About Marjorie
Biography
Austin, Texas based criminal defense lawyer Marjorie Bachman began her career as a staff attorney and clinical instructor for the Actual Innocence Clinic at the University of Texas School of Law, where her practice focused on post-conviction DNA motions and investigating Texas inmates’ claims of innocence. While working at the clinic, she developed an expertise in the legal issues surrounding forensic DNA testing and the causes of wrongful conviction. In 2007, she left the university to practice criminal defense at both the state and federal level. She continues to serve as an Adjunct Professor to the Actual Innocence Clinic and a member of the board of directors of the Texas Center for Actual Innocence. She is a frequent lecturer on confrontation law, evidence issues, and defending sexual assault cases.

Marjorie Irene Bachman's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Marjorie is one of those lawyers that makes the rest of us feel like underachievers. She has more experience, knowledge, and skill at this point in her career than many lawyers who have been practicing twice as long. She has been a tireless advocate against the death penalty, a protege of such criminal defense legends as Bill Allison and Gerry Morris, and is an all-around badass when it comes to defending some of the toughest cases there are."
"What does it take to be a good criminal defense attorney? You'd better know the law and you'd better be a zealous advocate. Marjorie knows the law, so much so that I've seen judges defer to her several times (in cases we have tried together). More importantly, she's not afraid to tee it up and try cases, and is a persuasive and effective advocate. If you need a criminal lawyer, Marjorie should be at the top of your list."
"Ms. Bachman is a stellar criminal defense attorney with an excellent reputation among criminal defense attorneys, prosecutors, and judges. Although she has only practiced for six years, other experienced attorneys frequently consult with her on complex legal issues. Ms. Bachman really cares about her clients and works extremely hard to get the best results in each case."
