Criminal Defense
Attorneys

A DWI arrest can upend your life in a single night — your license, your job, and your freedom are all at stake. Whether this is your first offense or you're facing felony charges due to prior convictions, or the serious allegations of intoxication assault or intoxication manslaughter, our attorneys scrutinize every aspect of the stop, the field sobriety testing, and the reliability of breath and blood results.

Texas has both administrative license revocation and criminal prosecution running on parallel tracks after a DWI arrest. We handle both, fighting to preserve your license at the ALR hearing while defending the criminal case.

Drug charges in Texas carry penalties that can be devastatingly disproportionate to the circumstances. A small amount of marijuana can mean jail time. A prescription medication in the wrong bottle can become a felony. Distribution or trafficking allegations can mean decades in state or federal prison.

We represent people accused of possessing, manufacturing, or distributing controlled substances — from marijuana to methamphetamine to prescription medications — including federal drug conspiracy cases. We challenge the constitutionality of the search, the reliability of lab testing, and the state's evidence at every turn.

Accusations of violence carry a stigma that can damage your relationships and career before you ever see a courtroom. In domestic violence cases, you may find yourself locked out of your home with a protective order in place before anyone has heard your side of the story.

We defend clients charged with assault in all its forms — misdemeanor assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, aggravated robbery, terroristic threats, and deadly conduct. We also handle murder and manslaughter cases where the stakes are highest.

There is no accusation more likely to destroy a person's life than a sexual offense allegation. The stigma is immediate. The potential consequences — including lifetime sex offender registration — can follow you for decades. And the pressure to accept a plea, even when innocent, can feel overwhelming.

We defend clients accused of sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, indecency with a child, online solicitation of a minor, possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material, and related offenses. These cases require careful examination of the allegations, the investigators' conduct, and the evidence.

White collar investigations often begin long before you know you're a target. By the time charges are filed, prosecutors may have spent months or years building their case with grand jury subpoenas, financial records, and cooperating witnesses.

We defend individuals and businesses facing fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, forgery, identity theft, tax violations, and related charges in both state and federal court. These matters require a defense team that understands both the law and the complex financial context underlying the allegations.

Texas has some of the most permissive gun laws in the country — but weapons charges still carry serious consequences, particularly for anyone with a prior felony or in cases that fall under federal jurisdiction. A mistake about where you can carry or your eligibility to possess a firearm can result in years in prison.

We handle state and federal weapons charges including unlawful carrying of a weapon, felon in possession, prohibited weapons, and federal firearms violations including possession of an unregistered NFA item.

Federal cases operate differently. The resources of the federal government, mandatory minimum sentencing, complex guidelines calculations, and the formality of federal court all require a different kind of preparation. Federal prosecutors are selective — they file cases they believe they can win — but that doesn't mean the outcome is predetermined.

We represent clients in federal court across Texas in drug trafficking cases, firearms offenses, fraud and financial crimes, conspiracy charges, immigration violations, and supervised release violations.

When a young person is accused of a crime, the stakes go beyond immediate legal consequences. A juvenile adjudication can affect their education, opportunities, and sense of themselves at a formative moment. The system is designed to prioritize rehabilitation — but that doesn't always happen without an attorney who knows how to advocate within that framework.

We represent juveniles facing delinquency allegations and handle certification hearings where prosecutors seek to try a young person as an adult. Our Board Certified Juvenile Law Specialists bring unmatched depth of knowledge to these proceedings.

Theft charges — whether a misdemeanor shoplifting allegation or a serious felony — can mark you in ways that make it harder to find work, rent an apartment, and move forward for years after the case is resolved. Many of these cases turn on questions of intent, identification, or property value.

We represent clients facing theft, burglary, criminal trespass, unauthorized use of a vehicle, organized retail theft, and related property offense allegations at both the misdemeanor and felony level.
