Criminal Defense in Central/South Texas
The Stakes
Facing criminal charges in Texas can significantly impact your life, potentially threatening your liberty, employment, and reputation. In Texas, offenses fall into two broad categories:
Misdemeanors
Felonies
We handle all levels of criminal defense, including:
Class C misdemeanors
(e.g., minor traffic violations, petty theft)
Class A & B misdemeanors
(Assault, DWI, Drug Possession)
State jail felonies
(some drug, theft, and low-level property crimes)
Third-degree to capital felonies
(Aggravated assault, Family Violence, Major drug offenses)
Why Early Intervention Matters
“If you’re arrested, or think you may be in danger of being arrested, your first call should be to an attorney.”
Exercise your right to remain silent
anything you say can be used against you.
Request legal counsel immediately
even routine traffic stops can escalate into serious offenses.
Avoid self-help
never try to negotiate with police or prosecutors without representation.
Common Criminal Defense Matters
Assault & Family Violence
Domestic violence cases can carry enhanced penalties and no-contact orders. We will ensure you are aware of your rights and strategize a defense with the goal of pressuring the District Attorney’s office to dismiss your case.
Drug Charges
From simple possession to trafficking, drug offenses trigger mandatory minimums. We challenge search procedures, negotiate for diversion programs, and seek reduced charges.
DWI & Traffic Crimes
San Antonio drivers face stiff penalties for driving under the influence. Our lawyers scrutinize breath-test protocols, field sobriety tests, and arrest procedures to identify weaknesses.
Theft & Property Crimes
Shoplifting, burglary, and theft cases can escalate if priors exist. We evaluate restitution options, affirmative defenses, and diversion eligibility.
Alternative & Rehabilitation-Based Programs
Most courts in Texas offer Pre-trial diversion (PTD), a special program, typically reserved for first-time offenders, which offers a path to dismissal after completing conditions like community service or counseling. Successful completion of PTD often makes the charge eligible for a record expunction.
Trial-Ready Representation
While many cases settle, we never shy away from trial. Our courtroom-tested approach includes:
Thorough Investigation
we utilize private investigators, subpoena records, and review body camera footage.
Strategic Motions
we file motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence or dismiss charges on jurisdictional grounds.
Compelling Advocacy
we present your story persuasively to prosecutors, judges, and juries.
