Firm: Terrel Law Group PLLC

I am Jason Johnson and I am a proud Texan and native Houstonian who is the owner of Jason Johnson Law Firm PLLC. I received my undergraduate degree in business administration at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University in 2005 and my Law degree at Howard University. I was licensed to practice by the State Bar of Texas in 2008. Mr. Johnson is also licensed to practice in the Federal Courts located in the Southern District of Texas.. I focus my law practice in the areas of criminal defense and personal injury law. In my criminal practice I have handled Matters at every punishment range except Capitol cases (a Capitol case is where the defendant faces being put to death by the state if convicted). This means I am experienced in dealing with clients that could get a fine (small matter) or could spent the rest of their natural life incarcerated in prison (very big matter). I have had many cases dismissed for my clients.. In my personal injury practice I mainly focus on representing people that have been injured in 18 wheeler and motor vehicle accidents. Over the past several years I has obtained successful results for numerous clients by way of settlements with insurance companies or by filing suit against the parties responsible for the accident.

Firm: Shellist Peebles McAlister LLP

I am committed to protecting your rights. I'm an experienced lawyer, former prosecutor, and former peace officer. I've handled cases from the lowest level trial courts to the United States Supreme Court. Even though my cases can be complex, however, my clients appreciate the way I can explain them in an easy to understand manner.. I’ve handled hundreds of criminal cases at the trial level as well as over 300 criminal cases on appeal or in other post-conviction areas (habeas writs, DNA actions, etc.). I’ve argued cases before the Texas Supreme Court’s criminal branch as both a prosecutor and a defense lawyer. I’ve also handled cases in federal appellate courts and, twice, in the United States Supreme Court. These are all criminal cases.. I helped lead a legislative review committee for criminal law bills and explained those bills to Texas legislators--many of whom had little criminal experience. I was also selected by the Texas Bar president to sit on the State Bar committee for the Rules of Evidence. I served in that capacity for years, helping to review and improve our Texas Rules of Evidence.. In 2018 I expanded my practice into the area of personal injury. Too many of my clients had been injured by reckless drivers or unsafe job conditions. Given that most civil attorneys have very little courtroom experience, I found that the transition helped my clients enormously.. Now I bring this knowledge and experience to people like you, relentlessly representing clients in all courts and on all types of criminal charges and personal injury cases.

Firm: Haggard Law Firm

I am a Warrior, an Advocate, a Knight in Shining Armour to my clients. I have the scars of battle to prove it, the humility gained through combat to never take the opposition for granted and to always be prepared. We who defend the Citizen Accused must never forget that we hold our client's lives and fortunes, their very future, in our hands. My Sword of Advocacy was honed from the time I began High School Interscholastic Debate Competitions in 1963 and continued through Law School Moot Court Competitions. For almost ten years I tried cases and trained young prosecutors. Now, I put that experience to work for my my years with the Harris County (Houston) District Attorney's Office in two administrations from 1975 to 1985, I coined the phrase "Trial by Ambush" where the worst cases (from the D.A.'s standpoint) roll downhill to suddenly confront the Number Three Prosecutor who "needs the experience". The Haggard Law Firm has fought against the government for the rights of Free Men and Women since 1991. I have learned through experience the meaning of the words of Plato: "Justice means minding one's own busniness and not meddling with other men's concerns."

Firm: Rick Oliver Attorney at Law

I am a native Houstonian, dedicated to defending the rights of the citizen accused. I have never worked for law enforcement, and I have never worked for the District Attorneys Office. The reason for that is simple: my passion flows only one way, and that is to defend those citizens accused of crimes.. I'm Board Certified in Criminal Defense, and there is no one more equipped to handle your trial, your appeal, or your post-conviction case. I understand people.  I understand the law. And I'm willing to fight either one, to protect you.

Firm: William Weston Rucker, III, PLLC

I am a native Houstonian but earned my undergraduate degree from Columbia University in New York City.  Texas and New York certainly have their differences. The experiences of living in both places has been a tremendous asset to me.  Likewise, I have been both a prosecutor and an attorney in private practice. Seeing litigation from different sides has helped me offer informed legal aid and direction for my clients.. During the 10 years that I served as a prosecutor and felony district court chief in the major offenders section, I handled a variety of criminal and civil cases, specializing in white-collar crime, civil litigation, DWI, and many others. As a prosecutor, I began to notice that many defendants weren’t receiving proper representation from their attorneys—and most suffered convictions, prolonged sentencing, and higher fines because of it.. It wasn’t long before I decided to launch my own law firm to offer defendants zealous but honest representation. I became board certified in criminal defense law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and established my own law firm in order to provide my clients with legal aid to guide them through the rigors of defense law litigation. To that end, I’ve successfully represented countless clients facing charges ranging from DWI’s to murder—all backed by my experience arguing on both sides of the courtroom.

Firm: BRYAN OWENS

I am a Harvard educated criminal defense lawyer with over a decade of experience representing individuals charged with crimes. I am passionate about criminal defense. It is my privilege to represent clients and to force the government to act with strict compliance with the Constitution and the rules of criminal procedure. I will go to any length to protect my clients' rights. I fear no man, and absolutely love fighting it out in a courtroom.. Oftentimes, I discover law enforcement errors in how they handled an arrest or investigation. I discover many of these errors in the area of search and seizure. When properly litigated, Motions to Suppess can lead to cases being dismissed. I have years of experience handing search and seizure issues, and I can use my knowledge to your benefit.. Forcing the prosecution to turn over all of the evidence is another tactic which I maximize for my clients' benefit. I pride myself on knowing my clients' cases inside and out. Cases are won and lost in the details. I can devise unique strategies for defending my clientss cases because I am intimately familiar with all of the facts of the case.. I strive to remain supremely prepared for each stage of my clients' cases. I achieve this by staying in constant contact with my clients, thoroughly familiarizing myself with the facts of each case, researching the law to develope strategies, and by filing motions. If and when the case goes to trial, that is my strength. I love jury trials, and have had many successes in the courtroom, including a not-guilty in a murder trial.. Please call me and we will discuss your case, for free. I can provide insights and share with you my impressions on how best to fight your case. I look forward to your call.

I am a cantankerous, determined, persistent, knowledgable and skilled attorney in my areas of practice.  I do not have a reverse gear.  I only know to go forward, to work hard, to thoroughly investigate, to use my superior knowledge of the law and the regulatory environment to client's advantage.  I am aggressive, but businesslike.  I am very much at home in the courtroom.  I do not go to court looking schmooze and trade pictures of pets.  I go there to take care of legal business, and to prevail over the state and all its minions and resources.  I fully expect to do so.  Those expectations are founded in fact and experience.  I was the point of the spear in traffic for decades.. I do not claim to be a generalist, or to be functional at all outside my realm: traffic, criminal law, and administrative law as it pertains to getting and keeping your license, and in clearing up your criminal record as much as the law allows.  Call me.
