Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 4

Allegations

A felony motion to revoke probation was filed after a new arrest and an alleged failure to report shortly after the client was placed on supervision. We obtained the probation file, docket notes, and booking records, built a clear timeline, and showed that supervision had not yet begun and the allegations were premature or unsupported. We engaged with the prosecutor and probation, addressed the administrative concerns, and pressed the evidentiary gaps. The State withdrew the motion and the case was dismissed, keeping the client out of custody.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Denton County, 211th Judicial District Court

Allegations

A domestic dispute at a residence escalated after a relative called 911, and the client was arrested on allegations of neck pressure and brief contact with a child. We dug into the discovery, including reports and videos, and documented that the complainant later expressed reluctance to prosecute. We also presented messages from a household member and information indicating the child was not injured, along with context showing mutual escalation. After sustained negotiations, the State agreed to reduce the charge with credit for time served.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

Police were called to a domestic dispute after a neighbor reported an argument, and the client was later arrested for assault after officers relied mainly on the complainant's initial account. We moved quickly to gather the ER records confirming our client suffered a fractured finger and documented her own injuries from the incident. We also preserved messages showing the complainant did not wish to pursue the case and flagged credibility problems with proceeding on a single, contested statement. After presenting this material and pressing the evidentiary weaknesses with the prosecutor, the state dismissed the charge.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Impeding Breath or Circulation (Felony)

Location

Travis County, 427th District Court

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute after a neighbor called 911, and our client was arrested for felony family violence by strangulation based largely on the initial account in the report. The complainant later made clear she did not wish to prosecute. We obtained the police paperwork, compared statements, and documented key inaccuracies, including who actually called 911 and how the physical contact was described. We delivered those credibility problems to the prosecutor and pushed for a full review. The case was sent to a grand jury, which returned a no bill, and the charge was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, None

Allegations

The client was stopped after leaving a small gathering, making a wide left turn while following a friend’s directions. Officers conducted field sobriety tests and arrested for DWI. The blood draw did not occur until hours later at a hospital after transport from jail, and the client did not recall consenting. We obtained the videos and records, highlighting the extended delay, unclear consent, and issues with how the draw was handled. We used those weaknesses to push the prosecution and negotiated a reduction to a lesser offense with deferred probation, avoiding a DWI conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

The arrest followed a minor crash as the client pulled out of a service station. Officers reported an open container and conducted roadside sobriety tests before making the arrest. We moved quickly to collect the probable cause affidavit, crash paperwork, and video, and we scrutinized the officer's instructions and the testing conditions. We also highlighted the absence of injuries and raised questions about the reliability of the roadside testing in those conditions. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client's record if completed.

Charge

Theft (Class C)

Location

Brazoria County, JP4-1

Allegations

Store security detained our client as they exited with low value merchandise, and an officer issued a Class C theft citation. The client had no prior history and the property was recovered. After reviewing the citation and incident details we engaged the prosecutor early, presented mitigation showing full recovery and a clean record, and made clear we were prepared to fight the charge. The state agreed to drop it, and the case was dismissed without any plea or probation.

Charge

False Statement to a Peace Officer

Location

Rockwall County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

The case began when our client reported a motorcycle stolen from a parking lot. Detectives later claimed his account conflicted with what they uncovered, and he was charged with making a false statement to a peace officer. We gathered the surveillance clip from the lot, phone and text logs, and his insurance records confirming he carried liability only and received no payout. We also documented that the bike was recovered and that another individual admitted taking it. After presenting the timeline and absence of any intent to deceive, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Resisting Arrest (Class A Misdemeanor)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police responded to a reported disturbance at a residence. The client returned to speak with officers, but as he stepped from his car multiple officers moved in, one with a weapon drawn, and attempted to force him to the ground. He hesitated and was accused of resisting. We obtained the bodycam and built a minute by minute timeline showing overlapping commands and a takedown initiated within seconds, leaving little opportunity to comply. After we presented these issues and pressed the state on proof, the case was dismissed.

Charge

DUI - Class C

Location

Collin County, Allen Municipal Court.

Allegations

After a late-night highway stop for suspected speeding, the client was cited for DUI after a roadside breath test read higher, while a later test at the station was substantially lower. No speeding citation was issued, and a vehicle search yielded nothing charged. We secured the videos and reports, challenged the basis for the stop and the reliability of the testing, and pressed those issues with the prosecutor. The case resolved with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client's record.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage to Vehicle Over $200

Location

Collin County, Allen Municipal Court

Allegations

After a minor crash, the client left before exchanging information and the vehicle was towed. When police started reaching out, we got involved at once, advised the client not to give a statement, and took over communication. We contacted the investigator, clarified how the car was recovered, and supplied proof of valid insurance. With no evidence of impairment and cooperation through counsel, we pushed for a noncriminal resolution. The case was reduced from a Class B to a Class C traffic citation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Collin County, CC7

Allegations

During a domestic dispute at a residence, our client tried to leave while the other party blocked a doorway. As the person gripped the frame and lost hold, they both fell. The client called 911, yet officers arrested him. We moved quickly to address bond conditions so he could return to his residence, then compiled written materials and communications from both sides that supported his account. After presenting this to the prosecutor and highlighting weaknesses in proof, the prosecution dismissed the case.
