Harris County Felony Attorneys Fighting for Your Rights, Freedom and Future

Choosing a criminal defense lawyer to defend you may be the most important decision you will make in your case. Whether you have been charged with a crime or are under investigation by law enforcement, your rights, your freedom and your future are at risk. It is critical to have the counsel of an experienced criminal attorney as early as possible.

Because a conviction results in a criminal record and could also result in incarceration in prison, a felony charge must be taken seriously. Unless the charge is expunged or non-disclosed (sealed), a felony will show up on a background check. Once you are convicted, it will stay on your record forever.

Being convicted or accused of a felony can have devastating consequences. Hiring an experienced criminal attorney can make the difference between being found guilty or not guilty.
