Allen is in Collin County, and it’s one of the cities we regularly represent people in. That makes the path simpler than in a split city: an Allen case is usually a Collin County case.
What does a Collin County case look like?
It depends on the charge. Class A and Class B misdemeanors generally go to the Collin County Courts at Law. District courts hear felonies. Some lower-level offenses are handled by municipal or justice courts. An assault family violence charge is usually a Class A misdemeanor, and a few facts can make it a felony.
What do we do first for an Allen client?
We read what you’ve been given. That means the charge, the bond conditions and any emergency protective order. Then we start on the facts: witness statements, text messages, photos and video, and whether the stop, search and statements were lawful. Save everything you have, and don’t discuss the case with anyone but your attorney.
If a family member is in trouble, you can call for them. Parents of a young person should also see our page on juvenile crimes.
What does it cost?
