If the police or investigators overstepped their bounds, we may be able to have critical evidence suppressed or charges dismissed. Our legal strategies are built around exposing these issues and leveraging them in your favor.
In Texas, criminal offenses are typically categorized as either misdemeanors or felonies. A misdemeanor conviction can result in up to 12 months in a county jail, whereas a felony could lead to multiple years—or even a life sentence—in a state correctional facility. However, jail time isn’t the only consequence. A conviction may also lead to:
Expensive fines and mandatory court fees
Probation, mandated counseling, or community service
Loss or suspension of professional licenses and certifications
A lasting criminal record
Barriers to finding employment, housing, or furthering education
Immigration issues for non-citizens
If you’re charged with a crime in Denton, it’s crucial to have experienced legal representation familiar with the local legal landscape. At Texas Criminal Defense Group, we offer customized defense strategies and a strong track record of success throughout your community.

Aggravated Assault? I think not!
Nancy aggravated assault felony was dismissed this week. Nancy's roommate called the police claiming Nancy pulled a gun on her/pistol-whipped her. Even though there were no injuries, the police arrested Nancy and when she bonded out the roommate had stolen her jewelry and broken into her safe with a crowbar, and pawned a bunch of her stuff. We presented our grand jury packet on Wednesday and the DA rejected the case the next day. - DISMISSED
