DWI Defense
Our specialized DWI defense leverages the attorney's former role as Chief Prosecutor for DWI cases.

Our strategies address first-time offenses through complex repeat DWI charges in Denton County courts.
Drug Crimes
We defend against drug possession, distribution, and trafficking charges by challenging search and seizure procedures, evidence handling, and lab analysis. Our approach focuses on constitutional rights violations and forensic weaknesses to achieve charge reductions or dismissals while addressing potential rehabilitation considerations when appropriate.
Probation Violations
Our firm handles probation revocation hearings by challenging alleged violations and negotiating alternative sentencing options. We work to modify probation terms or secure continued probation status rather than incarceration, leveraging our understanding of both prosecution and defense perspectives.
