Criminal Defense Practice Areas
I practice all aspects of criminal defense law (except for traffic tickets). Typically, people contact me about:
- Current charges like a recent arrest or an investigation by law enforcement
- Post-arrest representation like an appeal or writ of habeas corpus
- Clearing Record Cases like expunction or nondisclosure
Current Charges
If you need a criminal lawyer for a pending case or if law enforcement is investigating you in Houston, Harris County or in the state of Texas, please Contact Me at (713) 487-7575.
I believe the best way to hire an attorney is to tell them the facts of your case and listen to their strategy. I invite you to contact me now to discuss your case and hear how I can help resolve it.

Post Arrest Representation
A jury has found you guilty, and you are unhappy with the verdict. Or, you pled guilty to a PSI and are unhappy with the judge’s sentence. Or two years ago, you accepted a plea deal that cannot be erased from your criminal history.
In Texas, there are three ways to challenge a sentence:
- The Direct Appeal
- An Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus
- A Pardon
Clearing Records Cases
The two ways to clear an adult criminal record in Texas are Expunction and Non-Disclosure.
Expunction basically applies to dismissed cases; not guilty verdicts; and completed deferred adjudications on Class C misdemeanors.
Non-Disclosure seals a completed deferred adjudication probation from the public.
I also handle juvenile sealing records cases. Juvenile sealing applies to crimes committed while the defendant was ten to sixteen years old.
