Whether you are facing a misdemeanor DWI charge or a felony sex allegation, our attorneys are always available to assist you.
FORT WORTH DWI LAWYERS
Our attorneys handle DWI and other intoxication-related charges throughout Texas. We regularly handle cases in Tarrant, Dallas, Johnson, Parker, Wise, and Denton Counties. Of our 550+ jury trials, over 150 were DWI, Intoxication Assault, or Intoxication Manslaughter trials. There are few attorneys or firms that have handled more intoxication-related offenses. Our DWI attorneys are experienced in litigating every type of intoxication offense from complete refusals and breath test cases to blood cases that involve alcohol, drugs, prescription medication and serious injury or death.

SEXUAL ASSAULT DEFENSE
Allegations of sexual assault, almost more than any other allegation, are devastating. Prison time and registration as a sex offender suddenly become a very real possibility. Unfortunately it has become very easy to make a false accusation and for that allegation to have consequences that jeopardize families, careers, and freedom. We understand how serious these allegations are and have decades of experience handling these cases. Fort Worth Sexual Assault Defense
ASSAULT DEFENSE
Assault charges can range from Misdemeanor Assaults including Family Violence cases to Aggravated Assault with Deadly Weapons charges that could carry sentences of up to twenty years in prison. Assault Attorneys
FEDERAL CRIMINAL DEFENSE | FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTORS
Federal criminal cases are very different than state cases. The system favors the government, and there are many pitfalls that a state criminal defense attorney may not be prepared for. The partners at our firm include two former federal prosecutors and three Board Certified Criminal Law Specialists. You will be hard-pressed to find any firm in Texas that brings so much experience to the table. Federal Criminal Defense
CRIMINAL AND CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE DEFENSE
State and federal law enforcement agents can seize property even if you are not guilty of a crime and shift the burden to you to prove that you were an innocent owner. Asset forfeitures can happen administratively, civilly, or criminally. It is important to understand the differences and how to handle each. Few lawyers understand how asset forfeitures work or how to defend against them. Steve Jumes is one of the nation’s leading asset forfeiture attorneys and has successfully recovered millions of dollars of assets for our clients. Asset Forfeiture Defense
FEDERAL CRIMINAL RESTITUTION
Federal sentences often involve restitution orders. This means that once a person has served their time in federal prison they have to get out, reestablish their lives, while having restitution payments, often in the millions, to repay the federal government. Our attorneys assist with reducing restitution obligations on the front end, setting up payment terms, and re-negotiating restitution agreements. Federal Restitution Defense
