Criminal Defense · Tarrant County & DFW, TX
Charged with a crime in Tarrant County?
An arrest is frightening — but it is not a conviction. The State has already started building its case against you; you shouldn't wait to start building yours. From the first call, you work directly with your attorney to protect your rights, your record, and your future — and you'll always know where your case stands and what comes next.
Focused defense across Texas state charges.
DWI & DUI
First-time and repeat DWI, including license (ALR) hearings and field-sobriety and breath-test challenges.
Drug Offenses
Possession, possession with intent, and related charges — with close attention to how the evidence was obtained.
Assault & Family Violence
Misdemeanor and felony assault allegations, including the protective-order consequences that come with them.
Theft & Property Crimes
Theft, shoplifting, burglary, and criminal mischief, from Class C citations to felony charges.
Weapons Charges
Unlawful carry, possession by a prohibited person, and firearm allegations attached to other offenses.
Probation Violations
Motions to revoke and adjudicate — protecting you when the State says you broke the terms.
Juvenile Offenses
Charges against minors, handled with an eye toward keeping a young person's future intact.
Expunctions & Nondisclosure
Clearing or sealing eligible records so an old arrest stops following you on background checks.
Other State Charges
Facing something not listed here? Reach out — we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
Not sure how your charge is classified, or whether it can be kept off your record? That's exactly what a consultation is for.
Every charge has pressure points. We look for yours.
Scrutinize the stop
Was the stop, search, or arrest lawful? Evidence obtained the wrong way can be challenged or suppressed.
Test the evidence
Breath machines, lab results, and witness accounts are not infallible. We press on what the State must prove.
Negotiate &, when needed, try
Many cases resolve through negotiation — but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
Your rights, in plain English.
You have the right to remain silent, and the right to a lawyer — and using them is not an admission of guilt. The single most important thing you can do is stop talking about your case to anyone but an attorney. Police, "helpful" questions at the station, even calls from jail are recorded and can be used against you.
Behind every case file is a real person with a job, a family, and a reputation on the line. Good people make mistakes, and good people get accused of things they didn't do — both deserve a serious defense. Our role is to understand exactly what happened, explain what you're actually facing, and stand between you and the full weight of the State.
Questions people ask first.
I haven't been charged yet — should I still call a lawyer?
Yes. Some of the most important decisions happen before charges are ever filed. Talking early can keep you from making the situation worse.
What is an ALR hearing, and why the rush?
After a DWI arrest, you generally have only a short window to request a hearing to protect your driver's license — separate from the criminal case. Miss it and the suspension can take effect automatically.
Will my case go to trial?
Many cases resolve through negotiation. But we prepare every case as if it will be tried, because that preparation is what makes a fair resolution possible.
Can a charge be kept off my record?
Sometimes. Depending on the outcome and the offense, you may be eligible for an expunction or order of nondisclosure. We'll tell you whether that's realistic in your case.
What will it cost?
Fees depend on the charge and what the case requires. The initial consultation is confidential and free, and you'll get a straight answer about cost before you commit to anything.
Will I have direct access to my attorney?
Yes. You work directly with your attorney, and keeping clients informed and reachable is something this office prides itself on. When a case calls for it, we also bring in trusted of-counsel colleagues for added depth.
Talk to a lawyer before you talk to anyone else.
Deadlines like ALR license hearings can pass quickly. The sooner we talk, the more we can do.
