Misdemeanor Charges in Texas

Many people make the mistake of believing that a misdemeanor is not a serious offense because it is less severe than a felony. However, misdemeanor offenses can still carry heavy penalties, affect your current and future employment opportunities, and leave a mark on your criminal record. As a Fort Worth criminal defense attorney, I am dedicated to mitigating these consequences and securing outright dismissals for my clients.

I can defend all types of misdemeanor offenses, including:

• Possession of drugs/marijuana
• Assault on family members
• Resisting arrest
• DWI
• Assault with bodily injury
• Theft

Misdemeanors are typically categorized into three different classifications, based on the severity of the offense. The three categories of misdemeanors are Class A, Class B, and Class C. Depending on the nature of the offense you have been accused of, you could be facing time in jail, a large fine, and a permanent criminal record which can negatively affect your future.
