- DUI/DWIAlthough BWI and DWI charges are similar, a peace officer does not have to have reasonable suspicion or probable cause to stop a watercraft in Texas waters. A police officer may board a watercraft at any time for safety and security purposes and, if you have been drinking, you may be facing serious fines and/or penalties.
- Traffic ViolationsFor example, let’s say you suffered a physical injury due to an accident in which the front end of your car was hit. But, after looking at the street camera footage, the court finds that you were partially at fault because you didn’t fully stop at a red light before making a right turn: You slowed down and crept to a stop but didn’t completely come to a halt. As a result, when you were about to turn right, an oncoming car speeding 20 MPH above the legal limit wiped out the front of your car.
- Sex CrimesBeing convicted of a sex crime can carry severe, negative repercussions throughout your life. If you are found guilty, you will have to spend the rest of your life registering as a convicted sex offender in Fort Bend County, the entire state of Texas, and anywhere else that you may move. This public registry will be available for neighbors, friends, employees, and prospective landlords to see. On this site, your crime, name, height and weight, distinguishing marks, scars or tattoos, and home address will be made available. Failure to comply with mandatory registration may have you facing jail time and other steep penalties.

- BurglaryMontgomery County is a small town on the outskirts of Houston that proudly claims to be the birthplace of the Texas flag. The most frequently reported crimes in the area are theft crimes, burglary, and other property crimes. Although this quaint town does not see a fair share of violent crimes, it does not mean that everyone there is safe from a criminal activity. Criminal arrests can happen anywhere to anyone, and when you are arrested or under investigation for a criminal offense, you need to ensure that you retain the legal representation that you deserve.
- White Collar CrimesThe term "white collar crime" was coined in the early 20th century as a crime that was committed by someone who was of high stature, usually with the intent of financial gain. In today's society, white collar crimes cover a large number of financially-driven crimes that are meant to help the individual receive money or status to the detriment of the victim. Although these are considered non-violent crimes, they still carry heavy penalties, and you may be charged with a felony if you are arrested.

- MisdemeanorsMadelyn Toogood - Madelyn Toogood was getting into her car in a South Bend, Indiana parking lot when a surveillance camera filmed her apparently striking her child repeatedly. She was arrested and the incident received intense national attention due to constant exposure on the 24 hour a day cable networks. She hired our firm to defend her against felony charges. Had she lost, she very likely would have lost custody of her child.
