An Experienced Criminal Defense Trial Attorney Protecting Your Legal Rights
Knowing your legal rights when you are arrested or are being questioned by the police can help protect you from self-incrimination. Invoking these rights is a wise and informed legal move. Your next step should be to contact an experienced and skilled criminal defense attorney who will continue to protect your rights and provide aggressive legal advocacy both in and outside of the courtroom.
The Law Office of Doug Emerson is an established legal practice located in Weatherford, Texas, with a dedicated focus on criminal defense. As founding attorney, I have been practicing law for 24 years and bring my extensive trial experience to each case that I take. Having tried more than 200 cases, I help those who have been charged with a variety of crimes on both the state and federal levels. My firm provides representation at all stages of a criminal proceeding, including investigation, pre- and post-indictment, trial, appeal, and probation and/or parole revocations.
Obtaining Favorable Results for Criminal Defendants
Regardless of the criminal charge, a conviction can have a wide range of punishments. Not only is your freedom at stake, but you may also experience harmful collateral damages. I understand the severity of what my clients face, and I am unwavering in my defense of their position.
While there are no guarantees in criminal law, I have a strong track record of success in obtaining not-guilty verdicts at trial. In addition, due to my reputation as an aggressive trial lawyer, I am in a strong position to negotiate with the state's attorney. When trial is not the right option, I am skilled in fighting for lessened or dropped charges, as well as favorable plea agreements and settlements.
As your attorney, I am always honest about the seriousness of your charges, as well as potential outcomes. Based on more than two decades of practicing criminal law, I find when clients are equipped with the truth, they are in a better position to protect themselves and their future. Contact my firm to learn more about how I can help you with a wide range of criminal matters, including assault and murder, domestic violence, DWI defense, and drug charges.
