Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice handles felony and misdemeanor cases across Texas, including drug crimes, assault, and DWI/DUI charges. With over 60 years of combined experience, we challenge evidence, protect rights, and negotiate reduced sentences. Our board-certified attorney leverages insider knowledge from prior work in the Brazoria County District Attorney's Office to build strong defense strategies.
DWI/DUI Defense
Specialized defense for alcohol-related driving charges in Texas courts. We challenge breathalyzer accuracy, procedural violations, and field sobriety test validity. Our board-certified criminal law specialist develops case-specific defenses to minimize penalties and protect driving privileges for first-time and repeat offenders.
Juvenile Crimes
We represent minors aged 11-17 facing charges like vandalism, theft, and curfew violations. Our attorneys work to prevent permanent records while addressing underlying issues. We guide families through Texas' unique juvenile justice system, advocating for rehabilitation over punitive measures in Pearland and Brazoria County courts.
Personal Injury
We represent clients injured through others' negligence in car accidents, slip-and-falls, and workplace incidents. Our contingency-based representation ensures no upfront costs, with fees only collected after successful case resolution. We negotiate with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses and lost wages.
Drug Crimes
Our defense covers possession, manufacturing, and trafficking charges under Texas law. We challenge unlawful search and seizure practices, lab analysis errors, and chain-of-custody issues. The firm's board-certified specialist develops defense strategies to reduce charges or secure dismissal for first-time and repeat drug offense defendants.
