What You Should Know

Terry W. Yates, Texas criminal defense lawyer dedicated to DWI/drunk driving, drug possession, white-collar crimes, alcohol violations, manslaughter and all federal chargesEach client's situation is different and there are various outcomes and various measures of success. In certain cases, success is the dismissal of all charges and allegations. Other cases result in a successful "not guilty" verdict at trial. Finally, there are cases where success for our client is securing the imposition of the minimum punishment allowed by law.

We encourage all persons who have questions or concerns regarding their situation, EVEN IF NO OFFICIAL ACTION HAS BEGUN, to contact our offices to discuss their situation. It is easier to stop criminal problems at the outset, rather than to correct the problems after they have developed. The earlier an attorney can begin work on your situation, better the result and benefits can be achieved.

What to look for in a criminal defense attorney:

  • You should be comfortable with their style and demeanor
  • The attorney has experience in situations similar to yours
  • The attorney and staff are available at your convenience
  • The attorney has experience dealing and negotiating with prosecutors
  • The attorney should be experienced and skilled if a trial is required.
