Charged With a Crime?

Midland Criminal Defense Attorney 

Defending Clients Facing Criminal Charges in Texas

Facing criminal charges can be a scary time in a person’s life. The possibility of a jail fine–or at the very least, a hefty fine–might be looming. The accused person might be presumed guilty by their social circle and neighborhood. The case the state is preparing might seem more substantial than it is. This is when a Midland criminal defense lawyer who understands the realities of the system should be turned to for reliable guidance and advocacy.

What Is a Criminal Defense Attorney?

A criminal defense attorney is a legal professional specializing in defending individuals and organizations charged with criminal activity. These experts have an in-depth understanding of the law and are adept at navigating complex legal systems. They advocate for their clients, working diligently to ensure their rights are protected throughout the legal process. From negotiating plea deals to presenting cases in court, criminal defense attorneys play a crucial role in maintaining a fair and just legal framework. Their services are particularly vital in challenging situations where the consequences of a conviction could be severe, including jail time, fines, and societal stigma.

Services Provided by a Midland Criminal Defense Attorney

A criminal defense attorney offers a range of services to their clients, including but not limited to:

  • Case Evaluation: This involves a detailed analysis of the case at hand to understand the charges, the evidence presented, and the potential defense strategies that can be adopted.

Team Up With a Former Chief Prosecutor

Our legal system promises every defendant the right to a fair trial. But to be truly “fair,” a defendant must get an attorney who does more than go through the motions. A legitimate defense calls for a lawyer to get in the trenches and fight on every detail of the case. A truly fair trial will involve a defense attorney who believes in his client, listens to his client, and then exhausts every option available.

Attorney Tommy Hull left his job as chief felony prosecutor precisely so he could give this kind of real criminal defense, at least to the clients that come through his door. Before any accused person gives up, they should give him a call.

Criminal Charges We Defend Against 

Assault

Assault includes more than the act of physically striking another person. It can also include the credible threat of violence. Whether the charge is simple assault or the more serious, aggravated assault, Attorney Hull can help.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a crime that is rightly reviled. But just because a crime is rightly revealed doesn’t mean every person accused of it is guilty. Attorney Hull knows that, and he’ll provide a listening ear for any accused person needing to tell their story.

Drug Crimes

Drug crimes might involve high-level trafficking done by a cartel leader out of a plush office. It might also be a teenager with a packet of illegal drugs in the glove compartment of their car. Or anything in between. What the defendants in all of these varied cases have in common is that they need a good lawyer. Attorney Hull is ready for the case.

DWI

Attorney Hull knows that blood-alcohol level tests are not always as infallible as many believe and that not all stops by police officers were justified. No matter what your circumstance, he’ll drill down on the details of a case and see if there’s a viable path to acquittal.

Sex Crimes

A conviction on sex crime charges carries serious consequences in of it itself, but even after the sentence is served, a person might have to register in a database and lose other rights. That’s to say nothing of the loss of reputation. Anyone accused needs the kind of rigorous defense that Attorney Hull provides.

Theft

Unlike robbery or burglary, theft does not involve the use of a weapon or even breaking into someone’s property. That doesn’t mean there can’t be serious penalties, including jail, even for misdemeanor offenses. Call Attorney Hull before talking to the authorities.

Weapons Crimes

Weapons crimes are another charge whose consequences–if convicted–last well beyond the term of the actual sentence. Restrictions and even the elimination of one’s right to possess a gun may follow. Before that happens, let Attorney Hull get you the fair trial you deserve.

What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?

A criminal defense lawyer specializes in representing individuals who are accused of committing a crime. Their primary duty is to protect the rights and interests of their clients throughout the criminal justice process. This role involves a wide range of responsibilities and a deep understanding of criminal law, as well as a commitment to upholding the principles of justice and due process.

  • Legal Counsel: One of the fundamental roles of a criminal defense lawyer is to provide legal counsel to their clients. They offer advice and guidance on the legal aspects of the case, explaining the charges, potential consequences, and available defenses. This guidance helps clients make informed decisions about how to proceed with their case.
  • Investigation and Research: Criminal defense lawyers conduct thorough investigations to gather evidence that can support their client's defense. This includes reviewing police reports, interviewing witnesses, and examining any physical evidence. They may also consult with experts in various fields to build a strong defense strategy.
  • Developing Defense Strategies: Based on their research and analysis of the case, criminal defense lawyers develop defense strategies tailored to the specific circumstances. These strategies may involve challenging the legality of evidence, questioning witness credibility, or arguing that their client's actions were justified.
  • Negotiating Plea Bargains: In some cases, a criminal defense lawyer may negotiate with the prosecution to reach a plea bargain. This involves working out a mutually acceptable agreement that typically results in reduced charges or sentencing in exchange for the defendant's guilty plea. The lawyer's role is to ensure that any plea bargain is in the best interests of their client.
  • Representing Clients in Court: Criminal defense lawyers are responsible for representing their clients in court proceedings. This includes pre-trial hearings, trials, and, if necessary, appeals. They present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and argue legal points on behalf of their clients, striving to secure a favorable outcome.
  • Protecting Constitutional Rights: Criminal defense lawyers play a crucial role in safeguarding their clients' constitutional rights. They ensure that law enforcement officers have followed proper procedures during arrests, interrogations, and searches. If any rights have been violated, they may file motions to suppress evidence or have charges dismissed.
