Texas is a difficult state to be facing a criminal allegation in. The legislature in Austin has created laws that make the punishments for even misdemeanor offenses very serious, including jail time for up to 6 months for even minor accusations. Nobody ever wants to find themselves on the wrong side of the law, but there are ways to fight charges in Texas.

The 6th amendment to the United States Constitution ensures that everyone accused of a crime has a right to an attorney to assist and advise them. This, among numerous others, is what makes America different from many other countries around the world. In addition, ever person accused of a crime is presumed to be innocent.

A criminal case usually (but not always) starts with a person being arrested by the police. Following arrest, a person is entitled to a hearing to determine the amount of bond that person will be required to put forth in order to secure court appearances.

Bond is basically an amount of money held in escrow while a criminal case is pending to make sure that the person accused of the crime appears in court. Once bond is posted the person accused of a crime is released from jail. Conditions of bail are commonly attached, such as requiring an ignition interlock device on a vehicle driven by a person accused of DWI. Out of county travel restrictions are also commonly applied to citizens accused of crimes.

For more than 30 years, the firm of Gunter, Bennett and Anthes has had one mission: providing outstanding criminal defense to those who have entrusted us with their representation. Advocating for people accused of committing a crime is our passion – we do not practice in any other area of the law.

• Drunk Driving Offenses
  Even though being arrested or charged with DWI or DUI is a common occurrence these days it is still a serious offense that carries serious ramifications if you are convicted. It is important that you hire a DWI or DUI defense attorney who has experience fighting these cases in a jury trial.
• Drug Crimes
  The lawyers at Gunter and Bennett handle the smallest of drug charges such as possession of marijuana to serious felony drug cases like possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. Based in Austin, we are familiar with the each prosecutor’s office in the Central Texas area including Travis, Williamson and Harris counties.
• Crimes of Violence
  Assaultive offenses generally include assault, battery, domestic (or family) violence, aggravated assault, and homicide. If you are charged or arrested for one of these crimes you need to consult with a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
• Property Crimes
  If you are arrested or charged with an offense involving a misdemeanor or felony theft of property it is important to speak with a criminal defense attorney who knows the intricacies or property crimes.

Some law firms tout the many attorneys they employ or have employed. We take a personal approach to each case. We believe personalized attention to each case is essential to the positive outcome.

In Austin, Texas (Travis County) the police take the approach: when in doubt arrest someone and the courts will sort it out. This means if you get stopped and have alcohol on your breath, there is a good chance you are going to jail for DWI even if you’re not intoxicated.

We take the presumption of innocence to heart and truly presume our clients are innocent. In a system where Judges, prosecutors, law enforcement, and court staff rely so much on what the police state happened on their arrest paperwork, we know from experience how one-sided that paperwork can be.

We have seen it all, from flat out lies in paperwork, to what is more common (the omission of crucial facts which would support the innocence of the charge). We see this happen daily and this is why you need someone who will actually fight for you and not just say they will.

Austin Texas assault cases are filed at the Travis County Courthouse. Like many cities, there are so many of these type of cases that there is a special court to handle assault family violence cases. Otherwise known as domestic violence charges.

Many people are not guilty of these charges but get accused and have to go through the court process. Don’t get stuck going to court with an inexperienced or careless lawyer. You risk being convicted of a serious crime. Many people are not guilty of these charges but get accused and have to go through the court process.

Assault can be charged in different circumstances. It is not necessarily a domestic violence charge. Many of the same factors may be present. A person is over reactive or exaggerates to the police. Also a person who perceives a threat may just be defending themselves. The differing circumstances need to be discussed over the phone or in person at our office to examine the elements.

Criminal law is the US government’s agreed upon rules and consequences for society, which have been created with the goal of punishing those who have been convicted of violating laws. Criminal penalties also deter other people from committing the same offenses as the accused.

The criminal punishments associated with defying criminal laws can be quite stark and may include anything from fines and court courts to probation to life in prison. One of the most commonly charged and also most personally damaging criminal accusations in Texas continues to be driving under the Influence (DUI).

If you have been accused of DUI in Austin, TX or any of the surrounding areas, you must immediately discuss your case with an experienced DUI lawyer. When you are being prosecuted for DUI in Texas, having retained a DUI defense attorney as soon as you possibly could paints a picture for the prosecuting attorneys.

It shows their prosecution team that you are taking the DUI charge against you entirely seriously, that you and your attorney will fight hard against conviction, and that this is one DUI case that will not be easy for them to win. It is important to note that the consumption of alcohol is not required in order to be charged with DUI. Driving under the influence of any substance is illegal.
