OUR CRIMINAL DEFENSE PRACTICE AREAS
TEXAS CRIMINAL DEFENSE
We are familiar with the judges and prosecutors in dozens of counties throughout Texas. Our offices are located in Fort Worth and Plano, but we will travel anywhere.
We handle all range of criminal charges throughout North Texas and the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area. The lists on our page are non-exhaustive.
MURDER
You need to hire criminal defense attorneys who know the law and actually take these to trial. Our managing partner Mark Streiff is among the U.S. Concealed Carry Association's Critical Response Team, and both James Chiles and Jodi Liukkonen have handled several murders.
DRUG CHARGES, INCLUDING MAN/DEL
We defend all degrees of drug charges, including manufacture or delivery, and possession with intent to deliver. We are well-versed on all of the current law and pre-trial motions that work. These cases are beatable, and have a portfolio of first and second degree felony drug charges that have been dismissed before our clients stand in front of a jury.
CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN
If you or someone you know is facing charges like aggravated sexual assault of a child, then you need a team of lawyers who have handled many of them, and has taken them to trial several times. All of our lawyers have handled these matters, and Jodi Liukkonen has handled crimes against children for over 20 years as a lawyer, and before that as a social worker responding to allegations of child sexual abuse, and was trained as a forensic interviewer when she prosecuted these cases. There were many years where these cases were the only trials she did.
CRIMINAL APPEALS AND WRITS OF HABEAS CORPUS
If you or someone you know is thinking of filing a direct appeal, the deadlines approach extremely quickly and you should make arrangements immediately.
FEDERAL CRIMINAL DEFENSE
We are admitted to practice in the Northern District of Texas and the Eastern District of Texas. Call us to learn how we would handle your federal case.
​
ASSAULT FAMILY VIOLENCE
We have handled hundreds of domestic violence cases, and we get them dismissed regularly. If you need to beat your assault charge in DFW, we can tell you how our defenses work so well.
SEX CRIMES
All accusations of sex crimes can be life-changing. We are very experienced in handling these cases, with the goal always being for our clients to avoid having to register as a sex offender.
GUN CHARGES
We are experts in defending all manner of gun charges, including UCW and UPF charges. Mark Streiff is known among lawyers in Texas, and especially Tarrant County, for authoring the appellee's response brief in State v. Villanueva, 672 S.W.3d 189, 190 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2023, pet. ref'd) and the petition for discretionary review to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in State v. Villanueva, 686 S.W.3d 752 (Tex. Crim. App. 2024).
THEFT
We handle theft cases regularly and have developed methods to avoid conviction and obtain dismissals.
CRIMINAL TRIALS
We are not a plea-deal mill. We like to fight our cases. And the best defenses begin with preparing for all phases of trial even if that day never comes.
HOW WE PRACTICE CRIMINAL DEFENSE IN TEXAS
Pantheon Legal Group, PLLC is a criminal law firm which practices both Texas criminal defense and Federal criminal defense throughout the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area and surrounding counties in North Texas, but we will travel anywhere in Texas. We practice as both criminal trial lawyers and criminal appellate lawyers. Our legal partnership is made up of criminal defense attorneys Mark J. Streiff, Jodi Liukkonen, and James T. Chiles.
​
Our partnership was created with the belief that the accused deserve lawyers who will thoroughly evaluate all the evidence in possession of the government, conduct an independent investigation, collaborate with the accused regarding their defenses and mitigation strategies, provide objective advice, negotiate a plea or go to trial if dismissal is not possible, file innovative and well-researched motions, and file appeals in the circumstance of a conviction at trial.
