Some of the MOST COMMON CHARGES in Texas are *DWI, *Theft, *Drug (including marijuana) Possession, and *Assault.
In all of these cases, it is imperative that your defense lawyer be incredibly knowledgeable of the specific, often confusing, laws related to these crimes in order to fully protect your rights.
*DWI/ DUI-
As a member of the National College for DWI/DUI Defense, I am well informed on the latest technology and rules regarding DWI defense. I handle more DWI/DUI cases than any other kind of case. Officers only need probable cause to make a DWI arrest, and failing a field sobriety tests is not always the best indicator of a person’s intoxication level. Juries, however, need to be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that a person is intoxicated. That is why you
need a defense attorney who understands the nuisances and scientific aspects of DWI law.
*Theft-
As a theft lawyer, I have seen almost every type of theft charge in my years of practicing criminal defense. From a high school student who takes something on a dare, to a mother who absentmindedly walks out of a store without paying as she deals with a fussy baby- I’ve seen it all. Whether it’s shoplifting, credit card abuse, aggravated robbery, or anything in between, I have successfully represented clients with all types of theft crimes.
Consequences of having a theft conviction on your record can be life-altering. Call me today so that we can protect your future.
*Drug Possession-
The most common drug crimes are:
Drug Possession
Drug Delivery
Drug Trafficking
Prescription Drug Fraud
Possession of Marijuana
Possession of a Controlled Substance
Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
Possession with intent to Deliver
I have represented clients all over the state of Texas for various drug crimes. If you have been charged with a drug crime, please contact me as soon as possible to begin protecting your future.
*Assault/ Domestic Violence-
As former Tarrant County Assistant District Attorney, one of my positions was that of a Felony Prosecutor in the Family Violence Unit. My experience in that court is an invaluable advantage to my clients. I have a complete understanding of how County Criminal Court 5 works because I solely handled domestic violence cases there for so long.
