Crimes Against Children

If you have been accused of committing a crime in which a child was the victim, your situation is particularly serious, as crimes against children carry severe legal and social consequences. These cases require careful handling due to the sensitive nature of the charges. Our defense attorneys can provide legal representation in cases involving charges such as:

• Indecency With a Child
• Online Solicitation of a Minor
• Child Pornography
• Kidnapping
• Child Neglect and Abandonment

Drug Crimes

Texas law treats offenses involving controlled substances seriously. There are strict penalties for drug-related offenses, and they will usually be based on the types of drugs involved in a case and the amounts that you have been accused of possessing, distributing, or manufacturing. Our lawyers can provide a strong defense for charges ranging from simple possession to intent to distribute, trafficking, or manufacturing.

We will review the search and seizure procedures used during a law enforcement investigation, and we can challenge evidence and determine whether alternative sentencing options may be available. We can also provide representation in federal drug trafficking or drug conspiracy cases.

Sex Crimes

If you have been accused of a sex crime, you may face serious penalties that could affect you for years to come, including sex offender registration. Our attorneys can provide representation in cases involving accusations of sexual assault, prostitution/solicitation, voyeurism, revenge pornography, or indecent exposure.

Sex crime cases often involve forensic evidence such as DNA, as well as witness testimonies from accusers or other parties. Our lawyers understand the best ways to respond to accusations, challenge the prosecution's evidence, and defend your rights and reputation.

DWI Charges

Driving while intoxicated (DWI) can lead to multiple types of penalties, including license suspension, fines, and jail time. Our attorneys can help challenge field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, and police procedures to protect your driving privileges and defend against the consequences that may come with a conviction for drunk driving.

Violent Crimes

Allegations of offenses involving harm to others are treated seriously, and convictions can result in severe legal consequences. Our defense lawyers can provide representation in cases involving violent crimes such as:

• Assault and Battery: These charges may occur following physical altercations or incidents involving weapons.
• Domestic Violence: Accusations of violence or abuse against family members, current or former romantic partners, or other people in your household can lead to protective orders and criminal charges.
• Homicide and Manslaughter: If you have been accused of causing another person's death, you may face penalties that could include life in prison or even the death penalty.

White Collar Crimes

Offenses that involve financial fraud are known as white collar crimes. These cases will often involve complex financial issues, and they require an attorney who has a strong knowledge of the applicable laws. We can help defend against charges such as:

• Fraud: Accusations of credit card fraud, bank fraud, insurance fraud, healthcare fraud, or other similar offenses may result in serious consequences.
• Internet Crimes: Offenses involving the use of computers or the internet may include identity theft, wire fraud, or hacking.

• Unlawful Possession of a Firearm: Certain people, such as convicted felons, may be prohibited from owning firearms, and felony charges may apply if they violate these restrictions.
• Illegal Weapon Use: Using a firearm during the commission of a crime or putting others at risk of harm by discharging a gun can result in criminal penalties.
