Our Fort Worth criminal lawyers handle the following types of criminal cases:
-
Bench Warrants – A bench warrant is issued by a judge—rather than a standard arrest warrant issued by the police—generally for conduct that occurs in a courtroom or civil matters, including failure to appear. Failure to address a bench warrant can lead to arrest and harsh criminal penalties.
-
Domestic Violence – Domestic violence occurs when a person commits a violent or sex crime against someone who shares an intimate relationship with him/her (e.g., current or former spouse, current or former dating partner, individuals who share children together, family members, etc.).
-
Drug Crimes – Texas takes drug crimes very seriously since a conviction can result in a lengthy prison sentence and fines worth thousands of dollars. Common types of drug crimes our firm handles include drug possession, drug trafficking, drug sale and distribution, drug manufacturing, and prescription drug fraud.
-
DWI – You can get arrested for a DWI in Texas with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of at least .08 percent, or .04 percent for commercial drivers or any amount of alcohol for underage drivers. A conviction can result in jail time, fines, and driver’s license suspension.
-
Expunctions – If you have been arrested and your case eventually gets dismissed or received deferred adjudication, unfortunately, you still have a criminal record that can impact your personal life and professional reputation. However, you may be eligible to have your criminal record expunged.
-
Federal Crimes – These types of offenses are a violation of federal law or occur on federal property. A federal conviction is much harsher than getting convicted of a local or state criminal offense.
-
Felonies – Felony offenses are more serious than misdemeanors. A felony conviction carries state prison or state jail sentence. Common examples of felonies include murder, sexual assault, kidnapping, and deadly conduct.
-
Fraud – Fraud is one of the most common white collar crimes in Texas. Common types of fraud include healthcare fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, tax fraud, insurance fraud, internet fraud, credit card fraud, and identity theft.
-
Juvenile Crimes – We also handle juvenile criminal representation so that you can rest more easily knowing that your minor children's charges are in trustworthy hands.
-
Misdemeanors – Although misdemeanors are less serious compared to felony offenses, a conviction can still result in a jail sentence and costly fines.
-
Nondisclosures – If you are not eligible for expunction, you may still be able to get your criminal conviction sealed through the nondisclosure process, so long as you obtain deferred adjudication.
-
Probation violations – If you violate the terms of your probation, either your probation period will be extended, or you will be forced to spend the remainder of your sentence behind bars.
-
Theft – Theft involves intentionally stealing property from someone else without permission. Common examples of theft include shoplifting, vehicle theft, and burglary.
-
Warrants – An arrest warrant allows police officers to immediately arrest an individual. If you have an outstanding arrest warrant, let our legal team help you take the best course of action.
We can investigate your arrest, collect and assess evidence, negotiate with the prosecution, and help you either get your entire case dismissed or your charges/penalties reduced.
