Defending Murder Suspects in Texas
If you are facing murder or homicide charges, you know it doesn't get any more serious than this. Texas likes to maintain its "tough on crime" image by aggressively prosecuting people accused of crimes — especially violent crimes like assault, manslaughter, and capital murder. Texas leads the country in executions and has a large number of inmates on death row.
If you are a suspect in an open murder investigation or a loved one is facing murder charges in Texas, you know how high the stakes are. Don't wait another minute to protect yourself or your family member. Contact our firm for a free consultation to discuss your situation and for advice on how to protect your Constitutional rights.

The fact that someone has been killed does not necessarily mean that a crime has occurred. Our skilled defense lawyers know the possible defenses to murder and homicide charges, such as self-defense, defense of others, lack of intent, accident, and others. We have the experience and skills needed to aggressively defend you against all types of murder charges:
Capital murder, including murder of a police officer, murder committed during another serious crime (such as sexual assault or burglary), murder for hire, multiple murders, and murder of a child under 6
- Murder in the first or second degree
- Manslaughter
- Criminally negligent homicide
- Vehicular homicide
If you hire our firm to defend you, we will investigate the facts of your case and seek to obtain evidence in your favor. We will protect your rights throughout all stages of your case — from initial arrest to trial and appeal. If evidence was obtained by law enforcement through illegal search and seizure or in violation of your rights, we will move to have it thrown out.
If a murder charge cannot be resolved through negotiation or a plea agreement, he will defend his client at trial. We will hold the prosecution to its burden of proving all elements of murder charges beyond a reasonable doubt.
