About Jeff

Learn Jeff’s areas of practice.

The Hampton Law Firm is a law firm that specializes in criminal defense trial litigation. The number one priority of The Hampton Law Firm is to ensure that every client’s rights are protected. I take pride in formulating a defense and strategy that is specific to each individual client’s unique circumstances.

 

As a former prosecutor with the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office, I have held the following positions:

Felony Prosecutor (CDC4, CDC1)
Misdemeanor Prosecutor (CCC9, CCC1, CCC3)
Grand Jury Prosecutor
Special Prosecutor (Johnson County)

When hiring a criminal lawyer, trial experience is a must. During my tenure at the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office, I had the opportunity to litigate a number of criminal jury trials for cases ranging from driving while intoxicated to murder. In the area of DWI litigation, I have tried cases ranging from breath and blood test refusal cases to test cases and drug DWI cases. I have also presented hundreds of cases to the grand jury and have litigated numerous cases before a judge.

While at the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office, I received extensive training and continuing education in all areas of the criminal law. In the area of DWI alone, I have received specialized training in the investigation and litigation of Intoxication Manslaughter, Intoxication Assault, Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, and both alcohol and drug-related DWI cases.

My number one goal for all of my clients is to get their criminal case dismissed. Although it is not possible to get every case dismissed, my philosophy to providing aggressive and effective criminal defense is to not only limit my client's risk but also provide as many possible options to a dismissal, no-bill by the Tarrant County grand jury or reducing the criminal charges to a lesser charge. When it comes to results for my clients, I have been able to get cases dismissed or reduced for offenses ranging from Shoplifting and other types of theft to Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) and more serious cases such as Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, other violent assault and gun-related cases and a variety of drug cases (possession of marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine).

 

Whether I am defending citizens charged with misdemeanors or felony criminal offenses, such as Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), assault, drug offenses, weapon offenses, juvenile crimes, probation revocations, sex offenses, violent offenses or citizens seeking for their record to be cleared, the number one priority of The Hampton Law Firm is to achieve the best possible result for each criminal case. I will use my years of criminal trial experience and knowledge of Texas criminal law to defend you from the allegations the State of Texas has brought against you.

Best Criminal Defense Attorney in Fort Worth
Jeff and his partner, Brandon are both very professional and caring attorneys. They took the time to meet with me on short notice and explained what to expect. the girls answering the phones are very helpful, if they couldn't answer the questions I had, they made sure to call me back with the answer or had the attorney call me. Highly recommend this law firm.

Approval
I hired Mr. Hampton for a very important legal issue that took place almost two decades. He was quick to respond, he walked me through it and was patient in explaining everything that needed to get done and I couldn't be happier with the result. I appreciate his professional attention to a situation that needed immediate help. Thank you!

Great lawyer, great staff, and case was dismissed!!
I hired Jeff Hampton to help me with my DWI case. From the beginning, he explained everything clearly, he walked me through what to expect and his staff was great with answering my calls and questions. Mr Hampton found a legal problem with my traffic stop and had my case thrown out and dismissed after we had a hearing in court. Thank you Mr Hampton! This is the firm to help you if you need your case dismissed and off of your record.

What a Pleasure to work with!
The Hampton Law Firm was a pleasure to work with! I was charged with assaulting a family member but I was innocent. Jeff took the time to sit down with me, explain the process and exactly what his plan was to get the case dismissed. After a few court settings, the case was dismissed! He did what he said he would do and his staff is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend the Hampton law firm to anyone who is facing a criminal case.

He did exactly what He said he would do!
I was wrongfully charged with a felony and Mr. Hampton was reassuring from the very beginning. He calmed me down, reminded me what needed to be done and came through in a big way when he got my felony case dismissed. If you need a serious attorney that gets serious results, this is your man!

2nd degree felony dropped
From the beginning of the Consultation, with Brandon Fulgham and Jeff Hampton the legal advise they both provided was accurate. I was facing a second degree felony and they both said with confidents that I could get the charge dropped to a lesser offense or dismissed. I went ahead and made the decision to hire them. The end result for my case was a ticket! Thanks to Mr. Fulgham and Mr. Hampton and the entire staff. I highly recommend this Firm

Jeff Hampton is Rambo in your defense.
in the last week Jeff Hampton and his team have handled two separate cases for me. Jeff Hampton, his associates, and Ms Cervantes have been nothing short of outstanding. They have exceeded my expectations since day one. With Mr Hampton you will get the toughest fight possible on your behalf. You get true professionalism on an individual and personal level. As a combat war veteran, I highly recommend Mr Hampton to fellow veterans and any other person who is looking for good representation. When you hire him, you will have have peace of mind that everything possible will be done to get you the best outcome he can. He treats everyone of his clients with respect and genuine concern and care for their situation. He is an all around stand up guy and knows the criminal justice system inside and out. His staff including Ms Cervantes swiftly and efficiently address your concerns and maintain awesome communication with everyone involved in your fight. Thanks to the whole team. I am a real client facing real time and when time is precious and of the essence, don't waste time hiring anyone else. One more kicker is that due to my situations with my wife, Mr Hampton got me permission to live in Mexico and travel abroad for the whole duration of my case with the only requirement was me appearing at my court dates. Thanks Again Jeff

Isaiah 1:17
I found myself in an extremely odd situation with my church, where I was put in jail for standing up for my biblical convictions. My wife and I contacted quite a few attorneys trying to find someone who could fully represent me, someone who understood how important obeying Jesus was to me, even it required my death (thankfully we don’t have to worry about death for our beliefs, like many of the early Disciples, but even the threat of death would never stop me from obeying him). My wife was the first to contact Jeff Hampton, and she knew immediately that he was the one I needed defending me. I was skeptical, but in my initial conversation with Jeff, he won me over so much so that we ended up canceling all of our other appointments. When I went in to meet Jeff Hampton and Brandon Fulgham, it felt more like I was sitting down with my personal family members who honestly cared about me, rather than sitting down with two generic attorneys. They were completely honest about my situation, laid out a clear plan to get my case dismissed, spoke to me in layman’s terms without any lawyer jargon, and they were up front about the cost. Everything worked out exactly as they initially explained it would, and they made sure to answer my myriad of questions throughout the length of my case, regardless of how ridiculous they may have sounded. I’m extremely grateful to have been blessed with having such amazing attorneys represent me.

Retained Hampton, a year later I had to hire another attorney
I hired, retained Jeff Hampton over the phone, paid him his 1500.00 retainers, after a year of promises and threats of a serious legal issue, I hired another attorney who dismissed the case in 2 weeks. Jeff Hampton has not called or contacted me about getting my money back. I asked for a copy of my legal file which by law he has to give on the spot. We never received it.
