Jourdanton, Texas Felony Defense Attorneys

Lawyers for Serious Criminal Charges in Atascosa County and Wilson County

Felony charges are the most serious criminal allegations an individual can face in Texas. A felony conviction can bring thousands of dollars in fines, a substantial term of incarceration, and execution for those found guilty of murder. 

If you have been arrested on felony charges, it is imperative that you secure skilled legal representation immediately. With your future and freedom at stake, this decision is one of the most important you will ever make. At BRCK Criminal Defense Attorneys, our lawyers include criminal law judges and former prosecutors. That level of experience is invaluable in both the investigation of the validity of the charges you face and in any subsequent negotiations with prosecutors to seek reduced charges.
