Not all criminal defense attorneys are created equal. I represent clients in courts throughout Texas. My clients count on my vigorous and personalized defense, and many have seen charges reduced or dismissed thanks to my proactive strategies. While your results will vary based on the facts of your circumstances, I’ll work closely with you to protect your future and best interests. My results span counties across Texas for defense against serious accusations. Here are some of the case results I have helped my clients achieve:

Representing Clients Throughout Texas –

Attempted Sexual Assault – Harris County


Client accused of trying to have sex with a colleague that was allegedly passed out. Evidence showed the girl had not passed out, then the accusation changed to my client having put something in her drink. That was proven to be untrue. The case was dismissed.

DWI 2ND – Not Guilty – Jefferson County


Client was arrested for a 2nd DWI after being stopped for driving the wrong way down the highway. After three days of trial, jury rightfully decided the accusation was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The assumption that driving on the wrong side of the highway and having a prior DWI arrest, did not prove the client was intoxicated.

Assault Family Member & Criminal Mischief – Not Guilty – Harris County


Client accused of grabbing his girlfriend by her throat and lifting her off the ground and throwing her into the wall. Our client was also accused of stomping on her phone to conceal the video recording of the incident.

The jury found her not to be credible and there was no evidence to support her accusations.

Possession of Marijuana – Not Guilty – Brazoria County


Our client was on a felony probation for manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance, after he got into a car accident. During a search of the vehicle, the Officer’s found 2 ounces of marijuana in the vehicle. The arrest led to the State wanting to revoke his probation and send him to prison. The jury found the client not guilty because there was no evidence the client knew about the presence of marijuana in the vehicle.  State agreed to dismiss the motion to revoke his probation.

Solicitation of Prostitution – Dismissed – Harris County


The client was a massage parlor that was wired with cameras as a sting operation by HPD. A female officer posing as a masseuse and claimed that my client offered her $100 for sex.

DWI – Not Guilty – Montgomery County


Client was a doctor that side swiped a car on his way home from a late shift at the hospital. Police came to his house, and he had a drink in his hand. He was arrested for DWI.

Prostitution


The client posted on a social meeting website to call her for a good time. She met with whom she believed to be the individual wanting to have a good time, but he was an undercover police officer.

After he would not answer the door, she throws a rock through the window and begins to climb through the window. At that point, her boyfriend unlocked the door, my client entered the apartment bleeding from both arms trying to climb through the broken window. Client allegedly hit the ex-boyfriend in the face leading to a 1st Degree felony charge. Bad facts do not always lead to bad results.

Compelling Prostitution – Dismissed – Harris County


Client accused of coercing or forcing a girl to engage in prostitution. After four different cell phones were forensically analyzed, there was no evidence that our client had anything to do with prostitution. In fact, it showed that they were romantically involved and there was never any money exchanged. She lied to the police in order to avoid being charged with prostitution.

DWI Child Passenger & UCW – Dismissed – Harris County

Retaliation – Felony Reduced to Misdemeanor – Harris County


The client was charged with retaliation after placing a burning a cross in the complainant’s front yard. The act was in response to something that happened at school. The truth was that my client was present, but it was not his idea or acts that led to that cross being placed in the yard. State agreed to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor as the client made a poor decision to go along with the other guys but was not guilty of the hate crime.
