Criminal Defense
As a board-certified criminal defense attorney with former prosecutorial experience, I provide comprehensive defense strategies for felony and misdemeanor charges. My practice covers assault, drug crimes, and violent offenses, utilizing insider knowledge of prosecutorial tactics to protect clients' rights. With over 2,000 cases handled, I combine trial readiness with negotiation expertise to achieve dismissals, reduced charges, or acquittals while maintaining transparent communication throughout the legal process.
DWI Defense
Specializing in DWI defense with extensive experience as both prosecutor and defense attorney, I challenge blood alcohol evidence, procedural violations, and field sobriety test validity. My approach includes license protection strategies, penalty mitigation, and attacking lab results while leveraging 30+ DWI trials to develop effective defense tactics for first-time or repeat offenses across North Texas jurisdictions.
Federal Crimes
Defending clients in federal court requires specialized knowledge of sentencing guidelines and pre-indictment negotiations. I leverage admission to the Northern and Eastern Districts of Texas bar to challenge complex cases involving drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, and RICO violations. My strategy focuses on early intervention to prevent indictments and minimize mandatory minimum sentences through guideline challenges.
Probation Violations
Addressing probation violations requires understanding both technical and substantive breaches. I work to modify terms, negotiate continuances, or minimize revocation consequences by demonstrating compliance efforts. My experience as former probation prosecutors informs defense strategies that emphasize rehabilitation and reduced sentencing alternatives.
Expungement Services
I specialize in post-conviction relief through expungement and nondisclosure orders. By evaluating eligibility based on case outcomes and criminal history, I help clients remove barriers to employment and housing. This includes handling dismissed charges, completed probation, and qualifying acquittals to restore legal rights and improve future opportunities.
