Laredo lawyer handling criminal matters involving felonies, DWI, and more
The state of Texas takes a tough stance against criminal conduct. Prosecutors aggressively pursue charges and a conviction can carry serious consequences. If you are convicted of an offense then your penalties will be based on the nature of the crime, your prior criminal record, as well as the presence of any “aggravating factors.” Common charges which one may find themselves defending against include:
- Misdemeanors
- Felonies
- Federal charges
- Violent crimes
- DWI
- Sex offenses
- White collar offenses
- Early Termination of Probation
If you face any of these situations then it is important that you recognize the gravity of the matter. Retaining an attorney is one of the first steps you can take to protect your rights.
Joey believes that everyone is entitled to as strong as possible representation. He will use your initial consultation to gain an understanding of how you were arrested and to help you understand what you should expect from the process. He will quickly notify the prosecution that he is defending you. Our office will then obtain any relevant police reports, witness statements, security footage, or other evidence. We will also conduct any necessary investigation. If Joey believes that your rights were violated then he will file all appropriate Motions with the Court. If a dismissal is not possible and a favorable resolution cannot be reached then we will take the necessary steps to ensure that you are prepared for trial. We will be in regular contact with you throughout the process and Joey will be available to answer your questions. We are ready to assist you. Call our Laredo office to speak with a lawyer.
