DWI Charges
While DWI first-time offenders face class-B misdemeanor penalties under Texas law, don’t think you can handle the matter alone. Before you accept whatever fate law enforcement offers, call Jeanie Ortiz for help. The consequences of a guilty plea will impact your future. Any evidence the police uses against you in a DWI case is subject to challenge. Call an attorney who will fight for you.
Assault and Murder Charges
Violent crimes are among the most difficult charges to defend against in criminal law, and carry the most severe penalties. The public fears violent offenders while prosecutors use these cases to make their careers. Ms. Ortiz will jump in, unconcerned about those issues and focus on the facts of the case as she develops a strong strategy for your defense.
Theft Cases
The current District Attorney in Harris County noted that the prosecutor’s office is laser-focused on reducing thefts and burglaries in Houston and the surrounding area. An overzealous prosecutor could trample your rights as an accused defendant. If you are accused of theft, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney like Ms. Ortiz to protect your right to be treated fairly by law enforcement. She’ll work hard to get a fair and just outcome.
Expungement
A conviction on even a minor criminal charge will leave a permanent stain on your record. The conviction could prevent you from getting a job or much-needed loan.
