Real answers. Real talk. No judgment.
Let’s be honest — nobody expects to need a criminal defense lawyer. But when your phone rings and it’s the police… or you’re staring down a court date… suddenly Google becomes your best friend (until you land here, of course).
At Guest and Gray Law Firm, we’ve helped thousands of people in Kaufman County get through their worst days. We don’t judge. We don’t scare you. We just listen, make a plan, and fight to win.
Here are three of the most common questions we hear from good people in bad situations:
“The police called and want to speak with me… can I say no?”
Short answer? Yes. And in most cases, you absolutely should.
Look, if the police are calling you, it’s not because they miss you. They’re investigating something, and they hope you’ll help them build their case… against you.
You might think you’re just being helpful or clearing things up. But anything you say can be twisted, clipped, or taken out of context faster than a bad courtroom TV show.
We’re not here to make you paranoid. We’re here to protect you. We can call the detective, figure out what’s really going on, and shield you from saying the wrong thing.
Bottom line: If the cops want to talk, you want a lawyer.

“Will I look guilty if I hire a lawyer?”
Here’s the truth: hiring a lawyer doesn’t make you look guilty — it makes you look smart. It shows that you know your rights and you’re not going to be steamrolled.
Would you go into a championship boxing match without gloves? No. So don’t go into a courtroom without an advocate who knows how to throw a legal punch.
At Guest and Gray, we’ve been in the trenches — trials, hearings, dismissals, not guilty verdicts. We’re not here to judge you. We’re here to protect you like it’s our own name on the line.

“I’ve been arrested… should I just plead guilty and get it over with?”
Please. Take a breath. Then don’t do that.
Pleading guilty without a lawyer is like playing poker blindfolded — except the house gets to stack the deck, deal your cards, and keep your chips.

We get it. You’re overwhelmed, embarrassed, and probably angry. But we’ve seen too many people throw away second chances by acting too fast.
Let’s hit pause. Let’s review the evidence. Let’s see if this thing can be beat — or at least reduced. Because once you plead guilty, that decision sticks around longer than your last bad haircut.
You have options. Let us walk you through them here.
