About Efrain
Biography
I feel very fortunate that I get to help people at such crucial times in their lives. There is nothing more fulfilling than hearing the words "Not Guilty" spoken by the jury foreperson. Or, to see a client's beaming smile when we get an order dismissing a case that we've been working on for a while.
I started as a professional musician, getting a music degree at UNT. However, I realized that I wanted to help people in a more concrete way. I went to UT Law School and opened up my own law firm on January 1, 2000. All I have done these 15 years is criminal defense because that is all I want to do. EVERY time I walk into the court room my client's freedom and reputation is on the line.
The State of Texas or the United States has unlimited resources to go after an individual. I take on that challenge with gusto because I care deeply about fairness and justice for my clients.
Some of my clients have been CEO's or CFO's. Most of my clients, though, have not been from such an executive class. They are hardworking people, who have to work to put food on the table. Many of them do not even speak English. There is no client too small or criminal charge too big that I will not handle.
I practice mainly in the DFW area but have defended cases all over Texas. Contact me for a free visit. If you feel good about our meeting, I would love to fight for you.

DWI Defense

Helped me a lot already!
I am a commercial truck driver and got arrested for a DWI. I wasnt driving a truck at work but my own truck. I don't think the police should have arrested me. I refused to give them breath or blood but that is not good because if I have a commercial driver's license, I am not allowed to refuse. Just ...
