Richardson Criminal Defense Lawyer

Richardson is one of the cities we regularly represent people in, and it straddles a county line: the city is in both Dallas and Collin counties. Where your case lands depends on where the arrest or the alleged incident happened.

Why does the Dallas County side matter?

Because it’s a different courthouse and a different prosecutor’s office. It also happens to be where one of our founding attorneys started. Patrick McGuire worked his way up to felony prosecutor in the trial division of the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office, in Criminal District Court No. 1, prosecuting murders, aggravated assaults, drug offenses and many other kinds of cases. He has seen how these cases are built.

If you’re on the other side of the line, here’s how cases move in Collin County.

What do we handle for Richardson clients?

Family violence cases are a core part of our work: family violence and domestic violence defense, assault family violence and protective orders. We also defend drug crimes, DWI and the rest of our practice areas.

What should you do first?
