Recent Cases

The following are examples of results that I have obtained while defending clients in criminal cases.

  1. DISMISSAL- Sexual assault case, Tarrant County, TX. The State dismissed the case during trial, which attorney Mark Daniel and I tried. The defendant was charged with sexual assault of a child.

  2. DISMISSAL- U.S. District Court case, Northern District of Texas. The defendant was charged in federal court with the crime of attempting to bring a firearm on board an aircraft, after a firearm in the checked luggage discharged and shot a baggage handler at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The defense focused on the fact that the defendant did not know this firearm was in the luggage, evidenced by security screeners' failure to detect any firearm when he checked the luggage at the airport. The United States Attorney's Office dismissed the case prior to trial.

  3. DISMISSAL- U.S. District Court case, Northern District of Texas. Defendant was charged in federal court with immigration fraud, and defense counsel, attorney David Finn and I, negotiated a dismissal with Pre-Trial Diversion. The Pre-Trial Diversion Program in federal court is an unofficial type of probation, wherein the person has to report as if on probation for a period of time, yet there are no charges and no conviction.

  4. NO CHARGE FILED- Assault case, Parker County, TX. The defendant was held in custody for assault on a public servant. After I presented the medical/mental history of the defendant, the State did not pursue this charge.

  5. DISMISSAL- Child support case, Parker County, TX. Pursuant to a plea agreement on obtaining controlled substances by fraud, the State dismissed the defendant's criminal failure to provide child support.

  6. REDUCED TO MISDEMEANOR- Sexual assault case, Dallas County, TX. Defendant was indicted for sexual assault of a child. I negotiated a simple assault charge for the defendant with probation.

  7. DISMISSAL- Family law case, Parker County, TX. I negotiated a dismissal of the assault on a family member charge.

  8. DISMISSAL- Probation case, Tarrant County, TX. The State and the Court agreed to dismiss the defendant's motion to revoke probation, and re-instate the defendant's probation after seeing/reviewing the defendant's history.

  9. DISMISSAL- Criminal trespass case, Tarrant County, TX. I negotiated a dismissal of the case, which was a criminal trespass charge.

  10. DISMISSAL- Burglary case, Parker County, TX. Pursuant to an agreement that I negotiated, the State dismissed the charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and the defendant received probation on the burglary of a building charge.

  11. REDUCED CHARGE- Sexual assault case, Parker County, TX. Defendant was indicted for sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child. I negotiated a plea agreement for a reduced charge, which included no sex offender registration.

  12. REDUCED CHARGE- Theft case, Tarrant County, TX. I negotiated a dismissal of the penalty enhancement which increased the punishment to 2-10 years, and the defendant received the minimum of six (6) months on the theft charge.
