We handle felonies
and misdemeanors
in the state courts of Dallas County and traffic
tickets and class
c misdemeanors in selected municipal and JP courts in Dallas
County.
We do not handle cases in the federal courts and we do not do any
post-judgment work such as criminal appeals, motions for new
trial, writs of habeas corpus, or parole matters.
We do, however, handle probation
violations,
petitions for non-disclosure and expunctions.
Also related to criminal practice we petition for occupational
drivers licenses.
Felonies can range tremendously in seriousness
and price. It is impossible to give price estimates without
information about a particular case and the client's criminal
history.
Our minimum fee on any felony is $1,500 for an agreed disposition.
We will start a minimum fee case for $1,000 down with the balance
payable in 60 days. Minimum trial fees are $2,500 for a trial by
judge and $5,000 for a trial by jury. Very serious cases will
greatly exceed these fees and may require a retainer of several
thousand dollars.
We generally do not get involved with bond reduction matters or
bonding in general. We do not do post judgment work including
appeals, motion for new trials, writs of habeas corpus, or parole
matters.
We do, however, handle probation
violations and expunctions.
