Tenacious Criminal Defense Driven by Former Prosecutorial Experience

When you are accused of a crime in Texas, your freedom, criminal record, and personal reputation are all on the line. At The Goolsby Law Firm, clients gain the formidable advantage of being represented by Mike Goolsby, a veteran defense lawyer who served as an Assistant District Attorney and Chief Prosecutor for Dallas County from 1994 to 1999. Having tried hundreds of misdemeanor and felony trials from both sides of the courtroom, Mike Goolsby possesses profound knowledge of how the State builds its cases, evaluates evidence, and negotiates plea agreements.

Individuals looking to hire a criminal defense lawyer can rely on personal, accessible representation without being handed off to inexperienced support staff.
