Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice provides comprehensive representation for state and federal charges. With board-certified expertise, we handle misdemeanors, felonies, and complex federal cases using strategic advocacy developed through decades of prosecutorial and defense experience. Our approach combines traditional courtroom tactics with innovative legal strategies to protect client futures.
Probation Violation
We defend clients accused of probation violations using insider knowledge from former prosecutorial experience. Our strategies address technical violations and new offense allegations, focusing on maintaining freedom while navigating Texas' strict probation requirements. We explain conditions clearly and fight revocation attempts through negotiated pleas or evidentiary hearings.
Expungement
Our expungement services help clients clear criminal records through Texas' legal processes. We handle eligibility determinations, petition preparation, and court appearances for dismissed cases, not guilty verdicts, and juvenile offenses. We guide clients through complex requirements to achieve clean backgrounds for employment and personal opportunities.
Drug Crimes
We defend state-level drug charges including possession, distribution, and trafficking. Our approach considers drug type, quantity, and circumstances to develop effective defenses. With experience as former prosecutors, we challenge evidence and negotiate reduced penalties while explaining complex drug laws in understandable terms.
Texas Sex Crimes
Our board-certified team defends against state and federal sex crime charges with focus on long-term consequences beyond incarceration. We challenge evidence in cases involving public lewdness, indecency with children, and child pornography while addressing sex offender registration implications. Our defense considers both immediate legal outcomes and future personal impacts.
