Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do not try to explain your situation to police. Politely invoke your right to remain silent and ask for an attorney immediately. Anything you say can and will be used against you. The sooner you have legal representation, the better your chances of protecting your rights and building a strong defense.
Yes. Innocence alone does not protect you in the criminal justice system. Prosecutors still pursue charges, and mistakes happen. A skilled defense attorney safeguards your rights and helps avoid wrongful convictions.
Immediately. Early intervention can mean:
  • Preventing charges from being filed
  • Securing better bond conditions
  • Preserving key evidence
  • Building a stronger defense strategy
Your first appearance (often called arraignment) is where:
  • Charges are formally presented
  • The court may go over probable cause
  • Bond and bond conditions may be reviewed
  • Misdemeanor: Less serious offenses (up to one year in county jail)
  • Felony: More serious offenses (potential prison time, long-term consequences)
Not necessarily. Many cases are resolved through:
  • Case dismissal
  • Plea negotiations
  • Pretrial diversion programs
However, your attorney must be prepared to go to trial if needed to protect you.
Yes, depending on factors like:
  • Lack of evidence
  • Illegal search or arrest
  • Witness credibility issues
  • Procedural errors
A skilled attorney looks for every opportunity to challenge the case.
Bail is money or a bond posted to secure your release while your case is pending. In Texas:
  • Judges set bail based on the charge and risk factors
  • You may pay cash or use a bail bondsman
  • Conditions may apply (travel restrictions, drug tests, check-ins, etc.)
You have the right to:
  • Remain silent
  • Refuse searches (without a warrant)
  • Have an attorney present
  • Be treated fairly under the law
No. Even innocent statements can be misinterpreted or used against you. Always speak through your attorney.
If your rights were violated (illegal search, improper questioning), evidence may be suppressed, which can weaken or dismiss the case entirely.
Defense strategies vary but may include:
  • Lack of intent
  • Self-defense
  • Mistaken identity
  • Constitutional violation
  • Insufficient evidence
Yes. Depending on the facts, charges may be reduced through negotiation or legal challenges, potentially minimizing penalties and long-term consequences.
A plea deal is an agreement with the prosecutor to resolve your case without trial. Whether to accept depends on:
  • Strength of the evidence
  • Potential penalties
  • Long-term consequences
You should never accept a plea deal without fully understanding your options.
Deferred adjudication is a form of probation where:
  • You avoid a conviction if you complete the terms
  • The case may later be sealed (in some situations)
Under certain circumstances, options include:
  • Expunction — erases the record
  • Non-disclosure — seals the record
Eligibility depends on the outcome of your case.
Fees vary based on:
  • Type of charge
  • Complexity of the case
  • Whether the case goes to trial
Many lawyers offer consultations to discuss your case and pricing.
  • Experienced in a wide variety of criminal cases
  • Affordable and reasonable rates
  • Deep knowledge of Texas law and local courts
  • We move quickly to protect your rights
  • Aggressive, strategic defenses tailored to your case
  • Clear and consistent communication throughout your case
