Expungement 30%

Under certain conditions, Texas allows you to file a petition to have your arrest and/or criminal record hidden from public access or even deleted. If you can meet the conditions set forth by Texas law, you can petition a court to have your record deleted. Removing a criminal record completely is known as expungement and, once the order of record expungement has been issued, it is as if you were never arrested or convicted.

Brian is a fantastic lawyer!

I am incredibly happy with my experience with Brian. I have never had to seek legal representation for anything in my life but things happen and I was arrested for public intoxication misdemeanor. I am a frontline worker in healthcare and this isn't something I need on my record. I contacted Brian... the morning after my arrest and he immediately made me feel more at ease about the situation and began working on my case. This all happened during the pandemic and we handled everything through phone and email. Brian was always available for any of my questions and concerns and always got back to be promptly. A few weeks after the offense I was offered a better position at a very reputable hospital and even tho i disclosed the charge because it was pending it put a complete hold on my hiring process. I contacted Brian about what we could do about it seeing at the court date was sometime away and the likely hood it would just get pushed back was very high because of covid. Within a day Brian contacted the city prosecutor and was able to work out a complete dismissal of the case. I would highly recommend Brian to anyone needs a lawyer for these types of situations. I plan on working with Brian later on expunging the offense completely.
