About Ellic
Biography
I'm a UT Law Grad who's practiced criminal since 2007. I was a felony prosecutor before I was a defense attorney, and I've defended cases at all levels in counties across Texas. I've also published a book and a number of articles on criminal law, been an invited speaker at legal seminars throughout the state, and been designated as an expert witness on criminal procedure in multiple counties.
I'm a trial lawyer who's taken tough felony cases to countless Texas juries and consistently gotten excellent results for my clients. I also handle anything related to criminal law, like appeals, writs, administrative hearings, non-disclosures, and expunctions.
I represent all kinds of clients. Maybe you made a mistake and don’t want it to ruin your life. Maybe you come from a tough background and need someone who sees the good in you. Maybe trouble seems to follow you and you need your rights protected. Whatever it is, I represent people, and I never lose sight of that.
If you’re in trouble—DWI, assault, drugs, theft, domestic violence, sexual assault, murder, any crime at all—I can help you.
