Our Proven Method to Defend You from Criminal Charges in Tarrant County
Our criminal defense lawyers believe preparation is the key to success. Our approach includes:
Thorough Discovery Review
Investigating the government’s investigation: Reading all the reports, witness statements, bodycam, and anything and everything that the government has on your case. A strong defense begins with knowing what the government thinks that they know.
Independent Investigation
Interviewing witnesses, using private investigators to corroborate defensive theories, and identifying what could have gone wrong with the case.
​
We work with former law enforcement to identify things that lawyers might miss.
Building a Defense for Guilt, Punishment, and the Appeal
A strong defense begins by preparing for trial on day one.
​
Figuring out where the case has its weaknesses in all areas can result in dismissal, diversion, reduction, or probation. If all else fails: we are ready for trial.

We’ll defend you or your loved ones, no matter what the charges. We have represented people from all occupations, in all varieties of criminal cases.
Assault Family Violence or Domestic Violence Defense
Frequently called “assault family violence,” being accused of domestic violence can have a devastating impact on your life. In Texas, domestic violence laws are strict, and consequences can include:
​
-
Jail time or prison.
-
Permanent criminal record (Family Violence charges cannot be non-disclosed, even with deferred probation)
-
Protective orders.
-
Loss of child custody or visitation rights.
-
Lifetime firearms ban under Federal law.
​
Hiring an experienced team of lawyers is necessary to make sure you have the bests odds. Family violence charges, like assault, aggravated assault, harassment, stalking, and more, can arise from the word of only one person. Being aggressive in the investigation of these cases is vital. Specifically, interviewing any witnesses, discovering the mental health and criminal history of witnesses, uncovering motives to lie will become increasingly crucial.
Lawyers for Drug Crimes in Fort Worth and Tarrant County
From possession of a controlled substance, marijuana, to manufacture and delivery, we’ll challenge the evidence and fight for reduced charges or case dismissal.
​
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.
​
We can investigate your case to see if there is a motion to suppress evidence based on illegal search or seizure, challenge the validity of search warrants, as well challenge the intentional or knowing possession of the alleged controlled substance. Frequently, the State may have difficulty proving that you ever knew the drugs were there.
​
And for first time offenders, we are usually successful in having more risk averse clients admitted into a Pre-Trial Diversion program to get their case dismissed, and have them eligible to expunge all records of the court case or arrest.
Gun Charges like UCW or UPF
We are experts in defending all manner of gun charges, including UCW and UPF charges. Mark Streiff is known among lawyers in Texas 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 Crimes
We defend people against charges of shoplifting, robbery, burglary, credit/debit card abuse, and all manner and means of committing theft, including “white collar” type offenses.
​
We defend these theft cases regularly and have developed methods to avoid conviction and obtain dismissals.
Sex Crimes and Crimes Against Children
We are very experienced in handling these cases, with the goal always being for our clients to avoid prison and avoid having to register as a sex offender. In these cases, you should only hire lawyers with extensive experience in taking these cases specifically to trial, not just trials in general. All of our partners have experience taking these to trial; most notably Jodi D. Liukkonen.
Harassment and Stalking
We have recently done a tremendous amount of research on the legislative history and law surrounding the vast majority of these cases. Most frequently now charged in Dallas-Fort Worth as electronic communications harassment, many find themselves charged with a third degree felony Stalking charge for saying mean things in text messages or on the internet.
​​
This is unconstitutional, and we fight these cases. We will come prepared with a first amendment challenge if your case has the right facts.
