Our lawyers have decades of experience representing people suspected, charged, or convicted of violating Texas state law. Some of the more serious cases involve capital murder, murder, aggravated assault, intoxication assault, and other assaultive offenses. Another common offense we handle is sexual assault, which not only carries severe penalties if the individual is convicted and collateral consequences such as sex offender registration, but is complicated by the fact that sometimes juries have a difficult time understanding how people can make false allegations.

We conduct a thorough investigation of the facts and the law relevant to each case and advocate zealously on our clients’ behalf to prevent charges, convince a judge or jury to acquit (find not guilty), or get the lowest sentence possible.
