Getting arrested in Texas is scary. You might worry about going to jail, paying fines, losing your job, and what a criminal record could mean for your future. You need someone on your side to protect your rights, help you understand what comes next, and defend you against the charge.

David Breston and his wife founded the firm in 1997. Since then, our team has handled more than 4,000 matters involving criminal defense, juvenile law, and immigration law.
We know clients want clear answers when they face criminal charges. We take the time to review the facts, explain the court process, and keep clients informed about their cases.
We offer more than 20 years of trial experience, personal attention from an experienced legal team, help with state and federal criminal charges, and free confidential consultations in English and Spanish. We also handle immigration matters, which may be important when a criminal charge could affect a person’s immigration status.
Criminal cases can range from misdemeanors to serious felonies. Our attorneys handle many types of charges, including:
We also help eligible clients with expungement, orders of nondisclosure, and other record-sealing matters.
What happens next depends on the charge and the facts of the case. You may have to appear in court, deal with bond conditions, and meet important deadlines while prosecutors build their case.
Our team can begin by reviewing the evidence early. This may include police reports, body camera footage, witness statements, photographs, test results, search warrants, and other records. We also look at whether police had a legal reason to stop, search, question, or arrest you. When officers obtain evidence in violation of the law, you may have grounds to challenge whether they can use it in court.
Depending on the case, we may discuss possible plea agreements with prosecutors or prepare the case for trial. The right approach depends on the evidence and your goals.
Avoid discussing the facts of the case on social media or with people who do not need to know about it. Keep any paperwork you receive from police, the jail, or the court, and make note of all upcoming court dates. Talking with our defense lawyers early can give us more time to review the evidence and identify possible problems with the state’s case.
