Criminal law practice areas

  • DWI/DUI

    A person accused of driving while intoxicated has immediate consequences and costs. You must have the aid of an attorney that can minimize the cost and consequences

  • Assault

    Assault charges range from unwanted touching, the same level as a traffic ticket, to a first-degree felony. We can help you with any type of assault case.

  • Marijuana

    The State has not legalized marijuana and therefore there are some consequences for possessing even small useable amounts. There is no such thing as a personal use exception in Texas.

  • Drugs

    The drug category includes both illegal drugs like cocaine, meth, heroin, and PCP and prescription drugs such as Hydrocodone, Adderall, OxyContin, and Xanax. The Texas Health and Safety code classify all these drugs.

  • Theft

    No matter what level of theft case you are charged with, it is serious. A final conviction for a theft case will likely exclude you from most decent jobs. Not many crimes are as devastating to a career as a theft case. You need competent legal representation to guide you to avoid or minimize the negative consequences.

  • Prostitution

    Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.

  • Sexual Offenses

    One of the most damning and devastating accusations is a sexual misconduct accusation. The consequences are far-reaching. A simple accusation can lead to a loss of a job, friends, reputation, freedom, family, and more. It is vital for anyone accused of sexual offenses such as rape, indecency with a child, or even indecent exposure to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as they believe that it is even a possibility.

  • Early Term of Probation

    Under certain circumstances and for certain crimes, courts will allow a defendant placed on probation or deferred adjudication to early terminate community supervision. Texas law gives Judges discretion to end the probation after successfully fulfilling 1/3 of the term of the probation. However, many courts will not terminate before 1/2 the time has been successfully fulfilled.

FAQ

  • What do I do if I am arrested?

    Remain Silent!!! Outside of identification questions, ask for an attorney to be present. Politely let the officer know that you do not wish to speak to anyone without the presence of an attorney that is representing you. "I want to invoke my 5th amendment right," is what you should say in light of the recent United States Supreme Court decision.

  • How much time am I facing?

    Some of the factors that determine the maximum amount of time a person will serve include the level of crime that they are charged with, past criminal history, prior convictions, and whether a weapon was used. These are not the only factors to consider, they are just examples. 

  • If I was convicted for a criminal act, can I have it sealed?

    No, under Chapter 55 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure (TCCP) a person has the right to expunge a criminal record only if the criminal charge was dismissed or the person was acquitted. The only exception is if a person completes a deferred adjudication for a class C misdemeanor. In that case, a person has a right to an expunction.

  • Can I non-disclose (seal) a DWI conviction?

    The Texas Legislator recently amended the government code to allow for non-disclosure of certain DWI convictions as long as the person completed probation and meets all the other requirements under the government code.
