Houston Criminal Defense Attorneys
After a defendant chooses our law firm, our objective is to investigate the case thoroughly and advise the client of the result of the investigation. We have been helping clients throughout all stages of the criminal defense process for more than 30 years, including:
- During a criminal investigation
- After arrested
- At bail hearings
- At trial
- During sentencing
- Throughout the appeals process
In our criminal trial cases, our first objective is to get the case dismissed. We want the client to know all of the facts so that the client can make an informed decision as to what the client wants to do with the case. If the client wants a trial, jury trial, or bench trial, then that is the route that is taken. If the client feels that a plea bargain might be in his/her best interests, then that is the route that is taken.
We assist clients in a wide range of criminal defense cases, from misdemeanors to felonies, including:
- Violent crimes, including charges of assault and battery, aggravated assault, manslaughter, murder.
- Domestic violence, such as accusations of physical violence against family members or significant others, as well as emotional abuse, threats and harassment, sexual assault, false imprisonment and kidnapping.
