Comprehensive Criminal Defense Practice Areas

Facing criminal prosecution in Texas can result in life-altering consequences, including prison time, mandatory driver's license suspensions, and permanent criminal records. Dunham & Jones delivers strategic trial advocacy across diverse criminal allegations.

DWI, DUI and Boating While Intoxicated (BWI)

An arrest for driving while intoxicated triggers both criminal penalties and an administrative suspension of your driver's license. Under Texas law, motorists have only 15 days from the date of arrest to request an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing. As experienced dui/dwi defense lawyers, the firm challenges the reasonable suspicion behind the traffic stop, officer compliance during field sobriety tests, and the maintenance calibration of breathalyzer machines, fighting aggressively to protect your driving privileges and secure a dismissal.

Drug Offenses and Controlled Substances

Texas strictly prosecutes narcotics violations ranging from possession of controlled substances and prescription medications to large-scale manufacturing and distribution. Working as skilled drug crime defense lawyers, the attorneys dissect police conduct under the Fourth Amendment, moving to suppress evidence gathered through warrantless searches, illegal canine sniffs, or flawed vehicle searches.

Assault, Domestic Violence and Protection Orders

Arguments between family members or dating partners can escalate quickly into formal criminal charges. As dedicated domestic violence lawyers and violent crime defense lawyers, Dunham & Jones intervenes rapidly to present exculpatory evidence, contest restraining orders, and demonstrate self-defense or false accusations, aiming to avoid convictions that trigger mandatory firearm restrictions.

Theft, Burglary and Property Crimes

A conviction for shoplifting, grand theft, credit card abuse, or burglary can permanently impair employment opportunities. Clients looking to hire an attorney benefit from early intervention strategies that frequently resolve charges through pretrial diversion, restitution agreements, or charge dismissals before indictment.

Traffic Violations and Misdemeanor Offenses

In addition to serious felonies, the practice represents drivers facing moving violations. Acting as proactive traffic ticket lawyers, the firm helps clients preserve a clean driving record and avoid costly state surcharges.
