Defending your criminal case in the strongest possible way is critical to both your freedom and your future because individuals convicted of a crime in the State of Texas are subject to confinement, imprisonment, probation, fines, court costs and community service.

The outcome of any criminal case depends upon several factors: the facts surrounding the charges, the strength of the evidence, the legal validity of law enforcement and courtroom procedures, the goals and strategy of the government and defense and the skill and experience level of your criminal defense attorney.

As a skilled Denton Criminal Lawyer, I am committed to providing you with the attention necessary to meet all of your legal needs as they arise in criminal cases. I pride myself in offering professional attention to every case, no matter how big or small.

My clients come first, and I will do what it takes to defend and uphold your rights.

I have made a conscious decision to limit my practice in two specific ways. First, I try to limit the types of cases that I take to only those dealing with criminal law. Every area of the law seems to be constantly changing either by decisions of the Texas Legislature or by any of the sixteen Courts of Appeals in Texas including the Texas Supreme Court and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. It would be impossible for anyone to keep up with all those changes occurring in every area of the law on almost a weekly basis. By limiting my practice in this way it has allowed me to become adept in criminal law.

Secondly, I limit the number of cases that I take so that I am not a "volume" law firm where you are just another number. On the contrary, I represent a limited number of qualified clients. For many people a criminal charge is the most painful, stressful, emotionally debilitating and dehumanizing experience they will ever suffer. My desire is to minimize the toxic effects of these types of legal problems on you, your spouse, your children, your extended family, your jobs and other far reaching affects that problem in this areas of the law can have.


Case:  Client arrested for DWI with a breath test result of .13. Client employed by UPS on their docks. He wants to be a driver but they will not allow him to be a driver if he has a DWI conviction.
Result:  I was able to get the Court to suppress the breath test results which resulted in a “Not Guilty” verdict from the jury. Client is now a delivery driver for UPS and my office was on his route.

Case:  Client arrested for DWI with a refusal to take a breath test. Client is a Vice President of a Bank and a DWI conviction will cause problems for him at work.
Result:  After a week long trial the jury was unable to come to a unanimous decision resulting in a hung jury. The State of Texas decided to offer us Deferred Probation on Obstruction of a Highway allowing the client to walk away without any criminal conviction and not affecting his career at all.

Case:  Client arrested for assaulting his wife. An ugly divorce case soon followed. A conviction on this case would have had ramifications for his divorce.
Result:  After a three day trial the jury returned a “Not Guilty” verdict after 24 minutes of deliberations.

Case:  A police officer is arrested for DWI. His superiors give him the option to resign which he declines. They tell him that if he is convicted for the DWI or if his driver’s license is suspended he will be fired.
Result:  Grand Jury found no probable cause for the arrest and the Texas Department of Public Safety never suspended his license.

Case:  Client arrested for DWI.  Client was an IT recruiter whose career was in jeopardy as a result of this arrest.
Result:   A hearing was held by the Court outside the presence of the jury in which the officer was confronted with the fact that his testimony in this hearing was totally different than his testimony at an earlier hearing. The Court suppressed the only field sobriety test administered by the arresting officer stating that the Court’s decision was “based totally on the Court’s impression of the credibility of [the officer] with respect to how he testified.” The Court then ordered the jury to return a verdict of “Not Guilty.”
