    Criminal Defense Services in Carrollton

    My Dallas Criminal Lawyer handles a broad range of criminal charges in Carrollton and throughout the Dallas area. Our practice includes both misdemeanor and felony cases. Each case is different, and we develop defense strategies tailored to the specific facts and circumstances involved.

    DWI and Driving Under the Influence

    DWI charges carry serious potential penalties in Texas, including license suspension, fines, jail time, and a permanent record. Under Texas Penal Code § 49.04, driving while intoxicated is a Class B misdemeanor with a minimum confinement of 72 hours. If you’ve been arrested for driving while intoxicated in Carrollton, you still have rights and options. We review the evidence against you, challenge any unreliable test results, and examine whether the police followed proper legal procedures during your stop and arrest.

    We also represent clients in Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearings, which are separate from the criminal case. These hearings determine whether your license will be suspended. A favorable outcome may allow you to retain driving privileges while your case is pending. Learn more about our DWI defense services and the DWI court process.

    Drug Crime Defense

    Drug charges in Texas range from low‑level possession to more serious distribution or trafficking allegations. Under Texas Health and Safety Code § 481.115, penalties depend on the type and amount of the controlled substance involved. We defend clients charged with marijuana possession, cocaine, methamphetamine, prescription drug offenses, and related crimes.

    Our defense approach includes carefully reviewing how law enforcement obtained evidence, whether any searches or seizures violated your rights, and whether the prosecution can prove each element of its case beyond a reasonable doubt. Our drug crimes defense team has extensive experience with controlled substance cases and understands the nuances of drug possession charges.

    Violent Crime Defense in Carrollton

    Violent crime charges can lead to lengthy prison sentences if convicted, which makes strong representation essential. We handle cases involving assault, aggravated assault, domestic violence, weapons offenses, and homicide allegations. These cases require detailed investigation and a sound understanding of self‑defense laws and other applicable defenses.

    Violent crime cases often involve disputed facts and emotional testimony. We present your version of events, scrutinize the prosecution’s evidence, and work to safeguard your rights throughout the process. Whether your case involves an altercation in public, at work, or within a family, we provide steady legal representation. Explore our violent crime defense services.

    White Collar and Federal Crimes

    Certain criminal allegations involve financial or regulatory issues prosecuted at the state or federal level. We assist clients facing fraud, embezzlement, identity theft, and other financial crimes. Federal cases involve additional procedures and coordination with federal prosecutors. Our team has experience handling cases that proceed in federal court and understands how to approach those proceedings strategically.

    Beyond the areas listed above, My Dallas Criminal Lawyer assists clients with a variety of other criminal matters. We handle probation violation cases, expungement and record sealing proceedings, theft and property crime cases, and charges involving sex offenses.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What should I do if I'm arrested in Carrollton?

    If you’re arrested, remain calm, exercise your right to remain silent, and request an attorney immediately. Do not speak with police officers without counsel. Contact My Dallas Criminal Lawyer as soon as possible so we can begin protecting your rights. We’re available 24/7 to respond to arrests that happen at any time. Learn more about the arrest process in Dallas County.

    How much does a criminal defense lawyer cost?

    Legal fees depend on the nature of the charges and the amount of work required. Some cases may be resolved quickly through negotiation, while others require extended preparation and trial work. We offer free consultations to discuss your situation and explain our fee structure. Payment arrangements are considered when appropriate.

    Can you help with out‑of‑state charges?

    If you are facing charges in another state, we can review your circumstances and help connect you with licensed attorneys in that jurisdiction. We also represent clients with related charges in multiple states. Contact us for guidance on your options.

    What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?

    Misdemeanors are less serious offenses that can result in up to one year in jail and fines. Felonies carry more severe penalties, including potential prison sentences longer than one year. A felony conviction may also affect voting rights and employment opportunities. Your specific charge determines the classification.

    How long does a criminal case typically take?

    The time required to resolve a criminal case varies depending on the charges, the evidence, and whether a trial is necessary. Some cases resolve within months, while others may take a year or more. We provide a realistic estimate once we review your case details. Understanding the criminal defense timeline and process can help you prepare.

    Will my case go to trial?

    Not every case goes to trial. Many cases conclude through plea agreements or negotiations with prosecutors. Whether your case proceeds to trial depends on the evidence, charges, and your goals. We explain all options so you can make informed decisions. Learn about charges being dropped before trial.

    Can charges be dismissed or reduced?

    In some situations, charges may be dismissed or reduced. We examine the government’s evidence, challenge any constitutional violations, and look for weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. When appropriate, we negotiate with prosecutors to seek a more favorable outcome. Review our case results and testimonials to see how we’ve helped clients.
