Taking Your Side on Violence Accusations

If you've been accused of a violent crime, you likely face a good deal of uncertainty about what will happen to you. Some violent crime charges carry very long prison sentences, and all of them carry social stigmas that can affect future job prospects.

Dunbar, and I have 33 years experience helping Dallas-Fort Worth area clients fight violent crime charges. Contact me today.

The Right Attitude Toward a Serious Situation

Over the course of my more than three decades as a Texas criminal defense attorney, I have had extensive experience with:

I understand how to approach these serious cases and reduce serious penalties. You can count on me to provide the strong and aggressive defense you need.

If you have been arrested or are being investigated for a violent crime, do not talk to the police without consulting an attorney. Your criminal defense can be compromised by anything you say to the police.

I Will Be Your Advocate

Some criminal defense attorneys do not regularly handle violent criminal cases. Some lawyers do not want to work with a person who has been accused of a violent crime. I believe that everyone has a right to a properly prepared and argued criminal defense and I am here as your advocate.

Understanding Family Violence Charges

If you are accused of acting violently toward a member of your family or household, you may be charged with assault and family violence, a domestic violence charge with unique penalties. Unlike the issuance of a protective order, an assault charge is a criminal charge.

I have experience defending clients against assault and family violence charges and will make sure your side of the story is fairly told.
