Our Approach

🔍 Thorough Investigation

We investigate every aspect of your case, examining police reports, witness statements, and evidence to identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case.

🛡️ Protect Your Rights

We ensure your constitutional rights were respected—from the initial stop to the arrest to interrogation. Rights violations can lead to dismissed charges.

💪 Aggressive Negotiation

Many cases are resolved through negotiation. We fight for reduced charges, alternative sentencing, or dismissal when the facts support it.

⚔️ Trial Ready

If trial is the best option, we're ready. We prepare every case as if it's going to trial, because that preparation leads to better outcomes.

Know Your Rights

If you've been arrested or are under investigation, remember these important rights:

🤐

Right to Remain Silent

You don't have to answer questions. Anything you say can be used against you. Politely decline to answer until your attorney is present.

👨‍⚖️

Right to an Attorney

You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning. Ask for your lawyer immediately and don't say anything until they arrive.

🚫

Right to Refuse Searches

You can refuse consent to search your vehicle, home, or belongings. If police search without consent or a warrant, the evidence may be inadmissible.

📞

Right to Make a Phone Call

After arrest, you have the right to make a phone call. Use it to contact family or your attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I'm arrested? +
Stay calm and be polite, but exercise your rights. Clearly state that you wish to remain silent and that you want an attorney. Don't resist arrest, don't try to explain your side, and don't consent to searches. Call an attorney as soon as possible.
How much does a criminal defense attorney cost? +
Fees vary based on the complexity of the case and the charges involved. We offer competitive rates and payment plans for qualified clients. The cost of not having proper representation—potential jail time, fines, and a criminal record—far exceeds attorney fees. Contact us for a confidential consultation.
Can charges be dropped or reduced? +
Yes, in many cases. Charges can be dismissed due to insufficient evidence, rights violations, or procedural errors. Charges can be reduced through plea negotiations. Every case is different, but an experienced attorney knows how to identify opportunities for the best outcome.
Will this go on my permanent record? +
A conviction typically results in a permanent criminal record. However, some offenses may be eligible for expunction (complete removal) or non-disclosure (sealing) under Texas law. We can advise you on your options and work toward outcomes that minimize long-term consequences.
Should I just plead guilty and get it over with? +
Never plead guilty without consulting an attorney. A guilty plea results in a conviction on your record and can affect employment, housing, professional licenses, and more. Even if you think the evidence is strong, there may be defenses or negotiation opportunities you're not aware of.
