Rockwall Criminal Defense Attorney

As one of only a few Board Certified Criminal Law specialists practicing in Rockwall County, I am uniquely qualified to handle your Rockwall case. There are many who practice criminal law in the area, but few who have tried enough cases or devoted themselves sufficiently to the study of criminal law to become board certified. Don't you want a lawyer who has dedicated himself to excelling in the area of law that you need help in?

I have been a lawyer for over a decade, but I am have tried more jury trials than lawyers with many more years of experience. My experiences as a Felony Chief Prosecutor in Dallas and the First Assistant District Attorney in Kaufman County brought me a ton of trials and the respect of prosecutors across the metroplex, including the Rockwall County District Attorney's Office. In the beginning it was DWIs, within a couple years it was murders, aggravated sexual assaults, and robberies. By the end it was capital murders and other high-profile cases. I tried my first jury trial at the age of 25 and my first murder at the age of 27. Ten years and over 150 jury trials later, I have been tested time and again in the "crucible of trial."

I also have devoted myself to a different kind of law practice in my client's level of access to me. I will take your call every time I possibly can, and I will return your call the same day. I hold myself to the highest standards of excellence in the courtroom. I also am pursuing the highest level of service to my clients.

If you have been arrested in Rockwall, Heath, or Royce City, Texas, you have some challenges before you. Aside from the fact that you have been arrested, charged, and had to post bond, this is Rockwall County. This community is very tough on crime. Whether it is District Judge Hall or County Court at Law Judge Rako: they are going to be tough. If a jury decides you fate, Rockwall juries are notoriously conservative prone to doling out huge punishment when given the opportunity. Finally, the Rockwall District Attorney's Office is an "in demand" place to work for skilled prosecutors. It is no shock that under the steady leadership of Kenda Culpepper, they have loaded the ranks with tough trial lawyers. You need someone who is comfortable in this courthouse who has the experience and skill to challenge the government to protect your rights.
