Marble Falls Criminal Defense Lawyer

Attorney for DWI, Drug Crimes, and Sex Crimes in Marble Falls, Texas

Criminal charges should always be taken seriously. Whether an alleged offense is a minor misdemeanor or a felony, a conviction can result in multiple types of consequences, including fines and jail time. Even a seemingly minor sentence, such as probation or court supervision, can leave a person with a permanent criminal record. This may have unexpected effects on a person's life, such as making it more difficult to find a job or a place to live. During a criminal case, a defendant will need to work with an attorney to determine the best ways to protect their rights and avoid a conviction or minimize the potential consequences they may face.

Legal Representation in Multiple Types of Criminal Cases

We can provide you with representation from the moment you are arrested, ensuring that your rights will be protected in any interactions with police officers or other law enforcement officials. We will make sure you do not inadvertently provide incriminating evidence when answering questions or turning over information. We will help you understand your options while negotiating with prosecutors, including advising you on whether you can reach a plea agreement to have your charges reduced or dismissed. We will advocate on your behalf during court hearings or in a criminal trial, working to help you achieve the best possible results in your case.

We assist with a wide variety of criminal matters, including:

• Driving while intoxicated (DWI) - A police officer may pull a driver over based on the suspicion that they were under the influence of alcohol or drugs. A person may be arrested if a portable breathalyzer test or field sobriety tests gave an officer probable cause to believe that they were intoxicated. A DWI conviction will usually result in significant fines, and a person may also be sentenced to time in prison. A person's driver's license will also be suspended for at least one year.
• Drug charges - Offenses involving controlled substances can vary in severity, and the potential consequences will be based on the types of drugs involved and the amount of a substance found in a person's possession. A person may face drug possession charges if illegal substances are found on their person or in their home or vehicle. For larger amounts of drugs, a person may face charges of possession with intent to distribute, which can result in even more serious penalties.
• Sex crimes - Accusations that a person has committed a sexual offense can not only lead to serious criminal charges, but they can also damage their reputation and affect their personal relationships. A conviction can lead to large fines and a lengthy prison sentence, and a person may also be required to register as a sex offender.
• Family violence - Claims that a person has committed domestic assault or domestic abuse against a family member or a person in their household can result in serious criminal charges. Depending on the severity of the alleged offense, a person may be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony, and these accusations can also affect a parent's child custody rights, while also damaging their personal relationships and their reputation.
