Top Criminal Defense Lawyers in ZIP 79901 | 5 available

I am board certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Speciliazation. . That means I'm one of very few attorneys who can say "I specialize in criminal law." My practice is primarily state and federal criminal law and appeals.. I grew up in the small southern Arizona border city of Douglas, Arizona. I joined the U.S. Army and served in as a U.S. Army Ranger in the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment at Fort Lewis, Washington and then with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) at Fort Campbell Kentucky.. After the military, I went to law school and started out doing plaintiff's legal malpractice, suing other attorneys/ lawyers who had committed some form of fraud or breached a fiduciary duty to their clients. While with that firm, I second chaired two million dollar plus cases, one of which took over 5 weeks to try.. I subsequently moved to El Paso, Texas where I was an Assistant District Attorney and served in the office's "Family Violence Unit," where I tried over 20 domestic violence or Assault Causes Bodily Injury (AFV) trials to a jury.. As of June 1, 2010, I opened the Benjamin Law Firm and handle state and federal criminal, civil and appeal cases, and I am going to use my experience to benefit you, my next client.

Former federal government attorney, Army Judge Advocate, prosecutor, and defense attorney, representing Servicemembers and civilians in the areas of criminal defense.  Criminal law has an enormous impact on a client's future and requires dedicated and learned counsel.  At The Matthew James, PLLC, we provide our clients with the attention they deserve working to exceed their expectations.

"I had decades of experience before I became a lawyer. So I look at problems from a real life perspective of each party's needs and what they are trying to achieve.". I chose to be a lawyer because I get to use everything I knows from all his successes (and all my mistakes) to find solutions to benefit his clients - on paper, in a negotiation, or in a courtroom.And I loves every minute of it.. In 2016 at the International Negotiation Competition of the American Bar Association in Oslo, Norway, I was a member of the two person U.S. team that outperformed 31 teams from 25 countries around the world, in a competition that played out over five days, featuring simulated complex, international dispute scenarios. Judged by a panel of experts from around the world, USA Team 1 was awarded the Championship at the Nobel Peace Center.
