About Richard
Biography
Rick Harrison has successfully defended the people of North Texas since 1989. He is a Past President of the Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and the former District Attorney of Kaufman County with over 200 jury trials. Let him put his unique level of experience to work for you.
Do you know you don't have to attempt to do the field sobriety tests when a police officer pulls you over and asks you to? You can politely decline and ask to speak to a lawyer. And you always have right to remain silent when asked questions. Politely decline and say you want to speak to a lawyer.
I have tried over 50 murder and capital murder jury trials, including 7 death penalty capital murder cases. You need a lawyer with real experience in violent crime cases.
