True Bill = Indictment
No Bill = No Indictment

I represent all types of people who have been accused of breaking some law. Many for nonviolent offenses. Everyone's case is different even if there might be similarities. If you are one of those people, that for one reason or another, your case wasn't able to be dismissed and you had to take a plea bargain agreement, or you were found guilty, you are not that blemish. Who you are is a sum of all your life and what you do moving forward will define who you are as a person. A conviction is not the end of the line. Your life is not over, you do not have to be defined by those mistakes. It is never to late to turn things around. All is not lost and you are not worthless.

It's Monday! Here's some news you can use. Assault charges can change from a misdemeanor to a felony quick. Literally zero to 100...real quick, when the person alleged to be assaulted is a police officer or a judge. The caveat? And have to know that the person is an officer/judge.

You can't typically get a conviction expunged, BUT, this is one of those rare times where a new law allows for people with a conviction for something that's not illegal anymore, an opportunity for an expungement, in most cases

I know what you're all thinking...Texas is behind the times. We're in the Bible belt, folks! You still can't buy liquor on Sundays, but you can get your alcohol to go from restaurants thanks to the change in the law. Put don't go around drinking in your cars. Your to go orders must remain sealed. Cheers!

My client was charged with assaulting a police officer at a club in County, Texas. My client had never been in trouble before and this was obviously a stressful situation for him. He trusted me, he trusted my strategy and today he walks away with his case dismissed. Call the T. Baker Law Office if you're in need of a defense attorney
