Harris County Criminal Defense Attorney
If you have been charged with physically threatening or injuring another person, you want an experienced lawyer to defend you — one who fully understands the language and the rules in criminal proceedings. The consequences of a conviction can be severe and can stay with you for a long time. In addition to fines, penalties and even jail time, you could face restrictions on your employment or even the ownership of weapons.
At my Houston law office, I have dedicated my legal career to criminal law. Before opening up my own criminal defense practice, I served as a prosecutor in both Walker County and Harris County in Texas. I understand how the state prepares its cases and can anticipate the strategies prosecutors will employ. Regardless of the approach I take, I will always give you 200 percent of my efforts. I will employ my skill and experience to get the best result possible in your criminal case.

Houston Assault Charge Defense Attorney
I handle all matters related to the defense of charges involving threats or acts of violence, including aggravated assault as well as domestic violence. When you have been charged with assault, I will conduct an exhaustive investigation of the facts and circumstances of your case. My objectives will include:
- Determining whether police or law enforcement officers violated your constitutional rights. I will verify that there was probable cause for any search, seizure or arrest and that evidence was not improperly obtained.
- Identifying and preserving evidence to support any defenses you may have. I will look for evidence to support any defenses, such as self-defense or the defense of others.
- Establishing and building evidence to bring into question the credibility of any witnesses against you. Assault cases often turn on the credibility of the victim or other witnesses. I will look for evidence to show that your statements are more reliable than the testimony of others.
