Legal Help With Criminal Matters in Texas

Criminal charges can range in severity depending on the laws that a person is accused of breaking and how any alleged victims were affected. Less serious offenses will often involve misdemeanor charges, and in these cases, a conviction may result in fines of a few thousand dollars and a jail sentence of up to one year. More serious crimes may involve felony charges, and a conviction can result in a jail sentence of more than one year and $10,000 or more in fines. Determining the appropriate defense strategy will depend on the specific charges, and we can help alleged offenders understand whether certain types of charges may be dismissed or reduced.

We provide representation for defendants who have been charged with multiple types of offenses, including:

• Drug crimes - Cases related to controlled substances will often lead to felony charges, especially for "hard drugs" such as heroin, methamphetamines, or cocaine. A person may be charged with drug possession based on substances found by police officers during a search of their person, home, or vehicle. Cases involving large amounts of controlled substances may lead to more serious charges of drug distribution or manufacturing.
• Probation issues – If you have been put on probation as the result of a prior criminal charge, it is important to abide by the terms of your probation order. Failure to do so could land you in jail and incur hefty additional fines. We help those accused of probation violations, as well as those with concerns regarding their probation orders.
• Record sealing and expunction – At The Bihm Firm, PLLC, we believe that people deserve second chances. Depending on the situation, we may be able to help you clear your record of past arrests through expunction or seal records of a conviction so that you can have the future you deserve.
