Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 2

Allegations

A domestic dispute at a residence led to a family‑violence assault charge and a warrant. We intervened immediately, contacted the investigator, and coordinated a preset bond and walk‑through so the client avoided being taken to jail. We then dug into the facts, obtaining the complainant’s later statements and an affidavit of nonprosecution. We also compiled text and video evidence showing the client attempting to disengage and exposing inconsistencies in the original account. After presenting this to the prosecutor and pressing the issues, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Williamson County, CCL3

Allegations

While on deferred probation for a misdemeanor, the client was accused of a technical violation after missing reporting dates following a transfer. They had relied on text reminders that stopped and later found the messages were being sent to a spam folder. We coordinated a voluntary surrender and bond, then gathered the reporting printout, message logs, and proof of classes and payments. We showed probation and the prosecutor that this was a notification error and that the client was otherwise compliant while finishing community service. The state dismissed the motion to revoke.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

After a minor collision with a parked car, the client left the area and was later contacted by police away from the scene. He declined field sobriety and breath testing, and officers obtained a blood sample. We scrutinized the lack of driving observations and the delayed contact, then built a mitigation package showing treatment, AA attendance, and clean alcohol monitoring. Although diversion was initially denied due to the BAC, we appealed and secured entry. The client completed the program and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Interference with Public Duties

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The charge arose after our client went to a school to address ongoing bullying concerns and police were called. An officer moved to detain the client for a public-intoxication inquiry when the client stepped outside to retrieve a phone, and an interfering with public duties allegation followed. We pulled the body-camera footage, the school communications, and medical records explaining symptoms that could mimic impairment. We challenged whether the detention and any alleged interference were legally supported. After presenting that package and proof of community service, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of THC (State Jail Felony)

Location

Montgomery County, 435th DC

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding, officers said they smelled marijuana, and a search followed that turned up a vape cartridge the state alleged contained less than one gram of THC. Several units arrived and the search proceeded on the odor claim. We obtained the offense reports and videos, pressed for full lab documentation, and scrutinized the justification for the stop and search. The lab results did not substantiate that the seized item was an illegal controlled substance. We leveraged those evidentiary problems and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (State Jail Felony)

Location

Travis County, 331st District Court

Allegations

After a night out in a busy entertainment district, police made contact and, following a search, alleged our client had a small amount of a controlled substance. We demanded full discovery, reviewed body and dash cam video, the lab report, and the probable cause affidavit, and challenged the basis for the detention and search tied to suspected intoxication. In parallel, we assembled mitigation with clean testing, classes, and strong character support. Using that leverage, we secured a pretrial diversion. Upon completion, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Tarrant County, CCC9

Allegations

After the client's pickup became stuck near a curb, an officer stopped to check on the situation and then conducted roadside sobriety tests, leading to an arrest and a jail breath test reported over .15. We obtained the dash and body camera, dispatch notes, and breath instrument maintenance records, and examined how the field tests were administered and where they were performed. We made clear we were prepared to litigate any issues with the testing and procedures. With no prior history, early interlock compliance, and completed classes, we leveraged these factors and secured straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

After a single-vehicle crash, the client was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, and officers pursued a DWI. No field sobriety tests were done, and a blood sample was taken at the hospital under a warrant. We obtained bodycam, medical records, and the lab file, and scrutinized the warrant, chain of custody, and any medications given during treatment. We also addressed bond conditions since the client had no vehicle for an interlock. Using the trauma and evidentiary gaps as leverage, we negotiated probation and kept the client out of jail.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Bell County, 264th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was arrested for DWI with a child passenger after a roadside collision in which no one was hurt. We obtained the body and dash camera videos, breath test records, and the machine’s maintenance logs, and challenged the required observation period and how the field tests were instructed. While we fought the driver’s license case and gathered evidence, we guided the client through a CPS home visit and had them begin counseling and alcohol education. We presented that mitigation with our evidentiary concerns to the prosecutor. The result was negotiated probation with no jail time, with supervision arranged so the client could continue life out of state.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Kendall County, Kevin Kent is the prosecutor in Arizona451st Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation for evading arrest in a vehicle when a motion to revoke was filed after an out of state incident. He was first held out of state pending transport. After we were hired, we coordinated across jurisdictions to get him before the court and sought bond while we examined the alleged violations. We documented that the out of state incident resulted in no filed charges and pressed the state to produce reliable proof of any other noncompliance. Facing weak support for revocation, the prosecution dismissed the motion.

Charge

Domestic Assault - Offensive or Provocative Contact

Location

Rutherford County, Judge Lisa Eischeid

Allegations

The case began after a neighbor called 911 about a domestic dispute at a residence. Police alleged our client committed domestic assault after a beer can was thrown, but both parties reported there was no physical contact and no injury. The protected partner later moved to lift the no contact order and told the prosecution she did not wish to pursue the case. We obtained the police reports, contrasted the neighbor’s account with the partner’s denial, and underscored the lack of corroborating evidence. Faced with credibility problems and no proof of contact, the state dismissed the charge.

Charge

Harassment - Electronic Communication

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Our client was charged after a heated back and forth over alleged bullying spilled onto texts and social media. Police gathered selected screenshots and filed a harassment, electronic communication case. We pulled the full message threads and related school correspondence to place the exchange in context, documented that contact ceased, and presented mitigation to the prosecutor. After negotiations, the State agreed to dismiss upon verified community service. The client completed the hours, and the case was dismissed.
