Whatever allegation you or the person you love is facing, reach out to us. We regularly work with cases that include:

Cyber Crimes

Cyber crimes involve illegal activities conducted through computers, networks, or online systems. These can include hacking, identity theft, phishing, cyberstalking, and distribution of illegal content. Given the evolving nature of technology, cybercrime laws and cases can be intricate.

Drug Crimes

Drug crime charges cover a wide range of offenses, including possession, distribution, manufacturing, or trafficking of illegal substances. Penalties can range from fines and probation to lengthy prison sentences, depending on the amount and type of drugs involved.

Underage DUI

An underage DUI charge can have serious implications for a young person’s future, including possible fines, license suspension, mandatory classes, and a lasting impact on their academic and career opportunities. Zero-tolerance laws in Texas mean that any amount of alcohol in the system of an individual under 21 can result in an arrest.

DWI

Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is a serious offense with strict penalties, including fines, jail time, and license suspension or revocation. These charges can escalate if repeat offenses, children, or accidents causing injury are involved. Police officers often rely on chemical tests and field sobriety tests during arrests, but these can often be challenged with proper legal representation.

Expungements

Expungements offer a second chance by clearing qualifying criminal records from public view. This process is vital for individuals seeking to seal their past mistakes and move forward with their lives without the burden of a criminal history. Expunging a record may be able to improve career, housing, and education opportunities. The legal process can be complex and time-sensitive, usually requiring precise documentation and filings.

Sex Crimes

Sex crime charges, such as sexual assault, child pornography, or solicitation, carry severe penalties that may include prison time, registration as a sex offender, and lifelong societal stigma. These cases often rely on sensitive evidence and carry heightened scrutiny from prosecutors and the public. Defending against such accusations may call for a meticulous review of evidence, witness testimony, and law enforcement procedures to protect your rights.

Theft Crimes

Theft crimes include shoplifting, burglary, embezzlement, and auto theft. Depending on the value of the stolen property and the circumstances of the case, these charges can result in probation, hefty fines, and prison time. Prosecutors often focus on intent and evidence, such as surveillance or witness testimony.

Violent Crimes

Violent crimes encompass a wide range of serious offenses, including assault, robbery, murder, and domestic violence. These charges often come with severe penalties like lengthy prison sentences and substantial fines. Domestic violence cases, in particular, may result in restraining orders and family court consequences.
