An arrest for any criminal charge can be a haunting experience, but having skilled and knowledgeable legal representation can help a person avoid the even more devastating consequences associated with a possible conviction. Townsend, Gebhardt & Eppes, PLLC is a boutique law firm in downtown Fort Worth defending clients accused of all kinds of crimes in the greater Tarrant County area. Our Fort Worth criminal defense attorneys have more than 30 years of combined legal experience on both sides of the aisle handling driving while intoxicated (DWI), drug offenses, and many other misdemeanor and felony charges. Andrea Townsend, Steven Gebhardt, and Brian Eppes are all former prosecutors who each have spent time working in various District Attorney’s Offices throughout the Lone Star State.

Townsend, Gebhardt & Eppes, PLLC understands the multitude of ways that criminal charges affect the lives not only of the alleged offenders, but also their family, friends, and co-workers. As members of local churches who have spouses and children of their own, all three of our attorneys appreciate the value of these relationships and fight to make sure they remain intact for our clients. During a possible criminal investigation or following any arrest, a criminal defense lawyer will know how to protect the rights of the alleged offender. Legal counsel can be especially critical not only in answering initial questions from police officers but in conducting thorough investigations and negotiating with prosecutors after charges have been filed.
