Services
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice leverages decades of prosecutorial and defense experience to challenge charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies. We analyze evidence, negotiate plea deals, and litigate trials with a focus on minimizing penalties or securing dismissals. Our team's insider knowledge of prosecution tactics provides strategic advantages in cases involving assault, drug charges, and federal crimes, ensuring clients receive robust, tailored representation.
DWI/DUI Defense
Specializing in Texas DWI defense, we scrutinize arrest procedures, field sobriety tests, and chemical evidence to identify procedural errors. Our approach includes challenging breathalyzer accuracy, negotiating reduced charges, and representing clients in license suspension hearings. With former prosecutorial insight, we address first-time offenses, repeat violations, and aggravated DWI cases to protect driving privileges and minimize long-term consequences.
Family Law
We handle complex family law matters including divorce, child custody, and support with sensitivity to emotional challenges. Our services focus on equitable asset division, establishing custody arrangements in children's best interests, and modifying existing agreements. Certified mediation services help resolve disputes amicably while preparing for litigation when necessary, ensuring clients' parental rights and financial interests are protected under Texas law.
Assault Defense
Defending against assault charges requires understanding both legal technicalities and case-specific nuances. We challenge evidence credibility, investigate self-defense claims, and negotiate reduced charges for simple or aggravated assault. Our experience with Texas Penal Code Chapter 22.02 enables strategic defense in domestic violence, weapon-related, and felony assault cases, prioritizing charge dismissals or minimized sentencing impacts.
Personal Injury
We advocate for injury victims in truck accidents, wrongful death, and general negligence cases. Our representation includes negotiating with insurance companies, calculating compensation for medical expenses and lost wages, and litigating complex claims. Focusing on 18-wheeler collisions and catastrophic injuries, we ensure clients receive fair settlements covering immediate and long-term recovery needs through thorough investigation and expert testimony.
