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 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.
