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.

Paul Doyle is not afraid to take on the most challenging cases in the criminal arena. Whether the case is in federal or state court, Paul will defend his client with energy and passion. As you can see by reviewing the results page on this site, Paul is no stranger to success. Many of Paul's clients are successful professionals who have high expectations. Paul embraces expectations and appreciates the unique challenge that each case provides. Paul is known as somebody who will get to the point and will address key issues head on.. Paul's client list includes doctors, lawyers, engineers, professional baseball players, professional basketball players and professional football players. Many of Paul's clients prefer their cases to be handled in a private and efficient manner.. Paul was a prosecutor for 7 years and finished his career as a Major Offender/Special Crimes prosecutor. As a Special Crimes prosecutor, Paul worked directly with law enforcement as their cases were being investigated. Through this experience, Paul was privy to the most innovative techniques used by law enforcement to solve crimes. The knowledge gained by working directly with law enforcement gives Paul the ability to dissect investigations and determine how best to defend a charge. There are two sides to every story/case, the law enforcement version and the version of the person who is being accused. Prosecutors are typically only provided the law enforcement version and it is not until charges are filed that the government is able to receive the "whole" truth. As you can see on Paul's results page, there are many cases that should never have been filed.. Prior to Special Crimes/Major Offenders, Paul was assigned to felony and misdemeanor courts and was tasked with handling the cases that randomly fell into his court. Paul also tried cases as a prosecutor, was involved in the hiring of new prosecutors, and supervised a division of more than 45 prosecutors. This experience gives Paul the insight and ability to present his client's defense in the most favorable light. Many times, prosecutors don't choose the cases they have to prosecute, they are just assigned the case.. Most prosecutors are overworked and do not have the time to do the work that should have been completed by the law enforcement agency that handled the investigation. Paul knows what work needs to be done to shed light on the entire story. As you can see by Paul's results, he also knows how to present his client's story in a manner that is compelling to the individual prosecuting the case.. At a very young age, Paul knew he wanted to be a trial lawyer. Paul’s father was a trial lawyer who would regularly take Paul to the courthouse to meet judges and watch trial. Knowing this at an early age allowed Paul to insure he would have the educational foundation to be the best. He graduated from Rice University with numerous academic and athletic honors and then received his law degree from the University of Texas School of Law, one of the nation’s finest.. Once Paul is hired, the client is represented by Paul. Paul believes communication is essential in the successful resolution of a case. Paul makes it a point to be available and to answer any concerns a client has. While many lawyers have large case loads, Paul maintains a small volume of cases to insure his clients receive the individual treatment they deserve.

I have devoted my career to the practice of criminal law and I am honored to fight for my clients everyday.

While working as a prosecutor, I tried more cases than anyone in our office, and gained valuable insight into the law of search and seizure and the science of drug cases. After working as a prosecutor I was hired at one of Texas' premier criminal defense firms (), working closely with one of the top criminal defense lawyers in the State on thousands of cases, ranging from theft to murder. I have an established track record of obtaining outstanding results for my clients, including dismissals, grand jury "no bills", reduction of charges, and acquittals. I have first chaired over 50 criminal jury trials and am never afraid to go to trial to help my clients. To help my clients charged with DWI or drug offenses, I have also spent hundreds of hours studying the science of breath and blood testing, and have even become certified to administer Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs). There is no greater honor than to have someone entrust you with a criminal case and I always promise to do all I can to acheive the best result possible.. In 2018, I founded Ceja Law Firm where I will continue devoting my practice to fighting for citizens accused of crimes. I am happy to offer anyone accused of a crime a free consultation.
