I graduated from University of Texas in Austin with honors. I went to law school at Baylor University and graduated number three in my class. I worked for a large law firm until I decided that criminal law was my passion. I worked for the Tarrant County District Attorney for almost eight years. I rose up the ranks to court chief and also served as chief of the juvenile section. In 1999, I left the district attorney's office and opened my own practice. I do 100% criminal law defense. I help people who have been charged with everything from a DWI to capital murder. I have been involved in many cases in which the government is seeking the death penalty. This is a job to me in that it is how I pay my bills - but, I am blessed to get to have a job that I love. I passionately help people who are scared of what may happen to them because the government has charged them with a crime. I work out deals when that is the appropriate thing to do and I fight the government when they have it wrong. If you want a lawyer who will listen and be straight up with you, give me a call. I have 25 years experience and I will help you in your time of need.

Impeccable experience with Joetta
When I got tangled up in a legal situation recently I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Joetta took my case and ran with it and eventually it was dropped. She was very clear on the instructions to follow as far as what to do at court dates and got my punishment down to a minimum and in the sho...

Best criminal lawyer around D.F.W.
She represented me in 2005 and I should have been sent to prison for life. She helped me out of some serious charges. Thank you Joetta! I'm doing well and staying out of trouble. I was blessed to have you as a court appointed attorney.
"Joetta is a skilled and experienced lawyer with a fantastic reputation. As a former DA, I worked with (against) Joetta on several matters and always found her to be an extremely effective advocate for her client. When it comes to presenting a case to a jury, her level of preparation and skill of presentation is exemplary."
