Criminal Defense & Personal Injury Lawyers in Houston
Criminal Defense in Houston
A criminal charge in Harris County can mean jail time, steep fines, and a permanent record. Our team handles DWI, drug charges, assault, theft, white collar, sex crimes, weapons, federal, and juvenile cases. Several of our lawyers are former prosecutors, and three are Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. For how we approach each type of charge, visit our Houston criminal defense attorney page.
Personal Injury in Houston
When someone else's negligence causes you harm, you deserve full and fair compensation, and you pay nothing unless we win. We represent people hurt in car, truck, and motorcycle wrecks, premises liability incidents, wrongful death, and catastrophic injury cases. For detail on each type of claim, see our Houston personal injury lawyer page.
Why Choose Varghese Summersett in Houston
Board Certified Specialists
Our team includes three Board Certified Criminal Law Specialists, Anna Summersett, Benson Varghese, and Letty Martinez, plus two Board Certified Juvenile Law Specialists, Mike Hanson and Lisa Herrick. Board Certification from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization is earned by fewer than 10% of Texas attorneys and requires rigorous testing, peer review, and demonstrated expertise.
Former State and Federal Prosecutors
Several of our lawyers previously served as prosecutors, the plaintiffs in criminal cases. That trial experience is invaluable across all our practice areas. It helps us bring civil cases as plaintiffs (where the burden of proof is lower than in criminal cases), defend criminal cases more effectively (because we know how prosecutors think and build cases), and represent clients in family court with the confidence that comes from courtroom experience. There's no better training than being in trial as a prosecutor.
Trial-Ready Attorneys
Whether defending against criminal charges or fighting for injury compensation, we prepare every case for trial. That leverage gets better outcomes, and insurance companies and prosecutors know when they're up against lawyers who aren't afraid of the courtroom.
