At times, the criminal justice system seems like a big, confusing legal system picking on someone who doesn't understand how to fight back. If you think you can just speak with a prosecutor and everything will turn out alright — you may be in for a rude awakening. The fact is that if you have been charged with a DWI or other crime such as a drug offense, a sex crime or an assault arrest, you will find that prosecutors throughout East Texas are among the toughest in the state. You need a tough and aggressive criminal defense attorney who has the courtroom experience and the dedication to fight for you.

If you or a family member has been charged, the time to contact me is now. My office is located in Tyler, Texas, and I primarily serve residents of Smith County, Gregg County and the surrounding counties throughout East Texas. I offer reasonable fees, and payment plans may be available.

At my firm, you will always be thought of as a human being, not a criminal or a case file. I base my life on simple Christian principles. No matter what crime you are charged with or no matter how guilty you think you may be, it is not my place to judge you. Good people sometimes make bad mistakes. We are all imperfect and deserve each other's care and help. As we work together, I will always remember that, like me, you are a living, breathing human being who deserves to be treated fairly and with dignity.

The time and attention I dedicate to each case provide a tremendous advantage to my clients. At larger law firms, an attorney may be handling as many as a hundred or more cases at a time. I simply don't believe that it is possible to provide vigorous defense representation that way. By keeping my caseload to a personally manageable level, I give your case the time and personal attention it needs and deserves. I do criminal defense work because I love it and I do it well.

Don't wait for the prosecutor to build a strong case. Start getting aggressive representation right away. Contact me now for a free consultation about how I can help you protect your future.

It is always best to begin engaging your attorney as soon as you are arrested. The case needs to be developed defensively as soon as possible.
