Jury Trials

Defendants who are charged with crimes are entitled to a trial by jury.  We can and take cases all the way to a jury verdict, if and when necessary.

Plea Bargains

It is sometimes possible to work out a plea-bargain agreement with the State or Federal .  Whether or not to accept the prosecution’s offer is totally up the the client.  Our job is to review the facts and relevant law to make sure that our clients are fully informed before making a decision.

Bond Reduction

Initial bond amounts are often set too high.  We work very hard to get those amounts reduced and are often successful.  For example, we recently got a $100,000 bond reduced to $25,000.  Other bond conditions, such as GPS monitoring are also subject to modification.

Motions to REvoke Probation

The Probation Department can file motions to revoke probation if a probationer violates his or her bond conditions.  Revocation can mean lengthy prison sentences in felony cases.  Our job is to persuade the Court to continue the probationer on his or her probation, if circumstances allow.

Expunctions

It is sometimes possible to erase the record of an alleged criminal offense.  This procedure is especially important when a person has been found 'not guilty' by a jury. 

Appeals

Persons who are convicted in criminal trials have a right to appeal the verdict.  We are highly experienced in criminal appeals.

Federal Court

We defend clients charged with federal crimes in the Western District Of Texas which includes Austin and San Antonio.

Expert witnesses

We retain highly qualified, respected expert witnesses to evaluate evidentiary issues that are critically important to the defense.
