Good people in Texas every day find themselves in trouble with the law. They worry about their future. They agonize over the charges and what could happen to them and their family. They proclaim their innocence or they believe their case is defensible. Many have consulted with a lawyer or may have even hired a lawyer.

Their attorney should build up and develop the right defense theory for their case through physical and testimonial evidence, and then they should stand firm. Do not waver. Do not back down. Stand up to the government and make them try to prove their guilt in court. The attorney should not be intimidated. If the attorney relishes a good fight in court, the accused should not be intimidated either. Go to trial and make the government put up or shut up.

Thank you Mr. Sullivan for representing our son, your knowledge of juvenile law and understanding of teenagers is unquestionable.

Jim Sullivan helped our son and family through a very difficult time. On a Friday evening in February 2012, our son was handcuffed and taken from our home for detainment at the Juvenile facility (Fort Bend County) on a class 3 Felony charge of stalking. We were informed that we would not be able to see him until visiting hours Monday. Our lives had been turned upside down and our son’s support system (his family) had been ripped out from under him.
My husband, who is a lawyer, immediately began researching Houston area juvenile attorneys. Based on Jim’s profile and qualifications, my husband called him late Friday evening. Jim answered the phone and arranged to meet us at the Juvenile Detention Facility early Saturday afternoon.
Jim connected with our son immediately. It was apparent he cared about him as a whole person, not just the kid who suddenly found himself in trouble. He was more than just a lawyer to my son. He shared his own experiences and his positive attitude about life and relationships. Jim is not only a good lawyer but a good role model for our children.
The Felony charge did not stick and we are thankful for Jim’s help and counsel.
