Have You Been Charged With a Crime in Houston?

If you have been charged with a criminal offense in Houston, your freedom, your money, and your lifestyle is at great risk. If you have been accused of a sex crime, drug crime, theft crime, domestic violence crime, or other offense, such as DUI, you will need to face these charges. Even if you are truly innocent – and often times, the police department makes mistakes or intentionally “has it out” for certain “persons of interest” – you need to defend yourself in the most effective manner possible. But how can you possibly defend yourself? In reality, you do not have the skills or education or experience to defend yourself. This is actually the job of an expert – an experienced Houston criminal defense attorney who knows how to take control of your case and how to get the wheels of justice flowing for you instead of against you. What does this mean? As soon as your Houston criminal defense lawyer takes your case, he – and his team of experts – will  thoroughly examine every aspect and look for flaws. He will examine every relevant detail, from the supposed probable cause (or lack thereof) to the evidence against you. He will fight for you.

Avoid a Permanent Criminal Record

Of course if you were accused of a sex crime or drug crime or theft crime, or any other crime in Houston, you do not want to be found guilty and you do not want to have a permanent criminal record. Certainly you do not want to be labeled a sex offender and have to deal with that type of judgment and scrutiny for the rest of your life. Even the relatively “more common” and less socially judged offense of DWI has severe consequences. If you are arrested for a first offense DWI crime (driving while intoxicated), you could be facing jail time of up to 180 days, and a fine of up to $2000. Your driver’s license can be suspended from 90 to 365 days. If this is your second DWI, you could be facing up to one year in jail and fines up to $4000, and a driver’s license suspension from 180 days to 2 years.
