Services
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice protects clients facing felony and misdemeanor charges through aggressive courtroom representation and strategic pre-trial negotiations. With decades of experience handling cases from drug possession to violent crimes, we challenge evidence, file suppression motions, and develop tailored defense strategies. Clients benefit from direct attorney access, transparent case progress updates, and a proven track record of dismissals and reduced charges.
DWI Defense
Specialized DWI defense services challenge field sobriety tests, breathalyzer accuracy, and procedural violations to protect driving privileges and records. We leverage technical resources to analyze blood alcohol content evidence and negotiate pre-trial diversions. With extensive local court knowledge, we secure case dismissals, reduced penalties, and occupational license options while maintaining open client communication throughout the legal process.
CDL Defense
CDL defense services protect commercial drivers' livelihoods by contesting traffic violations, speeding tickets, and DUI charges that threaten license status. We coordinate with Texas Department of Public Safety to prevent license suspensions, negotiate charge reductions, and maintain clean driving records. Our firm understands the unique stakes for professional drivers and provides targeted legal solutions to preserve career opportunities.
Expungement
Expungement services help clients clear criminal records for dismissed cases, juvenile offenses, and certain convictions through legal petition processes. We handle all court filings and hearings to permanently remove charges from public records, enabling better employment, housing, and licensing opportunities. Our team ensures compliance with Texas eligibility requirements while minimizing client involvement in court proceedings.
Traffic Tickets
Traffic ticket defense services contest speeding violations, red light cameras, and moving violations to prevent insurance rate increases and license points. We negotiate plea bargains, challenge evidence, and pursue dismissal options while handling all court appearances. Our firm specializes in protecting CDL holders and out-of-state drivers from long-term consequences of traffic citations.
