State of Texas vs. H.W.   *JURY TRIAL - NOT GUILTY*

State of Texas vs. C.L. *BENCH TRIAL - NOT GUILTY*

Client was accused of being the operator of a vehicle that was involved in a major accident and fleeing the scene. The police officers found two suspects that matched the description provided by two eye witnesses. At the scene the Client was identified as the driver by both eye witnesses.  However, at trial there was conflicting evidence as to who was operating the vehicle.  The Court found that reasonable doubt existed and the verdict was NOT GUILTY.

State of Texas vs. R.R. *JURY TRIAL - GUILTY*

Client was involved in a single car accident.  Officers testified that during the investigation a tequila bottle "went missing".  The Client is seen on video cursing the officers until he is finally drug to the police cruiser.  A Jury found him guilty and he was sentenced to 18 months probation and 10 days in jail.  Even though this case was a loser from the beginning, it was worth it to the Client to try.  100% of people who plead guilty to DWI are convicted. Sometimes even bad cases need to be tried.

*Note from Attorney Barnett*

"Some attorneys publish case results that are ALL positive.  The truth is no attorney wins ALL their cases.  Each case has it's own set of facts and circumstances.  I promise to my clients that I will give their case the attention to detail that it deserves.  If we don't fight, not only are we guaranteed to lose, but our rights under the Constitution are weakened.  Big Government has done enough to threaten your rights, so don't just roll over."

Cost of Representation

Every case is different.  During your initial consultation, the defense attorney will discuss the various complexities that may be encountered in your case.  Typically, the fee will be structured in such a way that should your case be resolved early in the process, your costs will be lower.  There are so many variables that are particular to each case, it would be unfair to quote prices without a close look at your case.

Instead of asking "what's it going to cost to hire a good criminal defense lawyer?"

You should be asking "what's it going to cost if I don't hire a good criminal defense lawyer?"
