  • What types of criminal cases do you handle?

    We handle a wide range of cases, including DUI, drug charges, theft, assault, and violent crimes. Whether it’s a misdemeanor or felony, our attorneys provide skilled representation tailored to the specific needs of each client. From building a defense to negotiating with prosecutors, we focus on achieving the best possible outcome for your situation.

  • What should I do if I’ve been arrested?

Contact us immediately so we can begin protecting your rights, ensuring the proper procedures are followed, and start building a defense strategy that aligns with your best interests.

  • Can I avoid jail time with your help?

    Avoiding jail time depends on the specific details of your case. Our attorneys strive to secure alternatives such as reduced charges, probation, or diversion programs. By analyzing the evidence, negotiating effectively, and advocating strongly, we aim to minimize penalties and achieve outcomes that allow you to move forward with your life.

  • What are the penalties for a DUI in Texas?

    DUI penalties in Texas vary depending on factors like prior offenses and blood alcohol content. Consequences can include fines, license suspension, mandatory classes, and jail time. Our attorneys will explore every avenue to mitigate these penalties, challenging evidence when appropriate and negotiating on your behalf to protect your driving privileges and record.

  • Can you represent me in court?

    Absolutely. Our attorneys have extensive courtroom experience and are prepared to represent you at every stage of your case. From pre-trial motions to trial advocacy, we ensure your rights are upheld. We’ll provide a clear understanding of the process so you feel confident and well-represented throughout your legal journey.

  • What if I’m innocent?

    If you’re innocent, we’ll work tirelessly to prove your case. Our approach includes challenging the prosecution’s evidence, presenting alibis, cross-examining witnesses, and showcasing any lack of probable cause. Our mission is to highlight weaknesses in the case against you and present compelling evidence to demonstrate your innocence.

  • How do I choose the right attorney?

    Choosing the right attorney is critical. Look for someone with local experience, a strong track record, and a commitment to personalized service. At Williams & Gipson Law, we bring all these qualities, ensuring that you receive trusted guidance and a defense strategy tailored to your unique situation.
