Incredible news! We successfully got a young client's case dismissed before it even began. The district attorney's office decided not to move forward, meaning no criminal record. This highlights the importance of securing experienced legal counsel early to fight for the best possible outcome.

Silence is your best defense. ⚖️

Talking to the police without a lawyer isn't "cooperation"—it's a risk. Protect your future before you say a word. One call can change the trajectory of your case.

I spoke with FOX 26’s Mekenna Earnhart TV today about the heartbreaking case of a 10‑year‑old now charged with the murder of a 13‑year‑old in Harris County. As a criminal defense attorney, I see first-hand how complex these situations are — legally, developmentally, and emotionally. When children this young are allegedly involved, there are no easy answers, but rather, hard questions.

I appreciate the opportunity to help bring legal clarity to a case that has shaken so many. These conversations are difficult, but they’re necessary if we want to understand what justice truly requires when the accused is still a child--and that includes presuming the accused innocent and letting the justice system work.
