Felonies & Misdemeanors

Crimes categorized as felony offenses are those crimes considered more serious by the state. Felony offenses have greater punishment ranges imposed by law than those for misdemeanors. A felony can be any one of a number of underlying crimes, such as murder, assault, battery, robbery, drug possession, narcotics sales, theft, grand larceny, white collar fraud, embezzlement, sexual offenses, arson, and conspiracy.

Misdemeanor offenses are categorically less severe than felonies. However, conviction of a misdemeanor can result not only in a criminal record but also a jail sentence. Both the state and federal laws have a vast assortment of felony and misdemeanor offenses which can lead to prosecution.

Due to the severe consequences of any conviction, securing the best available representation is essential. If you have been charged with a crime, call us at 254-757-2082 immediately for a free initial consultation. There is much that can be done to protect your rights and secure the best possible outcome for your case.

DUI / DWI

We represent those charged with drunk driving (DWI / DUI) and other serious traffic-related offenses such as driving after license revocation, driving after suspension, reckless driving, and so forth.

Such charges can have serious consequences. A conviction of DWI will result in fines and possible jail time. In addition, your insurance company may increase your rates to an unmanageable level. You may lose your license. In defending against a DWI charge, you have many rights, including the right to cross-examine the witnesses against you, even if they are police officers. An experienced attorney can make all the difference. If you are facing a DWI charge, call us at 254-757-2082 for a free initial consultation.
