Leveraging Texas
Law To Defend Your Future

As a San Antonio criminal defense lawyer, I understand the devastating impact that an arrest can have on your life. My mission is to mitigate the damage, protect your reputation and help restore your life’s trajectory. Under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 38.03, you are presumed innocent until each offense element is proved beyond a reasonable doubt – a right I vigorously defend when up against hasty judgment.

I challenge prosecutors, forcing them to meet their burden of proof, and fight to exclude improperly obtained evidence under Chapter 18’s search and seizure protections. Additionally, I utilize the Michael Morton Act (Article 39.14), which requires prosecutors to disclose all evidence, including exculpatory information. This transparency helps prevent wrongful convictions.

My thorough knowledge of Texas legal protections will form the foundation for a defense strategy tailored to your unique circumstances, designed to protect your freedom and future.
