We have decades of experience defending DWI, public intoxication, drug possession, assault, and all other types of criminal cases in Collin County, Dallas County, Denton County, Tarrant County, and throughout Texas. Our tactical approach has resulted in many "not guilty" verdicts and thousands of dismissals.

Being arrested and accused of a crime is a very stressful situation, and it is normal to feel anxious about what will happen next. We will stand by your side and navigate you through this process as we protect your Constitutional rights. Thousands of clients have trusted us with their cases, and we have delivered successful results for an affordable fee.

Types of cases

Driving While Intoxicated

It can happen to anyone. However, a DWI charge doesn't always mean a criminal record or a lengthy suspension of your driver's license. Let us help defend your DWI charge.

Public Intoxication

Driving While Intoxicated

We fight public intoxication charges every day, and get 99% dismissed. It's easy to get arrested for this, but nearly impossible for them to convict you when we are on your side.

Drug Possession

Driving While Intoxicated

Assault-Family Violence

We defend all drug possession cases with compassion, not with judgment or criticism. And, in most cases, we can get these possession charges dismissed off your record.

Assault-Family Violence

There are two sides to every story. Let us be your advocate, and we will vigorously defend you against false or exaggerated accusations of threats, violence, or abuse.

Theft and Shoplifting

Assault-Family Violence

Expunctions of Records

This charge is becoming all too common these days with "self-checkout" mishaps and overzealous security. We can fight these allegations and help save your reputation.

Remember that old criminal case? So does everyone conducting a background check on you. Let's seal or destroy those records, and give you a clean slate.

Result: CASE DISMISSED

Our client's soon-to-be-ex-wife claimed he pushed her during an argument. We discovered a recording in which she stated to a friend she had fabricated the "assault" charge to gain leverage in the divorce case. When presented with this evidence, the State immediately moved to DISMISS the case.

Charge: POSSESSION OF THC

Result: CASE DISMISSED
