Why You Need a Round Rock Criminal Law Attorney

Whether you’re facing a felony or a misdemeanor charge, you need a criminal defense attorney you can trust. More is at stake than you might realize. Public defenders may not have the time to challenge inconsistencies in the case against you.

Any criminal charge in Texas is serious. Prosecutors will use every possible resource they have against you. Fighting back is essential.

A criminal conviction can result in life-changing consequences, including:

Jail or prison time
Substantial fines
Probation
Loss of gun rights
Barriers to renting or securing loans
Revocation of professional licenses
Difficulty finding employment

Collateral Consequences of a Criminal Conviction in Round Rock

Pleading guilty or no contest may seem like the easiest option, but any conviction can carry lasting damage:

Loss of child custody or visitation rights
Job loss or suspension of your professional license
Reputation harm (especially if sex offender registration is required)
Long-term impact on whether you qualify for a loan or pass an apartment rental background check.

When building your defense, we assess every possible outcome. Our Austin team has two former prosecutors and two DWI scientists. Additionally, we have an ex-FBI agent, a former judge, and two more DWI scientists on our Texas team. This depth of experience gives us an edge when anticipating how our opponents will approach your case. We use that insider knowledge to fight for the best outcome.
