Charge

Injury to a Child, Elderly Individual, or Disabled Individual

Location

Guadalupe County, None

Allegations

Following a domestic dispute at a residence, our client called police for help and was arrested for injury to an elderly or disabled individual. We obtained photos showing no notable injury and documented that the incident arose from a medical episode with brief mutual contact. We emphasized the client’s lack of criminal history and that he was the one who sought assistance. We presented these facts and evidentiary weaknesses to the prosecutor. The state declined to pursue the case and dismissed it.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Guadalupe County, None

Allegations

Police were called to a domestic dispute after our client phoned for help to calm an argument at home. The incident involved mutual slaps, and photos documented no visible injury. We compiled a mitigation packet detailing the spouse's cognitive health issues, the client's cooperative call for assistance, and the lack of injuries or prior history. The spouse later made clear they did not wish to proceed, which we relayed to the prosecutor. After sustained discussions and review of our materials, the state declined to pursue the case. The charge was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

The client was stopped after an alleged stop sign violation and arrested for DWI. They performed roadside tests, refused breath and blood, and officers later obtained a blood draw by warrant. We pulled the dash and body cam video and the report, then broke down the field tests step by step, flagging errors in how the HGN was administered and contradictions with the written narrative. We delivered that analysis to the prosecution and kept the pressure on. Faced with compromised key evidence, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

Police found our client asleep behind the wheel on a roadway, woke them, moved the car to a lot, and arrested after the client declined field sobriety tests. A blood draw was taken by warrant and later alleged a high alcohol level. We pulled the dash and body-cam video, scrutinized the warrant affidavit, the statutory warnings, and the handling of the sample. We pressed the gaps in proof of impairment at the scene and the paperwork issues with consent. The pressure led to a reduction to a lesser charge.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Kendall County, 451st District Court

Allegations

The client was on deferred probation for a felony drug case when supervision alleged a positive test and missed community service. Probation pushed for 180 days in a sanction facility. We moved fast, filing a motion to review and modify conditions and assembling mitigation that included treatment evaluations, program options, and family support. We negotiated a treatment focused alternative, detailing an outpatient plan and clear compliance steps. The court accepted the plan, the client avoided the facility, and the case was resolved with deferred probation intact.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Comal County, JP4

Allegations

During a traffic stop for tinted windows, our client was a passenger when the driver consented to a vehicle search. Officers located a small amount of marijuana and charged the passenger, who had no prior record, after an on-scene admission. We dug into the basis for the stop, the scope of the consent as it applied to a passenger, and how the statement was obtained. We outlined the suppression issues and the weak nexus tying possession to our client beyond the admission. After sustained pressure in negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case.
