Felonies and misdemeanors, defended in Eastland's courts
A criminal charge in a small county can feel like the whole town already knows. What matters now is what happens in the courtroom — and having a defense lawyer who is already a familiar face there. Patrick handles felony cases in the 91st District Court and misdemeanor cases in the county court at the Eastland County Courthouse, for clients across Eastland, Cisco, Ranger, Gorman, Rising Star, and Carbon.
That includes charges such as DWI, drug possession, assault and family-violence allegations, theft, and probation or bond issues. Whether the right path is a dismissal, a reduction, a negotiated plea, or a trial, you'll get a straight assessment of where your case actually stands — not a sales pitch.
Why being in the courthouse regularly matters
Every courthouse runs on its own rhythms — how dockets are called, how the district attorney's office evaluates cases, what judges expect. A lawyer who is in the Eastland County courthouse often doesn't spend your case learning those things for the first time. Patrick's office is in Bedford, in the DFW Metroplex, but Eastland County is regular ground — not a detour.
