The goal of an aggressive criminal defense lawyer should be to get the case dismissed, if at all possible.  If it is not possible, then other options will be presented to the Client. These options include a trial before a Judge or jury, a reduction of the charge, a conditional dismissal, deferred adjudication probation or mitigation of any punishment.  In the event of a dismissal or deferred adjudication probation, it may be possible to either expunge the records relating to the case or petition the court for an order of non-disclosure, effectively sealing the records.  We handle all criminal matters throughout the State of Texas.
