Our Experience Covers All Kinds of Violent Crimes
In Texas, violent crimes and assaults are considered felonies which means a conviction will most likely include jail time.

Taking steps to prove your innocence or lessen sentencing can have a considerable payoff for defendants. Our team is experienced in providing strong defense cases in various scenarios. The important thing to remember is that no matter the crime, every case is unique.

How to Fight Charges of Violent Crimes
As a defendant, you should never lose hope or assume too much is stacked against you in any case.

Our team will take a comprehensive look at your case to find weaknesses and holes. Our strategy will be to cast any and all doubt we can on your case and the charges. How do we do this? We’ll look at things such as:
