    Case Dismissed Aggravated Robbery

    Our client was indicted on the 1st Degree Felony charge of Aggravated Assault. He was out celebrating a birthday with friends when the party took a different turn and our client ended up being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    The Prosecution alleged that the crime took place over the agreement to meet and purchase a designer backpack. The victim claimed that he was attacked and in the chaos of the altercation he was shot in the leg.

    In the process of our investigation we requested all documents relating to the case, including the warrant for the arrest of our client. The warrant clearly stated that the officer that initially responded to the scene noted a large amount of narcotics in the residence of the alleged victim. During our detailed review of other documents and our own investigation into the events of that night it became clear that the State did not have reliable statements and witnesses to confirm their version of that night’s events.

    After a long negotiation and hard fought defense of our client we secured a dismissal on this case.

    Our client was charged with felony Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon for allegedly pulling a boxcutter out during an altercation with another man. Our client had no prior contact with law enforcement. We thoroughly investigated the other party, and found that he had a history of violence and assault.

We argued to the State that the other party had attacked our client first and that the charges against our client should be dismissed. Ultimately, the State agreed to dismiss the charges.

    Our client picked up a prostitute and was later pulled over for failing to signal. The police let the woman go, but found cocaine in the car on the passenger side and charged our client with possession of a controlled substance. The State offered our client 18 months of deferred probation, but we knew they did not have enough evidence to convict. We refused to back down and set this case for trial. The charge was ultimately dismissed due to lack of evidence.

  • Case Dismissed Theft

    Our client was allegedly caught shoplifting at an HEB. She had no prior arrest history, so we worked with her on proactively taking classes, which were used to her advantage during our negotiations.

  • Not Guilty Sexual Abuse

    One Count of Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Minor; Three Counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Minor; Two Counts of Indecency of a Minor by Contact/Exposure

    Not Guilty Sexual Abuse

    ONE COUNT OF CONTINUOUS SEXUAL ABUSE OF A MINOR; THREE COUNTS OF AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A MINOR; TWO COUNTS OF INDECENCY OF A MINOR BY CONTACT/EXPOSURE

    Our client was charged with 7 counts of sexual abuse of a minor. He was facing 25 years to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

    The CW was his biological daughter. She made an outcry that he has been sexually abusing her dozens of times for years.

    Our client proclaimed his innocence from the beginning and demanded his right to a jury trial. We believed in him and fought with everything we had to win. After 7 days of trial, we received a unanimous not guilty verdict from the jury on all counts, acquitting our client.

    During the trial, we exposed the lies of the complaining witness (CW) and her mom, the client's ex-wife. Our client had gone through a very bitter and contentious divorce from his ex-wife and this was one of the main reasons the CW falsely accused our client.

    Our client is a veteran with no criminal history.

    Cases like this, where our client is looking at having his life totally destroyed by the government based on false allegations of abuse, is why we do what we do. It was an honor to be part of giving our client his life back.

Upon investigation we learned that the complaining witness had started the fight by pushing and biting our client. She signed an affidavit of non-prosecution which we were able to use in our negotiations. Our client was first offered 18 months of deferred adjudication. We told the prosecutor no way would we ever take probation on a family violence case. We set the case for trial and received a dismissal.

Had multiple hearings on this matter and judge ruled that analyst was not allowed to testify due to a number of reliability issues. Jury deliberated for an hour, followed the law, and came back with a not guilty verdict. Client fought this case for over 700 days, came to court in-person and through zoom over 20 times. He did not give up and neither did we. We believed in his case from day one.

  • $2.5M Personal Injury

    Williamson County Live PD Raid: Our firm represented a family in a civil rights and personal injury case after Williamson County deputies staged a raid on their home for the reality show Live PD. The raid caused serious psychological and emotional injuries, leaving the family traumatized by an event that never should have happened.

    $2.5M Personal Injury

    Our firm represented a family in a civil rights and personal injury case after Williamson County deputies staged a raid on their home for the reality show Live PD. Although their son had already appeared in court earlier that same day, deputies hid the warrant from view and later stormed the house with armored vehicles, rifles, and flash-bangs. In the chaos, officers even pointed a gun at the father inside his own home.

    The raid caused serious psychological and emotional injuries, leaving the family traumatized by an event that never should have happened. After hard-fought litigation, Williamson County agreed to pay $2.5 million to resolve the case. This personal injury settlement demonstrates our commitment to holding powerful institutions accountable when their actions cause harm.

  • $810k Wrongful Death

    Our client experienced every parent’s worst nightmare when an intruder entered the family’s home and attacked their young child. Hearing the struggle in the bedroom, the parent rushed in to fight off the attacker, but the child had already suffered catastrophic injuries. Despite being rushed to the hospital, the child later passed away.

    $810k Wrongful Death

    Our client experienced every parent’s worst nightmare when an intruder entered the family’s home and attacked their young child. Hearing the struggle in the bedroom, the parent rushed in to fight off the attacker, but the child had already suffered catastrophic injuries. Despite being rushed to the hospital, the child later passed away.

    Other attorneys believed there was no path to recovery, convinced that the homeowner’s insurance carrier would never pay for such a claim. We refused to accept that answer. By pursuing a wrongful death case and pressing the insurer, we were able to secure the full policy limits of $800,000 for the family.

    This result underscores the importance of determined advocacy in wrongful death and personal injury cases. Even when others thought a settlement was impossible, we fought for justice and made sure the family received the compensation they deserved.
