The #1 mistake that people accused of a crime make is pleading guilty when they can beat the case.

I get the same call every week: “I was innocent but my lawyer said to take deferred adjudication and the case would not show up on my record after six months. Now, I cannot get a job.”

Or: “I could have beat the case but my lawyer didn’t do any work and told me to take credit for time served.”

Finishing a deferred adjudication does not automatically seal your record. In some instances, a deferred adjudication can never be sealed. Taking credit for time served results in a conviction that can never be removed from your record.

If you have a winnable case, find a lawyer who will convince the prosecutor to dismiss the charges or who will convince a jury to find you not guilty.
