Examples of Criminal Defense in Dallas

Our Dallas criminal defense lawyers have experience helping clients navigate the following types of cases:

Domestic violence. Domestic violence charges are incredibly serious, as they can lead to long-term consequences for the defendant. These may come in the forms of restraining orders or child custody rights being stripped. False allegations of domestic violence are not taken lightly by the court and come with their own set of penalties. If your life has been negatively affected by false charges, you may be entitled to damages compensation. Our attorneys will stand by your side to represent you in and out of court.
Misdemeanors. If you're facing a misdemeanor, having a lawyer who can advocate for your rights and even help you pursue something like an expungement is invaluable. Common examples of misdemeanors include shoplifting, petty theft, and trespassing.
Felonies. Felonies are the most serious type of criminal offense, so having an attorney you can trust throughout your felony case is crucial. These come in the forms of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree, ranging in seriousness and penalties.

Assault. An assault occurs when someone intentionally and knowingly causes or threatens harm towards someone else. This can also come in the form of unwanted or offensive physical contact. Our lawyers understand the most effective ways to represent clients during assault cases.
Drug possession. Depending on the amount and type of drug you are charged with possessing, your range of penalties will differ. We'll help you navigate your case and pursue the best possible outcome.
Probation revocation. Obtaining probation can give you some of your freedom back - our lawyers will fight for you to maintain your probation rights.
DWI/DUI. Being convicted of a DWI or DUI could completely change your life. The penalties differ for 1st time offenders, so it's imperative you know your rights. Our attorneys will represent you through thick and thin and will help to try and reduce or drop the charges.
