El Paso Texas Criminal Defense Attorney
Criminal defense is one of the main areas of law in which I practice. As a criminal defense attorney representing clients in the El Paso, Texas area, I’ve represented clients charged with Federal Crimes, Felonies, and Misdemeanors. Federal Crimes The main types of Federal crimes we have in El Paso, Texas, are welfare fraud, white collar crime, and drug charges. Welfare fraud involves government document tampering and carries serious punishment. White collar crimes include embezzlement, insider trading, money laundering, tax evasion, health care fraud, insurance fraud, mail fraud, mortgage loan fraud, securities fraud, stock fraud and wire fraud. In fraud cases, the clients sometimes place a high degree of emphasis on keeping their name out of the paper, or maintaining a clean record, or keeping their license to practice in a particular field. Crimes related to drug charges include border bridge cases in which an individual might be charged with conspiring to bring in an illegal alien, or smuggling cocaine or marijuana or other drugs across the border. In the case of illegal alien smuggling or drug violations, clients typically want to avoid jail time, or automobile seizures. As an El Paso, Texas, Criminal Defense Attorney, I have a significant amount of experience in crimes related to border crossings, welfare fraud and white collar crimes. Felonies Felony charges in the El Paso, Texas, area include a fair amount of felony charges related to drug offenses such as drug possession or distribution of cocaine or marijuana. In the case of multiple offenses, a felony DWI may be charged – especially if it is combined with a probation violation, failure to stop and render aid or vehicular manslaughter. I’ve represented individuals charged with serious sex crimes including sexual assault and rape. I won’t guarantee that we can get your felony case dismissed, but I can guarantee that we’ll be proactive in our approach and leave no stone unturned. Misdemeanors A DWI charge can be a misdemeanor if it is a first or second offense. A DWI charge presents two problems: one related to the criminal charge and one related to a license suspension from the Department of Public Safety. Other common misdemeanors include schoolyard zone drug sales or drug possession in a drug free zone, theft, shoplifting, leaving the scene of a crime and certain juvenile crimes. In misdemeanor cases, some clients want to get in and out of court quickly and are less concerned about fines and penalties, where as other clients are desperate to maintain a clean record. You can trust that I will work tirelessly to achieve your goals. I am ready, willing and able to go to work for you today. Call or contact me to schedule an appointment. Mark T.
