Comanche County Criminal Defense Attorney

Our Comanche County criminal defense attorneys represent clients facing criminal allegations, from minor infractions to serious felony prosecutions—requiring sophisticated defense strategies. Criminal cases we handle: 

• Driving while intoxicated offenses.
• Drug possession and distribution charges.
• Assault and violence charges.
• Shoplifting and theft crimes.
• Criminal mischief.
• Burglary and criminal trespass.
• Weapon possession violations.
• White collar crimes and fraud.
• Juvenile delinquency matters.

Every case involves unique facts and legal challenges that require a tailored defense strategy. We carefully examine all aspects of your situation to uncover weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and craft compelling arguments to safeguard your rights. 

Criminal Defense During the Investigation Process

Retaining counsel immediately after arrest protects you from making statements or decisions that could strengthen the case against you during the investigation phase. Early legal intervention enables us to preserve favorable evidence, interview witnesses while their memories are still fresh, and prevent law enforcement from violating your constitutional protections during questioning and searches.

Protects Your Constitutional Rights

Law enforcement often violates constitutional protections during searches and interrogations, which can render evidence inadmissible in court. We examine police conduct to identify rights violations, helping suppress illegally obtained evidence and, in some cases, secure dismissal of charges.

Investigate Your Case

Developing a strong defense requires a comprehensive investigation that goes beyond police reports and discovery materials. We carry out independent investigations, including: 

• Interviewing witnesses and obtaining statements.
• Collecting surveillance footage and physical evidence.
• Consulting expert witnesses for technical analysis.
• Examining crime scene locations and conditions.
• Reviewing police reports for inconsistencies.
• Obtaining exculpatory evidence supporting innocence.

Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 38.22 establishes the requirements for the admissibility of custodial statements, which we carefully examine to challenge the admissibility of confession evidence. Our comprehensive investigation frequently reveals exonerating evidence, credibility issues with witnesses, and procedural violations that significantly improve defense positions.

Files Motions

Pretrial motions challenge inadmissible evidence, request discovery materials, suppress illegally obtained statements, and seek favorable rulings that weaken prosecution cases before the trial begins. Strategic motion practice can result in evidence suppression, charge reductions, or complete case dismissals when successful arguments demonstrate constitutional violations or insufficient probable cause.

Negotiates With Prosecutors

We leverage investigation findings, legal issues, and mitigating circumstances to negotiate optimal resolutions when trial risks outweigh the potential benefits of proceeding to a verdict. Our attorneys pursue plea deals, charge reductions, or alternatives such as deferred adjudication to avoid convictions and lengthy sentences, utilizing case facts and mitigating circumstances to negotiate the best possible outcome.

Criminal Defense During Court Proceedings

Once cases proceed to court, our Comanche County criminal defense attorney team provides comprehensive representation designed to achieve acquittals, dismissals, or minimal penalties through strategic advocacy and effective litigation. Our courtroom services include:

• Jury selection and voir dire examination.
• Opening statements and closing arguments.
• Cross-examination of prosecution witnesses.
• Presentation of defense evidence and testimony.
• Objections to improper evidence or procedures.
• Post-trial motions and appeals, when necessary.

Texas Penal Code § 12.42 establishes enhanced punishment ranges for repeat offenders that we challenge through motion practice and sentencing advocacy. Effective courtroom representation requires thorough preparation, a solid foundation in legal knowledge, and persuasive communication skills that we bring to every case, regardless of the severity of the charge.

Develops a Tailored Defense Strategy

Each case requires customized defense approaches tailored to specific charges, available evidence, witness credibility, and client objectives, rather than generic strategies applied uniformly. We analyze strengths and weaknesses to develop targeted defenses that address prosecution theories, exploit evidentiary gaps, and present compelling alternative narratives supporting reasonable doubt or complete innocence.

Negotiates Plea Bargains

When trial risks outweigh potential benefits, negotiating favorable plea agreements that reduce charges, minimize sentences, or preserve rights often yields better outcomes than proceeding to uncertain verdicts. We leverage case weaknesses, legal issues, and client circumstances to secure optimal plea terms, including probation instead of incarceration, misdemeanor reductions from felonies, and deferred adjudication, avoiding convictions.

Represents You in Court

Trial representation involves delivering persuasive opening statements, skillfully cross-examining witnesses, presenting favorable evidence, and making compelling closing arguments to create reasonable doubt in the minds of jurors. Our courtroom experience and advocacy skills provide vigorous defense against prosecution attempts to secure convictions through emotional appeals and circumstantial evidence.
