Don't think you can walk into a courtroom & defend yourself in a criminal case. This is a VERY DANGEROUS decision to make. Even though you may be familiar with the events leading up to your arrest, you are likely clueless about criminal law and Bexar County courtroom procedure. As a San Antonio criminal defense attorney, I have the legal expertise necessary to defend you in court. Successful criminal defense demands adherence to extremely strict regulations, including rules for filing notices, meeting deadlines, following technical and procedural rules, requesting information and more. Because San Antonio criminal defense lawyers work within these restrictions every day, they're familiar with all the demands of a criminal case. After being accused of a felony, most people focus on only one thing: avoiding jail time.

Often, it takes a special San Antonio criminal defense lawyer to take jail off the table, whether it be through a settlement or through litigation.

Even if you or your loved one has already confessed to one of these crimes, the process of plea bargaining shouldn't be left to just any attorney. My years of private practice experience and decades of Texas Criminal Trial experience is evident every time I step into a courtroom. The people in the Texas legal system know and respect me and when I speak, they listen. Many people take advantage of my free criminal consultation and complain about other San Antonio defense lawyers demanding thousands of dollars before even looking at their case, and then not even returning their calls. I don't work that way: I insists on getting to know all about each client personally and always keeping in close communication, to provide both for legal advice and moral support. I can do this because I only takes the cases I truly believes in. Sometimes it is a case where the client is innocent and the true criminal is the accuser.

Sometimes it is a case in which a good person simply made a one-time mistake. Always, I work aggressively to keep my clients out of jail. The most serious criminal allegations require the most serious and dedicated criminal defense. Even being targeted in a murder investigation can forever alter a person's life and prospects for the future. As a San Antonio criminal lawyer, with 35 years as a successful trial lawyer, I can offer immediate and effective legal advice to clients statewide and in Bexar County under investigation or charged with a crime.
