Criminal Defense
Mandy Miller Legal provides comprehensive criminal defense for misdemeanor and felony charges, including drug crimes, DWI, and violent offenses. Our approach combines trial experience with appellate expertise to challenge evidence, identify prosecutorial errors, and negotiate reduced charges. Clients receive personalized strategies tailored to their specific cases, with a focus on protecting constitutional rights and achieving dismissals or acquittals. The firm's former district attorney perspective offers unique insights into prosecutorial tactics.
Post-Conviction Appeals
Specializing in post-conviction relief, we file direct appeals and writs of habeas corpus to challenge wrongful convictions. With over 130 appellate briefs authored, our practice includes overturning death sentences, securing new trials, and reversing flawed verdicts. We examine trial errors, ineffective counsel claims, and newly discovered evidence to build compelling appellate arguments. Our board-certified appellate expertise targets legal technicalities and constitutional violations that impacted case outcomes.
DWI Defense
Our DWI defense targets procedural errors, illegal searches, and faulty breathalyzer results to challenge drunk driving charges. We leverage Texas' evolving blood test warrant requirements and field sobriety test limitations to suppress evidence. Services include license suspension hearings, plea negotiations, and trial representation for first-time and repeat offenses. The firm's familiarity with local courts and prosecutors enables strategic defense tailored to regional legal precedents and evidentiary standards.
Expungement Services
We assist clients in clearing criminal records through expungement processes for eligible offenses under Texas Code Criminal Procedure Article 55.01. This includes dismissed charges, pardons, and completed deferred adjudications. Our services cover petition preparation, court filings, and evidence presentation to secure record destruction. We focus on restoring employment opportunities and eliminating lifelong collateral consequences from past arrests or convictions.
Sexual Assault Defense
Defending against sexual assault allegations involves challenging evidence credibility, establishing consent, and protecting constitutional rights. We handle cases from initial investigation through trial, focusing on DNA analysis, witness credibility assessments, and procedural violations. Our strategies address statutory rape, acquaintance assault, and false accusation scenarios. The firm prioritizes minimizing registration requirements and mitigating lifelong social and legal consequences associated with sex crime convictions.
