months. Felonies take longer, sometimes over a year. Trials take more time. We don’t rush, but we also don’t wait. We push the process along and keep you informed the whole way.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A conviction can block jobs, rentals, loans, and even travel. It might hurt custody cases or professional licenses. That’s why every case deserves real attention.

What are the possible penalties I could face if convicted?

Penalties vary. You could face jail or prison, probation, fines, community service, or classes. You could lose your license or face extra monitoring. We always explain what you face and fight to reduce the punishment or avoid it entirely.

How can a criminal defense attorney help me?

We protect your rights from day one. We check every detail—police reports, video, lab tests—and question everything that doesn’t match. We negotiate with the prosecutor and argue for you in court. And we guide you so you understand each step and decision.

What should I do if I am arrested?

Stay calm. Don’t argue. Don’t explain in the moment. Ask for a lawyer. Then call us at (214) 432‑8860. Keep quiet until you can talk to us. What you say can hurt your case later.

What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?

Misdemeanors are less serious; jail time is usually under a year. Felonies are more serious and carry longer prison sentences. Both matter. A jury conviction on either can follow you for life.

What happens if my case goes to trial?

If we go to trial, we file motions, speak with witnesses, present your defense, and argue your case before a judge or jury. We prepare you, support you, and stand with you through the verdict.
