Houston, Harris County Criminal Defense Attorney Delivers Stellar Results Backed by Former District Chief Prosecutor Experience

Law, like medicine, is a highly-specialized field. There are over 60 broad disciplines, each with approximately 100 sub-categories.

You wouldn’t hire a general family physician for your surgery.  Don’t hire a general family attorney to defend you on a DWI, Drug, Weapon, Assault, Fraud or other serious criminal charge in Houston, Harris, Fort Bend, Galveston or surrounding counties.

In a serious criminal charge, with your freedom, reputation, career and family’s well-being at stake, a civil or general attorney won’t have the expertise and connections needed to defend you.

“Will the Real Victim Please Stand Up?”

In many cases, the Defendant is the real victim: In the War on Drugs, it’s often the little guy with the drug problem whom jail does nothing to help.  Or the nurse practitioner working for pain clinics, prescribing pain pills for patients according to the protocols of the physician director.  In Family Violence, the hapless husband is usually presumed to be the brute, sacrificed to the system at the whim of his wife’s vengeful anger and lies.  In DWI’s, pity the poor soul who has a couple beers after a hard days’ work – M.A.D.D. lobbies for zero tolerance to result in the arrest of anyone who drinks and drives – although that’s not against the law -  and obtained ridiculous grading standards for sobriety tests which stone-cold sober citizens can’t pass.  In Sex Crimes, a willing consort, often the instigator – and a youthful, precocious one at that – need only cry foul play for a thousand ulterior motives and the rest is history – who needs evidence.  Laws and the politics behind Harris County’s latest hot offenses ~ such as pain clinic cases ~ are complex and fluid, changing every time the Texas Legislature meets.
