Reputation and Experience Matter
When hiring a criminal lawyer, one of the most important considerations is the reputation of the criminal lawyer among prosecutors, judges and fellow attorneys. Choosing a criminal lawyer that is respected by judges and prosecutors can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. It is important that your criminal lawyer is known and respected in the courtroom.

When hiring a criminal lawyer, trial experience is a must.

I have also presented hundreds of cases to the grand jury and have litigated numerous cases before a judge.
While at the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office, I received extensive training and continuing education in all areas of the criminal law. In the area of DWI alone, I have received specialized training in the investigation and litigation of Intoxication Manslaughter, Intoxication Assault, Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, and both alcohol and drug-related DWI cases.
