I'm a former prosecutor with over 20 years of experience in central Texas courtrooms. I've handled mostly major crimes at the felony level and now leverage that experience for my clients.
There is always another side to the story that's being told by law enforcement. Don't put yourself in the position of telling that story without first speaking with an experienced attorney. Be smart and talk to someone who has seen a situation like this before.
Being charged with a violent crime is a heavy and overwhelming experience. I will help you navigate your situation and find the best path forward.
