Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense attorneys provide aggressive representation for clients facing felony and misdemeanor charges. We handle cases ranging from drug crimes and DWI to violent offenses and capital murder. Our team includes former prosecutors who leverage insider knowledge to identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case. We focus on protecting constitutional rights, challenging evidence, and securing dismissals or reduced charges through trial or negotiation.
DWI Defense
Specialized defense for driving while intoxicated charges in Texas. We challenge blood alcohol test accuracy, police procedure violations, and evidence admissibility. Our attorneys have extensive experience with standard DWI, aggravated DWI, and repeat offenses. We represent clients at ALR hearings to prevent license suspension and work to minimize penalties including jail time, fines, and ignition interlock requirements.
Domestic Violence Defense
Comprehensive legal representation for domestic assault and family violence charges. We challenge false accusations, insufficient evidence, and self-defense claims. Our attorneys work to prevent protective orders, reduce charges, and minimize consequences like jail time, probation, and firearm restrictions. We understand the social and professional implications of domestic violence allegations and develop strategic defenses accordingly.
Drug Crimes Defense
Legal defense for drug possession, trafficking, manufacturing, and distribution charges. We challenge unlawful searches, chain-of-custody issues, and lab analysis errors. Our team handles cases involving marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription drug offenses. We work to suppress evidence, negotiate reduced charges, and explore alternative sentencing options like drug diversion programs.
Personal Injury Cases
Representation for accident victims seeking compensation for injuries caused by others' negligence. We handle car crashes, slip-and-fall incidents, and workplace accidents. Our attorneys negotiate with insurance companies, calculate damages for medical expenses and lost wages, and litigate cases to trial when necessary. We operate on a contingency fee basis to ensure access to justice for all clients.

Questions
What should I do immediately after a DWI arrest in Fort Bend County?
Request an ALR hearing within 10 days to contest license suspension and contact our attorneys immediately to build a defense strategy challenging evidence and police procedure.
Can domestic violence charges be dismissed if the accuser recants?
While recantation helps, prosecutors may still pursue charges. Our attorneys challenge evidence reliability and explore self-defense claims to seek dismissals or reduced charges.
How does Texas handle first-time drug possession offenses?
Penalties vary by drug classification but may include jail time, fines, and probation. We challenge evidence admissibility and negotiate for reduced charges or alternative sentencing options.
What makes your firm different from public defenders?
We provide personalized, aggressive representation with former prosecutorial insight, focusing on individual case details rather than managing high caseloads like public defenders.
Can I still file a personal injury claim if I was partially at fault?
Texas follows comparative fault rules - compensation reduces by your percentage of fault, but you can still recover damages if less than 50% responsible.
What happens during a free case evaluation?
Our attorneys review case details, discuss legal options, explain potential outcomes, and develop a strategic defense plan tailored to your specific circumstances during this confidential consultation.
