Top best Criminal Lawyers in Hurst | 6 available

Update: As of November 2021, after many years of hard work and dedication as a prosecutor and as a criminal defense attorney, I am retiring from criminal defense practice.. As a former prosecutor and presently a criminal defense attorney, I have spent almost two decades in the courtroom and litigated thousands of Misdemeanor, Felony, and Juvenile criminal cases, including Murder, Child Sex Crimes, DWI, Assault, Robbery, Theft, Narcotics offenses, among others. Losing is simply not an option.  You need someone who will fight for you. Your concerns are my concerns. Your issues are my issues.  I'll guide you through tough times and fight for your rights and interests. I'm passionate about my cases and clients and will represent you with determination, professionalism, and class. My rates are always a fixed or flat fee. Hourly firms sell hours, not results.

I focus on vigorously defending people accused of misdemeanor and felony offenses.  I served as a Tarrant County Prosecutor prior to opening my own criminal defense practice in 2000.  I understand the stress and anxiety my clients are feeling and believe it is my purpose as a criminal attorney to work hard and diligently to protect my clients rights and future.. As a Christian and a Criminal Defense Attorney it is not uncommon for people to ask, "how are those compatible? Don't you just get people off?" I don't condone sin or bad behavior, but I'm also not free from it. There are several reasons I have such an incredible passion for my work. First, we live in a country that requires the government to prove you are guilty beyond all reasonable doubt before you are convicted of a crime. Until you are put in a position to defend your name and your future those words won’t have much meaning. But to me, and the people who trust me to protect them, it means that a good defense with the protections and rights of the Constitution is the only thing standing between government and the result the government wants. We don't live in a country where someone says you committed a crime, and now you have to prove your innocence. Life is hard enough without having a criminal record follow you around. I cannot promise a dismissal, but I can promise I will work as hard as possible to put you in a position to protect your future. Seeing a young person get a second chance after a mistake and capitalize on that second chance is well worth fighting for. Now, forty five years old, I have spent the majority of my life in the Metroplex. I grew up in North Richland Hills and graduated from Richland High School in 1986. I attended Abilene Christian University for two years and then transferred to Baylor University were I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1991. Growing up I attended North Richland Hills Baptist Church in North Richland Hills. Now my family and I attend Christ Chapel in Arlington. I am happily married and have two children. All three are incredible gifts from God. We spend our time as a family between our home in Arlington and a small ranch in Graham, Texas. We enjoy golfing, fishing, hunting and traveling.
