Criminal Defense
Felonies
Are you facing a felony charge? If so, you should think about two things:
You could be facing years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines.
After your sentence is over, there could be a lifetime of consequences you never imagined heading your way.
When someone hears you are a “felon,” they imagine a scary, dangerous person. Doors close on your job prospects. Friends don’t trust you the same way.
All it could take for you to be arrested or charged with a felony is a miniscule amount of drugs and someone pointing the finger at you. All it will take for you to become a felon is thinking you’re out of options and pleading guilty.
I can fight to clear your name. I can correct the assumptions that the prosecutor or the jury might make about you. If need be, I’ll negotiate the best deal possible.
At every stage of your case, I will give you clear, frank advice on your options. You will not have to talk to police, prosecutors, or judges alone. We will work together to decide on your best strategy. I will be the guard at your doorstep.

Misdemeanors
A misdemeanor charge is nothing to toy with or ignore. It could land you in jail for a year and cost you thousands in fines. And even if you avoid or deal with those hurdles, your problems could just be starting.
A misdemeanor conviction or deferred adjudication may take your job or your license away. Probation conditions can take away your freedom to own a gun or move around freely. Years later, a criminal record check may deny your housing, school, or job application.
Trevor can fight all of this. Don't face it alone.
I handle all aspects and types of misdemeanor cases, including:
Drug offenses
Assault
DWI
Theft
Fraud
Criminal Mischief
Criminal Trespass
Terroristic Threat
Failure to Identify

Career Impact after a Criminal Plea or Conviction
Do you have a professional license (anything from a medical license to an apprentice electrician license)? Are you worried about what could happen to that license if you plead out your criminal case?
You should be.
A criminal conviction (or even a gentle deferred adjudication probation for a minor offense) can destroy your career through a license revocation, suspension, or probation. Even if your criminal judge and prosecutor want you to keep your license and your job, they will not decide that issue.
After any criminal plea (even for a deferred adjudication!) statewide regulators and licensing boards make nearly all decisions about who keeps their professional license and who doesn’t. They don’t use criminal law or normal courtrooms for their work. They can be hundreds of miles away from you, working on your case without even telling you.
Your license case might run out of options if you take a plea bargain without considering the impact on your license first.
You may already have a great criminal defense lawyer negotiating an excellent deal for your case. If so, that was a wise decision and I’m happy for you. However, the vast majority of criminal defense lawyers (and the prosecutors and judges) have little to no experience handling professional license cases based on criminal convictions or deferred adjudications.
I spent over 6 years in Austin deciding whether to revoke or suspend thousands of professional licenses across 40+ licensed industries. I represented a state agency at dozens of hearings and licensing board meetings. I helped craft laws and rules regarding whether a license should be revoked after a criminal case.
Put my experience to work protecting your right to work before you sign up for a plea bargain. I can help in different situations:
You already have an excellent criminal defense lawyer: Great! Tell them that I’m available to consult on the best strategies for keeping your license safe. Your attorney and I can team up to offer a complete view of your options on both the criminal case and a future license case. My consultation fee will be credited toward my fee for defending your license if the state does move against it. This service is available statewide.
You represent yourself in a criminal case: I can research your situation and lay out your options for best protecting your professional license, even if I don’t handle the criminal case itself. My consultation fee will be credited toward my fee for defending your license if the state does move against it. This service is available statewide.
You need both a criminal defense lawyer and a license protection lawyer: If your criminal case is in or close to the DFW area and you have a professional license, hire me so I can handle them together. As we work through your criminal case, I will advise you about the potential impact on your license. Once the criminal case is over, we will hopefully have safeguarded your license and you’ll never hear from the state. If they do move to take your license, we will be better prepared to fight that case.
You are a criminal defense lawyer and want me to consult with you and your client on the case’s impact on their license: I would love to team up and craft a criminal case strategy that also protects the license. If a license case does happen after the criminal case, my consultation fee will be credited toward my license defense fee. This service is available statewide.
You have already pled out a criminal case and someone is trying to revoke your license, suspend it, or put it on probation: While it’s always better to plan for or around a license case before pleading out a criminal case, that’s not always possible. Whatever the situation, I can help you. Often, you still have a chance to present evidence that proves you should stay licensed. I will protect your right to be heard and fight hard to convince the licensing agency or board not to destroy your career. This service is available statewide.
