Frisco, TX
Frisco Family Violence & Criminal Defense Lawyer
Frisco sits in both Collin and Denton counties, so the first question in a Frisco case is often which one. Chiles McGuire Criminal Law defends family violence, assault, DWI and other criminal charges for Frisco clients.
Frisco is one of the cities we regularly represent people in, and it comes with a question that a McKinney or Allen case doesn’t: which county are you in?
Why does the county matter in a Frisco case?
Frisco is in both Collin and Denton counties. The county decides which courthouse and which prosecutor’s office you’ll deal with. People sometimes learn this late. Look at your paperwork, and tell us exactly where the arrest or the alleged incident happened.
If you’re on the Collin County side, here’s how cases move there. We also handle criminal trials and appeals for clients across Texas.
Who will you be working with?
The firm’s attorneys. James T. Chiles has handled hundreds of cases in more than twenty Texas counties. Patrick McGuire, who grew up in nearby Prosper, is a former felony prosecutor. Eddie R. Mendoza is a former Assistant United States Attorney. We take on a limited number of serious cases, so each client gets individualized support. Read more about the firm.
What should you know about a family violence charge?
The label comes from the Family Code’s definition, and it covers more relationships than a marriage. The first order you see may be an emergency protective order. Before any plea, ask about the finding in the judgment and your firearm rights. Our main page on family violence defense puts it together. Call us at 214-628-7292.
