Criminal Defense
“What is your win-loss ratio?” This is a common question from prospective clients to criminal defense attorneys. Nobody asks this of a doctor. But then again doctors have it easy compared to lawyers. Doctors do not have to operate against another doctor who stands across the table actively trying to worsen the patient’s condition. Yet here you are, in the legal world’s equivalent of the emergency room with a knife sticking out of your chest, asking about win-loss ratios.

DUI/DWI
Several years ago, I represented a police officer who had been fired after a controversial fatal shooting followed by a DWI arrest (to which he pled guilty with a different lawyer). During the internal affairs investigation surrounding those issues, his former fiancée (also a police officer) accused him of two instances of Assault Family Violence in Williamson County. Frustrated with the system, he came to me for help. In two separate trials, each jury found my client NOT GUILTY. After the second trial, he smiled and told me, “We won.”
Traffic Violations
Travis County, Texas Description Client stopped for speeding. Officer smells alcohol, and client admits drinking. Officer says Client failed field sobriety tests, and Client is arrested. Officer gives Client a breath test, and the breath machine detects an “interferent” and will not provide a breath score. Officer has Client’s blood drawn. Client’s BAC is supposedly […]
Sex Crimes
Since that time, my trial experience has covered a vast array of offenses, including capital murder, securities fraud, money laundering, theft, firearm smuggling, conspiracy, sexual assault, obstruction of justice, aggravated assault, felon in possession of a firearm, retaliation against a federal agent, and numerous DWI, assault family violence, and drug cases.
Fraud
Theft
Misdemeanors
High-profile clients whose favorable plea agreements quietly avoided major headlines include a state-level leader of a nationwide criminal street gang—the primary defendant—in a Federal RICO (racketeering) prosecution; a top-level employee in the corporate office of a chain of regionally popular gas stations and convenience stores whose felony environmental crimes were negotiated down to misdemeanor deferred adjudication; and a local Chief of Police charged with official oppression, aggravated perjury, and misuse of official information.
Drug Crimes
I typically use fixed fees for cases in which the workload is relatively predictable. Most misdemeanors (like DWI, unlawfully carrying a weapon, and marijuana possession) and some common felonies (like possession of a controlled substance and felon in possession of a firearm) fall into this category. In such cases, I have a very good idea of the volume of police reports, witness statements, audio-visual evidence, and lab reports there will be to review, and how many police and lay witnesses I will need to investigate.
Assault
My client was charged with Aggravated Assault with a deadly weapon causing serious bodily injury to a family member, a first-degree felony with a punishment range of 5 years up to life in prison. Despite the fact that my client was about 60 years old and had no criminal history whatsoever, the District Attorney initially sought a 25-year prison sentence. In pretrial negotiations, the District Attorney lowered its offer to 15 years. We rejected this offer realizing that, at my client’s age, any double-digit sentence could effectively be a life sentence. We headed to trial.
Murder
More recently, I helped an Austin Police Officer avoid the Death Penalty for his role in a Capital Murder where a woman, pregnant with his child, was shot three times in the head and her body left near a dumpster.
Money Laundering
Kidnapping
Eight months after I was licensed to practice law, I earned front page headlines for my defense of a mother facing extradition for parental kidnapping charges, a case that resulted in Governor Rick Perry being sued in federal court before he would allow my client to be handed over to California authorities.
