Felony Charges We Defend
The classification and alleged facts of a charge can affect the court process, potential punishment, and available defenses. We defend clients against several major categories of criminal allegations.
Our criminal defense practice includes:
- Violent crimes and domestic violence allegations
- Drug crimes, including possession or distribution allegations
- Sex crimes and related accusations
- Theft crimes and other property-related allegations
- White collar crimes involving alleged financial or business conduct
- Juvenile crimes involving serious allegations
- DWI charges prosecuted as felonies
Prior convictions, alleged weapon use, injury allegations, and other circumstances may influence how the government charges a case under Texas law. We examine the charging documents and evidence instead of treating the name of the offense as the complete story.
How We Prepare Your Defense
Our work begins with the details of the investigation or arrest. We review the available evidence, explain your constitutional rights and legal options in clear language, and identify factual or legal issues that need closer attention.
Stages of a Felony Case
A case may proceed through arrest and booking, charging, grand jury review, indictment, arraignment, discovery, pretrial motions, negotiations, and trial. In Texas, an indictment is a formal accusation typically approved by a grand jury. The steps involved depend on the procedural posture and decisions made by prosecutors and the court.
Issues Our Review May Address
We use checklists to track important details, continue our attorneys’ legal education, and work efficiently as deadlines and court settings approach. This process helps us examine both the evidence and the circumstances surrounding the allegations.
Our review may address issues such as:
- Whether a search or seizure complied with constitutional requirements
- Whether questioning respected the accused person’s rights
- Whether witness identifications or statements are reliable
- Whether physical, digital, or documentary evidence supports the allegations
- Whether factual disputes undermine an element the prosecution must prove
How Houston & Harris County Felony Cases Are Classified
Harris County criminal district courts hear felony cases. Texas law generally recognizes five classifications: capital felony, first-degree felony, second-degree felony, third-degree felony, and state jail felony.
The classification and possible penalties depend on the charging instrument, alleged conduct, criminal history, enhancement allegations, and applicable law. As Houston felony lawyers, we determine what those details mean for each client and explain the available options without making assumptions based on the charge alone.
