Harris County Criminal Defense Lawyer
Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer James Sullivan defends people struggling under the oppressive weight of governmental prosecution. Their burdens are heavy and really attached to them. Sullivan fights to free them from those burdens, indeed to free them from all governmental entanglements in criminal and juvenile court. Some people are charged with serious felony offenses, others with misdemeanor offenses. No matter the level of offense, each person is burdened by prosecution from the government and needs legal help.
People become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them. ~George Bernard Shaw, Irish playwright, 20th century
Sullivan approaches each legal problem with the mindset of obtaining the best possible result. Can the State prove their case at trial? Is their evidence persuasive? What is the risk versus the reward? Can the client afford to take the risk of a conviction when the State is agreeable to a deferred adjudication probation or possible 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.
