Why Our Experience In Criminal And Injury Law Matters:

  • Experience in Trial Courts throughout Texas: Our legal team can provide you with the knowledge and experience of legal procedures to help you get a favorable outcome from your case.
  • Access to experts: We can access expert witnesses who can testify on your behalf and strengthen your defense. 
  • Knowledge of evidence rules: We have an understanding of what types of evidence are admissible in court and which ones should not be used in order to file the appropriate motions. 
  • Gather information: Your lawyer may be able to gather witness statements or other forms of valuable information that could help prove your innocence or negotiation a lighter sentence if convicted. 
  • Negotiating skills: If there is enough reasonable doubt, chances are prosecutors may try to strike a deal before trial. Our firm knows how to work these deals out to reduce or even dismiss the charges and/or penalties you face. Serious injury cases can be overwhelming — high medical bills, lost income, and uncertainty about the future. Insurance companies have large and experienced teams of lawyers working against you. You deserve a legal team that knows how to fight back. A team that isn’t afraid of the big insurance companies and has a proven track record of fighting for the underdog.
