Harris County Criminal Defense

Houston criminal defense trial attorney James Sullivan fights to solve legal problems for his clients in criminal court. Each client has a story to tell and a legal problem to solve. To represent that person well, Sullivan invests the time to really get to know the person and his or her full story. To delve into one’s full story can take several hours, but is necessary for a good defense.

Some clients are charged with serious felony offenses, others with misdemeanor offenses. No matter the level of offense, each client faces prosecution from the government and needs legal help. Sullivan approaches each legal problem with the mindset of obtaining the best possible result–

  • Can the State prove their case at trial?
  • Is the State’s evidence persuasive?
  • What is the risk versus the reward?
  • Can the client afford to take the risk of a conviction?
  • Is the State agreeable to a deferred adjudication probation or pretrial diversion?

Depending on the case, the client and the evidence, the best possible result may vary from a not guilty verdict at trial, a dismissal by the State, a pretrial diversion contract, a deferred adjudication probation or some other resolution.
