    Why You Need a Frisco Criminal Defense Attorney

    Facing criminal charges without a lawyer—or relying on a public defender—jeopardizes your future. Public defenders are skilled attorneys, but they often juggle overwhelming caseloads. That means they may not have the time or resources to investigate your case thoroughly, gather vital evidence, or challenge the prosecution’s claims. Without a dedicated defense, you risk harsher penalties, longer sentences, or a criminal record that impacts your career and reputation.

    As your Frisco criminal defense team, we’ll work tirelessly to give you every possible advantage. We can investigate the facts, examine police conduct, and identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. Our team can also negotiate for reduced charges, fight to dismiss evidence obtained illegally, and present strong arguments in court. If your case goes to trial, we can use expert witnesses, forensic analysis, and strategic cross-examination to challenge the prosecution’s version of events.

    Every case is different, so we tailor our defense strategy to your specific circumstances and goals. Our mission is to secure the best possible outcome—whether that means a dismissal, a favorable plea deal, or a not-guilty verdict.

    Why Choose My Dallas Criminal Lawyer for Your Case?

     

    Choosing My Dallas Criminal Lawyer for your case means you benefit from working with a former Collin County prosecutor. Founding attorney Justin Wilson led misdemeanor prosecutions and handled felony cases before switching to criminal defense. He also trained law enforcement officers in DWI law, and those insights can help us dismantle the state’s case during trials or plea negotiations.

    Furthermore, our attorneys have over a decade of combined trial experience. That practical knowledge means we understand the importance of vigorous preparation, persuasive advocacy, and strategic courtroom guidance for each client.

    As a Super Lawyers–recognized firm, we offer a level of peer-reviewed excellence you won’t easily find elsewhere. Finally, you get direct access to a defense lawyer who listens, communicates clearly, and adapts their strategy to your circumstances.

    What to Do After an Arrest to Protect Yourself

    You should contact a lawyer as soon as possible after your arrest. However, building a strong defense starts from the moment the police take you into custody. Here’s what to do to protect yourself:

    • Stay calm and avoid arguing with the police to prevent additional charges and avoid saying anything incriminating.
    • Exercise your right to remain silent, as the police or prosecutors can use anything you say against you in court.
    • Request a lawyer immediately and clearly state you want legal representation before answering any questions.
    • Do not discuss your case with other inmates or over jail phones. The police can record these conversations and use them as evidence.
    • Avoid signing any statements or documents without talking to a lawyer first. Otherwise, you might inadvertently waive vital rights or admit your guilt.
    • Share the details of your arrest with your lawyer, including the officers’ names, badge numbers, and any unusual events.
    • Limit outside communication to essential contact with trusted family or friends.

    Steps in a Typical Frisco Criminal Case

    Most criminal cases in Frisco never reach the trial stage. However, knowing what to expect as your case progresses can help you prepare and stay calm. The main steps in Frisco criminal cases include:
    • Booking and processing – After your arrest, the police will record your personal information, take your fingerprints, and place you in a holding cell.
    • Hiring a defense lawyer – Hiring an attorney early allows them to start protecting your rights and investigating your case as soon as possible, giving you a stronger chance of a better outcome.
    • Initial appearance – Next, you’ll appear before a judge. They will inform you of your charges and explain your rights under Texas law.
    • Bail hearing – At this stage, the judge will decide whether to release you on bail, set bond conditions, or keep you in custody until your trial.
    • Investigation and evidence review – As you wait and prepare for your trial, your lawyer will examine police reports, witness statements, video footage, and other evidence. They’re hunting for weaknesses in the prosecution’s case that might benefit you.
    • Pretrial motions – Your attorney may file motions to suppress evidence, dismiss or reduce your charges, or challenge how the police handled their investigation.
    • Plea negotiations – The prosecution may offer to reduce your charges or recommend a lighter sentence in exchange for a guilty plea. Don’t accept any plea deals without talking to a lawyer first.
    • Trial – If your case goes to trial, both sides will present evidence, question witnesses, and make arguments before a jury.
    • Verdict – Based on the evidence and arguments presented, the jury will announce whether you are guilty or not guilty.
    • Sentencing – If you’re convicted, the court will impose penalties such as jail, probation, fines, or community service.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Criminal Cases in Frisco

    We know you have questions about the justice syste

    You have the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, and the right to be informed of your charges. You also have the right to avoid self-incrimination and to have your lawyer present during any questioning. If the police or prosecutors violate these rights, we can challenge the evidence or any statements you gave.

    Not necessarily. The court can often release you on bail or bond while your case moves forward. We can request a bail hearing and argue for your release or reduced bail. The decision will depend on factors such as the charges, your criminal history, and whether the court considers you a flight risk.

    Yes, it’s possible. We can carefully examine the evidence, police procedures, and witness statements for weaknesses. If the prosecution’s case has major flaws—such as illegal searches, unreliable testimony, or lack of proof—we can push for reduced charges or a full dismissal.

    A plea deal can lower your charges or penalties in exchange for a guilty plea. We can evaluate whether the offer benefits you, explain the long-term consequences, and possibly negotiate for better terms.

    The timeline depends on your charges, the court’s schedule, and whether you go to trial. Some cases conclude in weeks through plea agreements, while others take months or longer if they involve extensive motions, hearings, or a trial.

    No. Even if you believe you are innocent, speaking to the police without a lawyer can harm your case. We can communicate with law enforcement on your behalf to protect your rights and make sure the police don’t misinterpret your statements.

    In some situations, yes. Texas law allows expungement or nondisclosure orders for certain offenses if you meet the requirements. We can review your case history and determine if clearing or sealing your record is possible.

    False accusations happen, and a thorough, aggressive defense is essential to proving your innocence. We can build a strong defense by gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and challenging the prosecution’s claims.

    Many cases end with dismissals, plea agreements, or diversion programs. If a trial is in your interest, we can prepare extensively and fight for the best possible outcome in court.
