Fort Worth Criminal Defense Attorney

When people are arrested for any alleged crime in Texas, it is important for them to immediately take the necessary steps to protect their future . If a criminal charge has the potential to result in possible jail or prison time, alleged offenders should never assume that prosecutors will “go easy” on them because of their lack of a criminal record or the alleged offense not seeming as serious as other crimes. At the same time, a person should never assume that an arrest is the same as a conviction.

Whatever the specific criminal charge may be, an alleged offender is always presumed innocent unless proven guilty. Important defenses can be raised before trial, including a motion to dismiss the charges, a motion to suppress physical evidence, or a motion to exclude unduly prejudicial evidence. A prosecutor must prove an accused person’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If the defense can raise a reasonable doubt at trial, then the jury is instructed to return a “not guilty” verdict. An experienced attorney can give a person the best chance of achieving the most favorable outcome to a criminal case.
