We pride ourselves on our thorough understanding of the local legal landscape in Houston, which allows us to provide effective representation for clients residing or charged with crimes in this jurisdiction.
Charging Dismissal
Often, the best defense begins before charges are formally filed or before a case is scheduled for court. We utilize various pre-charge and pre-trial diversion programs available in the Houston area. Our goal is to identify opportunities to have charges dismissed or reduced, saving our clients time, money, and the significant personal and professional consequences that a criminal record can entail.
Plea Bargaining
For many criminal cases, a negotiated plea agreement can be the most efficient and effective way to resolve the matter. We skillfully negotiate with prosecutors to secure favorable plea deals that minimize penalties and address our clients' best interests. Our team ensures that clients fully understand the implications of any plea agreement before accepting it.
Pre-Trial Motions
Before a case proceeds to trial, we file various pre-trial motions to challenge the prosecution's evidence, suppress unlawfully obtained evidence, or dismiss charges based on legal errors. Motions such as a Motion to Quash, Motion to Suppress, or Bill of Information challenges are critical tools in our arsenal to protect our clients' rights.
License and Occupational Crimes
For clients whose professional licenses or employment are at stake, we provide specialized defense for occupational crimes.
