Services
DWI Defense
Our DWI defense strategy begins with comprehensive case analysis of traffic stops, field sobriety tests, and chemical evidence. We challenge procedural errors, equipment reliability, and officer training deficiencies while developing alternative explanations for test results. Former prosecutor insights help identify weaknesses in blood alcohol calculations and witness credibility.
Drug Crimes
We defend against possession, distribution, and trafficking charges by challenging search warrant validity, chain of custody issues, and forensic testing accuracy. Our approach includes negotiating diversion programs for first-time offenders and suppressing illegally obtained evidence through pretrial motions.
Probation Revocations
Our team addresses technical violations and new offense allegations through proactive communication with probation officers. We develop rehabilitation documentation, negotiate modified probation terms, and present mitigation evidence during revocation hearings to preserve probation status.
Expunctions
We handle complete criminal record removal for dismissed cases, not-guilty verdicts, and certain expungement-eligible convictions. Our process includes preparing court filings, coordinating with law enforcement agencies, and ensuring full compliance with Texas statutory requirements for record destruction.
Non-Disclosure Orders
For clients completing deferred adjudication probation, we secure court orders restricting public access to criminal records. Our process includes determining eligibility, preparing documentation, and navigating waiting period requirements to improve employment and housing opportunities.
