About Claire Petty
Thank you for checking me out on AVVO! I would love to give you some background on myself. For the past 18 of 22 years I have dedicated my life to criminal law practice. I know how to defend a case because I've been the person who brought the cases; I know how the state thinks and I know where to push. Although I am experienced on both sides of the table, and on the bench, criminal defense work has been the most rewarding career I have ever had. I was appointed Presiding Judge for the City of McKinney from 2019-2024, and am a former prosecutor with experience trying all types of felony and misdemeanor cases including DWI, theft, assault, child crimes, fraud, murder, sexual assault, burglary, robbery, and organized crime. I was assigned Second Assistant District Attorney & Chief of Misdemeanor Trial Division. I trained numerous prosecutors, staff, and police on courtroom procedure and testimony. Prior to my time as Second Assistant, I was the Chief Felony Prosecutor for the Special Prosecution Division, responsible for prosecution of financially motivated criminal activity, organized crime, and public integrity matters. I was trained in cyber crime and computer forensics at the National Institute for Computer Forensics (NCFI), the Secret Services' training facility, in Hoover Alabama. Other assignments as an ADA included the Crimes Against Children Division, Felony Trial Team, and Drug Court. Prior to my time as an assistant district attorney, I was a civil litigator in downtown Dallas. In my free time I enjoy reading, cooking, and spending time with my family, including one fat marshmallow of a cat.
