Mark Pryor

Firm: Cofer & Connelly
602 W 11 Th St , Austin , Texas 78701
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I am approaching my one-year anniversary with the amazing firm of Cofer & Connelly, but I've been practicing law in Texas for twenty years – and managed to hang onto the English accent I was born with! Raised on a farm just outside London, my first career was as a journalist (covering mostly police and crime stories) for about a decade before turning to the law.. Reversing my mother's footsteps, I moved to America in 1995 and attended UNC-Chapel Hill, where I graduated with highest honors from their journalism school. From there, I traded light blue for dark and attended Duke University School of Law, graduating cum laude.. A few years working commercial litigation cases with a big firm in Dallas convinced me that I needed to return to my lifelong interest in all things criminal. I was hired by the Travis County District Attorney's Office in 2006 and in the intervening years I've handled just about every type of criminal case there is. That includes being lead prosecutor on a dozen murder cases (one of them a capital murder case) and trying dozens of felony cases before a jury. One of my specialties is juvenile criminal law, having handled thousands of cases as a prosecutor over a period of five years in that division of the office, from Class B misdemeanors to capital murder and everything in between.. Academic and legal achievements aside, if my name is familiar to you it's likely because I am the author of a series of mystery novels! The first of those, The Bookseller, was published in 2012 and made 's mystery list. Since then, I've published ten novels, and am very excited about a new series starting in August, published by Minotaur/St. Martin's.

Leslie Boykin

Firm: Law Office of Leslie J. Boykin
609 West 9th Street , Austin , Texas 78701
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I grew up in a small East Texas town, near the Big Thicket.  People were poor, and the economy was always tough.  Services such as mental health providers, counseling, and educational classes were few and far between.  I saw then, as a young girl, that people were never going to change their ways of living if they never knew HOW to change, or WHY they should.  My mother worked for 40 years in special education, and raised my sister and I with a healthy respect for people with disabilities, and a tremendous appreciation for the gifts we were given.  All of these circumstances, as well as my desire to help others who are lost in the maze of the criminal justice system, culminated in my ambition to be a criminal defense lawyer at the age of 11.. I followed my dream, through its many twists and turns, and stuck with it - even when the obstacles seemed insurmountable.  I know that I can inspire my clients to do the same, and the emotional reward for both of us is something that cannot be quantified.. I am also an avid live-music supporter, and country/swing dancer.  This often lends to healthy discussions with my musician friends, about how justice is administered in our society.  Fortunately, I can say that not many of them get into trouble, so it's mainly a hobby for me.
