Defense for misdemeanor and felony charges in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, the surrounding counties and across Texas.

How we approach a case

Every case is different, so we don't use a formula.

  • We listen first. You tell us what happened and what worries you most. What you share with your attorney is private.
  • We explain the process. We walk you through the charge, the court, and what each step means, in plain language.
  • We look closely at the evidence. We review police reports, video, lab results and witness statements, and we look at how the evidence was gathered.
  • We talk through your options. Depending on the case, that may mean asking for a dismissal, negotiating with the prosecutor, or preparing for trial. The decisions that matter most are yours, and we help you make them.
  • We keep you informed. We meet with you as your case moves forward, and clients can message their legal team securely through MyCase, our client portal.
