San Antonio Felony Attorney

Felony Charges Could Mean Serious Penalties

Have you been accused of a felony crime in San Antonio? In felony cases, it is crucial that you get legal representation immediately, preferably before you even speak with the officers investigating the case. You have constitutional rights that only you can waive. Tell anyone wanting to speak with you that you would like the opportunity to contact your attorney before you say anything to anyone. If you are charged with a felony, you could potentially spend years in prison and/or years on community supervision (probation). The Texas criminal justice system has very severe penalties for felony crimes, and fast action must be taken to fight for you.

If you are facing any form of drug possession charges or have been accused of assault, it can be extremely serious to deal with these kinds of cases all by yourself. Judges are not kind to those who have committed felonies and will expect you to understand all of the Texas laws related to your case. Without the skilled representation of a San Antonio criminal defense lawyer, there is not a likely chance that you will walk away with the result you wanted. You will require the help of someone who has been there and can prepare you.

How a San Antonio Criminal Attorney Can Help

Sometimes misdemeanors like DWI/DUI cases can turn into a felony when innocent people are injured or even killed. Driving while intoxicated, especially if it is your third or greater offense, can be dealt with very seriously by the court system. The judge and jury in any trial case where there is violence inducing serious consequences will treat the offender without much lenience. I am also experienced in defending issues of family violence, whether it involves the use of weapons, sexual assault or even murder cases. You will need a qualified lawyer to prepare an exceptional case on your behalf with regards to any charges of violence.

Offenses that deal with another person's property may seem less severe since they are dealing with material possessions instead of people. This is not entirely the case, especially if theft or robbery harms anyone in the process. There are various types of burglary that have varying consequences. Invading a building or someone's home can have one set of penalties, while forgery of financial documents can mean entirely different consequences. Every case is situation specific and you need someone who understands the legal system.
