Defending Felony Charges
I have extensive experience fighting felony charges, including:
- Capital murder, murder and attempted murder
- Breaking and entering, armed robbery and common law robbery
- Embezzlement, larceny and shoplifting
- Drug trafficking or manufacturing crimes
If you have three previous felony convictions, and are charged with a fourth, the court can treat you as a habitual felon. Being charged as a habitual felon significantly enhances the prison sentence you face, up to ten times. It is important to turn to an experienced criminal defense attorney for help protecting your rights against these charges.
Defending Misdemeanors
It’s all about choices when you are facing misdemeanor charges such as:
- ssault
- Domestic violence
- Minor drug offenses
- Trespassing
- Vandalism
- Minor alcohol offenses
Do you want to risk a conviction at trial or work out a plea agreement? You may decide to avoid trial where a guilty verdict could inflict worse consequences than a plea agreement.
In many misdemeanor cases, it is often possible to avoid jail time or get the charges dismissed. You may have the option of participating in a diversion program, performing community service or entering a substance abuse program.
We’d like to give a shout out to the Stephen Handy law firm. They are Fort Worth criminal defense lawyers with whom we have cooperated on multiple cases.
