Why Early Intervention Matters
Like top Houston firms, our approach begins the moment you interact with police or prosecutors:
- Initial Investigation – We evaluate the legitimacy of law enforcement actions, including search warrants, traffic stops, and questionings.
- Evidence Review – Utilizing private investigators and police body cameras, we seek suppression of illegally obtained evidence.
- Negotiation & Diversion – We explore alternatives such as pre-trial diversion or lesser plea arrangements.
- Trial Preparedness – From jury selection to cross-examination of expert witnesses, we prepare to fight if no resolution is reached.
Contact us early to prevent charges or minimize fallout.
