Whatever charges you may be facing you want a defense attorney who is on your side and will vigilantly defend your rights. While I can never guarantee a particular outcome, I promise I will work diligently on your behalf.

Drug Possession
If you are charged with possessing or distributing drugs, don’t assume you’ll be found guilty. A wide range of legal defenses area available ranging from denying ownership to illegal search, entrapment and beyond.

Drug Trafficking
Texas has some of the country’s harshest drug trafficking and distribution laws. If you are accused of drug trafficking, you need the best possible legal defense.  I provide experienced legal counsel at each stage of your drug trafficking criminal case.

Probation Violation
As a Texas violation of probation lawyer, I will fiercely advocate on your behalf to keep you on probation and prevent incarceration. 

DWI
Law enforcers have a number of means to determine if you are driving while intoxicated yet there is no guarantee those tests will be administered properly or prove accurate. I will review your DWI case and determine the optimal legal strategy to retain your freedom.

Unlawful Possession of a Firearm
The right legal defense will help you beat this charge or minimize the potential penalty. As an example, if the weapon was identified during an illegal search and seizure or during an unlawful traffic stop, I will help you avoid penalty.

Possession or Distribution of Child Porn
Being found guilty of possession or distributing child porn has the potential to ruin your life. Let me develop a strategy to help minimize the damage from these charges.

Domestic Violence
The right attorney will beat your domestic violence charge or at the very least reduce your penalty. Instead of stressing out, reach out to my law firm so I can begin formulating your legal defense.

Evading Arrest
The accusation of evading arrest does not have to lead to a significant penalty. Though this is a serious crime in Texas that can lead to 20 years in prison, a legal defense such as the arresting officer not identifying him or herself will help preserve your freedom.

Theft
If you are charged with theft, don’t panic. Theft charges require the defendant has the intent to steal the item in question. Alter ego defenses, permission, ownership of the property and claim of right are examples of legal defenses against theft charges.

Public Intoxication
Public intoxication is a crime but I can help you avoid fines and jail. 

Interfering With a 911 Call
Texas considers interfering with emergency calls to be a Class A misdemeanor offense that leads to thousands of dollars in fines and jail. Instead of pleading guilty to a misdemeanor, put up a legal defense with my assistance.

Assault
Self-defense and defense of others are the legal defenses most often used when accused of assault. I will help you avoid a full year in jail and upwards of $4,000 in fines.

Solicitation
Solicitation is the sale of sex through prostitution. The circumstances of the event shape the ensuing legal defense that will ultimately help you avoid 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine.

Expungements
In Texas, expunction is applicable to Class C misdemeanors resulting in deferred adjudication or offenses not resulting in conviction regardless of level, where charges were not filed, charges were dismissed, or the person was acquitted or pardoned. I will help you avoid a permanent criminal record, safeguard your professional reputation and also help you remain eligible for employment.

Non Disclosures
Non Disclosure orders are court orders that prohibit police and courts from revealing criminal records. I will help you obtain such an order to safeguard your privacy and ensure justice is served.
