About Mekisha
Biography
Being contacted by the police can be an intimidating experience for anyone, but when you have been arrested and charged with a crime, your life can change forever. Potential employers, creditors, and even college admission offices can see a criminal arrest and/or conviction on your background. This is precisely why hiring a defense attorney with the proper trial skills, communication skills and knowledge of the law and criminal justice system is such a critical decision. I will do all possible to keep a final conviction off your record. With your freedom at stake, you need someone who is not afraid to fight for you. Remember, you are not guilty until they prove you are guilty. I am highly respected by my peers and former clients alike.
As a former Assistant District Attorney and Felony Prosecutor for Harris County, I know the ropes and I can lead you through the process, protect your rights, zealously represent your case and obtain truly remarkable results. While working at the District Attorney's office, I handled various crimes on both the misdemeanor and felony level, where I gained valuable trial experience. Having prosecuted cases from arraignment through trial provides a perspective and advantage over other defense attorneys in that I am truly able to see the case from both sides and prepare your defense with their strategies in mind. My defense representation is both strategic and results-oriented. I know what his at stake in criminal cases and I am fully aware how the outcome can impact your future.
I have lived in Houston all my life. I love spending time with family when I am not working. The best job ever is being a mom! My family has a little land north of Garner State park on the Frio River where I practically grew up as a kid. We love to go out to the Frio when we can get away. But my passion is the law. So, please contact me if I can be of assistance.
