Aggressive Criminal Defense in Southlake

A criminal charge in Texas carries consequences that can strip away your freedom and your reputation. Our attorneys approach every case with a prosecutor’s mindset, looking for the cracks in the state’s evidence. Under Texas Penal Code Section 12.21, a Class A misdemeanor conviction can lead to up to one year in jail and fines reaching $4,000.

We handle a wide range of criminal matters, including:

  • DWI and alcohol-related offenses
  • Drug possession and distribution
  • Assault and family violence allegations
  • Theft and white-collar crimes

Texas law allows for the suppression of evidence if your constitutional rights were violated during an arrest. We scrutinize police reports and body cam footage to identify procedural errors. If the Southlake Police or Tarrant County Sheriff’s deputies overstepped their bounds, we push to have those charges dropped or reduced.

Southlake DWI Defense and ALR Hearings

Texas maintains some of the strictest drunk driving laws in the country. If you are arrested for DWI, you face two separate battles: the criminal case and the Administrative License Revocation (ALR) process. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, you have only 15 days from the date of your arrest to request a hearing to save your driver’s license.

Our team aggressively challenges the scientific validity of breathalyzer and blood tests. We look at the calibration logs of the equipment and the specific training of the arresting officer. If a conviction occurs, we fight for an occupational license so you can continue to provide for your family and commute to work.

Serious Representation for Family Law Matters

Divorce and child custody disputes in Southlake require a serious, strategic approach. Under Texas Family Code Section 153.002, the best interest of the child is the primary consideration for any court. This standard is broad, meaning you need an assertive advocate to ensure your parental rights are not sidelined.

We represent clients in:

  • High-asset divorce and property division
  • Child custody and visitation disputes
  • Spousal maintenance and child support
  • Modifications of existing court orders

Texas is a community property state. This means without a seasoned lawyer, your hard-earned assets could be at risk during a split. We work to ensure an equitable division that reflects the reality of your contributions.

Texas Personal Injury Claims

If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence on State Highway 114 or near Town Square, you are entitled to pursue damages. Texas follows a proportionate responsibility rule under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 33.001. This means you can still recover compensation as long as your percentage of responsibility is not greater than 50%.

We handle catastrophic vehicle accidents and unsafe property claims with a focus on maximizing your recovery. We do not settle for the first low-ball offer from an insurance company. Our lawyers prepare every case as if it is going to trial, ensuring the opposition knows we are ready for a fight.
