We’ve Got You Covered In Dallas
From Dallas County to Kaufman County to Rockwall County and beyond, we handle cases involving a wide range of criminal charges.
Because our practice covers so many different types of offenses, we are able to help whether your case starts in a municipal court, a Dallas County criminal court, or a nearby district court. We regularly review police reports, video evidence, and charging documents to identify weaknesses in the state’s case and to look for opportunities to reduce or dismiss charges. No matter which county your case is filed in, we focus on the local procedures and unwritten rules that can affect how quickly a case moves and which options may be on the table.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence cases are uniquely challenging for defendants, often involving emotionally charged accusations. These cases can affect your personal life, reputation, and future well beyond the courtroom. The allegations can involve misunderstandings, exaggerated claims, or even false accusations, which is why a thorough, strategic approach to your defense is vital.
In Dallas County and surrounding areas, a family violence allegation can immediately affect where you can live, who you can see, and whether you can possess firearms. We help clients understand no-contact orders, protective orders, and the impact a family-violence finding can have on future charges or family law matters. By gathering text messages, social media records, witness statements, and any available recordings, we work to present the full context of what actually happened rather than letting a one-sided account control the narrative.
Drug Crimes
Drug crime charges, whether for possession, distribution, or manufacturing, carry serious penalties. From lengthy prison sentences to substantial fines, the stakes are high. Our team knows how to challenge improper procedures, unlawful searches, and other issues that may arise. Whether you are dealing with a minor possession charge or a more serious felony allegation, we are here to help.
What To Do After An Arrest In Dallas
The hours and days after an arrest in Dallas can feel chaotic, but the steps you take can affect both your case and your everyday life. You may be dealing with release from the Dallas County jail, arranging bond, and trying to understand what the paperwork you received actually means. Knowing the general sequence of events can help you feel more in control and better prepared for what comes next.
After an arrest, most people will have an initial appearance or arraignment, during which the charges are read, and their basic rights are explained. Future settings in the Frank Crowley Courts Building or other local courthouses are typically used to exchange evidence, discuss plea offers, and set trial dates or hearings. During this period, it is important to save any documents you receive, avoid discussing the details of the case on social media, and write down any information you remember about the arrest while it is still fresh.
When you have a criminal case pending, you also need to think about how bond conditions and protective orders affect your day-to-day routine. That might include restrictions on travel, contact with certain people, alcohol use, or firearm possession. By talking with a criminal defense attorney in Dallas early on, you can get guidance about which conditions must be followed, when it may be possible to request changes, and how to avoid new violations while your main case is still being resolved.
A Defense That Never Rests
When you work with Farmer Law Group, you get 24/7 access to your lawyer. We pride ourselves on availability and accessibility. When prosecutors are bearing down, you deserve a criminal defense lawyer who is laser-focused on your case. We have served the people of Dallas and the DFW Metroplex Area since 2007, and our bilingual team works with both English and Spanish-speaking clients.
Because criminal cases do not always move on a nine-to-five schedule, we make it a priority to return calls and messages quickly when new developments arise. That availability can be critical if you or a loved one is taken into custody, a warrant is issued, or law enforcement wants to conduct an interview. By being reachable, we can respond to emergencies, help coordinate bond arrangements, and give you clear guidance about what to say and what not to say while your case is unfolding.
We also understand that many clients in Dallas juggle work, family obligations, and transportation challenges. Our willingness to meet virtually and to communicate in both English and Spanish gives people more flexibility in how they stay informed about their cases. Whether we are preparing you for a court appearance, reviewing a proposed plea offer, or planning for trial, our focus is on making sure you have the information and support you need to make the choices that are right for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Do If I Am Contacted By A Detective In Dallas?
If a detective wants to speak with you about a case, it is usually wise to talk with a lawyer before agreeing to an interview. Anything you say, even if you are trying to clear up a misunderstanding, can later be used in a criminal case. A lawyer who knows the Dallas County system can discuss whether it makes sense to give a statement, how to respond to calls from law enforcement, and what your rights are if officers want to search your home, car, or phone.
Will I Have To Go To Court For Every Setting On My Case?
Whether you must appear at every court date depends on the type of case, the judge, and the specific court rules. Some courts in the Dallas area require defendants to attend all settings, while others allow a lawyer to appear on your behalf for routine announcements. You should never skip a court date without talking to your attorney first, because a missed appearance can lead to a warrant or changes to your bond conditions.
How Long Does A Criminal Case Usually Take In Dallas County?
Criminal cases in Dallas County can move quickly at the beginning and then slow down as evidence is exchanged and negotiations take place. Some misdemeanor cases may resolve in a few months, while felony cases can take much longer, especially if there are complex legal issues or a trial is requested. Factors like the court’s docket, the amount of discovery, and whether professionals are involved all affect timing, so it is important to stay in close contact with your lawyer about the status of your case.
