Criminal Defense Case Results in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #1

Allegations

The client was stopped after drifting in his lane on the way home late at night. Officers noted empty beer cans from a passenger and began a DWI investigation. The client declined roadside tests, explaining longstanding knee and ankle injuries, and refused a breath test. A blood warrant was executed several hours after the stop, and the first kit was unusable, causing further delay. We obtained the videos and lab records, challenged the timing and integrity of the draw, and used that leverage to negotiate deferred probation.

Charge

Child Endangerment

Location

Denton County, 16th Judicial District Court

Allegations

A domestic dispute during a child exchange led to an arrest for child endangerment. Police responded to a disturbance, and the other parent alleged unsafe conduct and said a cell phone video existed. The state never produced that video. We secured the CPS file showing the investigation was closed without adverse findings, and we documented the complainant’s unwillingness to cooperate. After pressing the DA on the lack of corroboration and setting the case for trial, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Dallas Municipal Court

Allegations

Police issued our client a citation after a domestic argument, and a Class C assault by threat case was filed. The client later moved out of state and missed court, which turned the citation into an alias capias warrant. We entered the case, filed our appearance, and worked with the court to recall the warrant so the client would not have to travel. We obtained the file and highlighted the age of the allegation and the prosecution’s witness availability issues. After sustained negotiations, the prosecutor agreed to dismiss the charge.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Denton County, 211th Judicial District Court

Allegations

After a domestic argument that began during intimate contact and continued during a drive, the complainant accused our client of choking. He consistently denied impeding breath and reported that both parties pushed each other, leaving him with a bloody nose. Officers arrested him later without taking his statement, and a protective order limited contact. We gathered his account, documented the mutual struggle, and pressed the state on what it could actually prove. Through targeted negotiations, we secured deferred probation, keeping a conviction off his record.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #2

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute that began at a residence and continued during a car ride. Our client said he was struck and acknowledged pushing the other person's head in response, denying any intent to cause injury. He was arrested later, and officers never took his statement. We dissected the reports and emphasized the mutual nature of the encounter and the lack of proof that he intentionally caused bodily injury. After sustained discussions with the prosecution, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Dallas Municipal Court

Allegations

The client received a Class C assault by threat citation after a domestic dispute at a residence. Over time, the case sat in city court and became alias warrants after missed settings, and the client had moved out of state. We stepped in, entered our appearance, and worked with the court to resolve the warrants so we could address the charge on the merits. We pressed the prosecution on the age of the allegations and the limited evidence beyond the initial statement. The state dismissed the case.
