How it works
Four steps. No surprise bills. I pick up the phone.
No retainer tricks, no hourly runup, no “we’ll figure out the fees later.” You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before you sign anything.
01
Free consultation — 30 minutes
In person at my Oak Cliff office, on the phone, on WhatsApp, or on a Zoom. En español or English. I’ll ask what happened, look at the paperwork you have, and tell you honestly whether this is a case I can help with — or whether you need somebody else.
You pay nothing and owe nothing for this call. If I’m not the right lawyer, I’ll tell you.
02
The 15-day window — ALR hearing
The most important thing that happens in your case has nothing to do with your criminal charge. You have 15 days from the date of your arrest to request an ALR hearing and protect your driver’s license. Miss it, and you lose your license automatically — even if you win the criminal case.
Most lawyers handle this as an afterthought. I treat it as priority number one. We file the request the day you retain me.
03
The actual case — motions, negotiation, trial if needed
I prosecuted DWIs for three years. I know what the state is looking for and where their evidence is usually weakest — blood draw chain-of-custody, breathalyzer calibration logs, probable cause for the stop itself. Every case I take, we file motions to suppress whatever shouldn’t be there.
Most cases resolve without trial. Some need to go. Either way, you’ll know the plan before we file.
04
After the case — what lasts
A case isn’t over when the charge is resolved. Depending on the outcome, you may be eligible for non-disclosure (sealing the record from most background checks) two years later. If you’re a non-citizen, we’ll coordinate with immigration counsel on what your outcome means for your status.
I keep your file, and I answer the phone when you call with a question three years from now.
