Frequently Asked Questions

What type of lawyer must I hire to represent me in federal court?

If you are facing federal charges, you must hire a qualified lawyer to represent you in federal court. One crucial factor is that federal courts use different legal procedures when trying cases. Additionally, federal convictions may result in lengthy prison sentences. When deciding on an attorney, several factors should be considered, including how long they have been practicing law, their federal courtroom experience, their reputation in the community, and their history of obtaining favorable results. Finally, look for an attorney willing to answer your questions and communicate promptly.

Do all criminal cases have to go to trial?

A common misconception is that all Texas criminal cases must go to trial to be resolved. In many instances, criminal cases are settled through plea bargaining. A well-trained attorney will professionally analyze the case and work with the prosecution to try and have the charges dismissed or reduced. If the state is unwilling to negotiate, the case may still have to go to trial to be settled. However, even during the trial phase, the defendant and prosecution may still be able to negotiate a deal.

Why do I need to hire an attorney to help me file a personal injury claim?

If you have been harmed due to another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to file an injury claim. Personal injury law can be overly complex, and insurers often look for loopholes to deny claims. However, personal injury lawyers can investigate cases to find evidence that supports their client’s claims. For this reason, it is always best to hire an experienced Texas lawyer with experience handling injury claims. A lawyer will be your legal advocate with the insurance provider to ensure you are treated fairly.

Why shouldn’t I try to handle a DWI on my own?

Many DWI defendants make the critical mistake of trying to represent themselves in a DWI case. However, Texas has strict DWI laws that can negatively impact an individual’s life, even if it is a first offense. A Texas DWI lawyer can professionally evaluate the evidence and determine the strengths and weaknesses of the state’s case. In some instances, a defense attorney can challenge the validity of the field sobriety tests or blood alcohol concentration (BAC) results and have the charges dismissed or reduced.

What are Strong Defenses for a Criminal Case?

Strong defenses for a criminal case vary based on the charges and facts but may include proving lack of intent, self-defense, mistaken identity, or violation of constitutional rights (such as illegal search and seizure). Alibi defenses, showing the accused was elsewhere during the crime, can also be effective. Another defense is challenging the credibility of witnesses or the legality of the evidence. Each case is unique, and the best defense depends on a thorough review of the facts. If you’re facing criminal charges, consult with an experienced attorney from our law firm to explore your defense options and protect your rights.
