Facing Felony Charges? You Need the Largest Firm in Forney.

A felony indictment in Forney is life-altering. From state-jail felonies to first-degree offenses carrying life sentences, the Kaufman County District Attorney’s office plays for keeps. In these high-stakes cases, you cannot afford a “bargain” lawyer. You need a firm with the resources, the investigators, and the local reputation to go to trial and win.

Our Felony Defense Strategy:

  • Grand Jury Presentations: We often represent clients before they are formally indicted, presenting evidence to the Grand Jury in an attempt to get the case “No Billed” (dismissed).
  • Deep Investigation: We employ our own investigators to interview witnesses and gather evidence that the police might have ignored.
  • Trial Ready: While many lawyers are afraid of the courtroom, we thrive in it. Our reputation for taking cases to trial gives us leverage in every negotiation.

Whether it’s theft, aggravated assault, or drug distribution, our Forney felony defense attorneys have the experience you need.
