If you or a loved one are facing criminal charges in Houston, selecting the right criminal defense is of paramount importance. Tad Nelson, an experienced Houston DWI & Criminal Defense lawyer, provides a number of benefits and services to our clients.

Today, we’ll outline the various benefits we provide to our clients which illustrates what to look for when hiring a criminal defense attorney.

Understanding of the Legal System

As experienced Houston criminal defense lawyers, we’ve spent years learning the intricacies of the legal system in Harris County, Galveston County, and other surrounding counties.

By understanding the nuances of legal procedure in all of our local jurisdictions, we can improve your experience during your dealings with the criminal justice system and ultimately the outcome of your case.

Mr. Nelson provides legal representation in Harris, Galveston, Brazoria, Liberty, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Waller, and San Jacinto Counties. If you have a criminal case on the docket in one of these Greater Houston area counties, we can help you.

Protection of Your Rights

One of the primary roles of a defense lawyer is to ensure that your rights, as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, are protected throughout the criminal process.

From ensuring proper procedures during your arrest to challenging any evidence that may have been improperly obtained, a good defense lawyer should be a strong advocate for your rights.

At our law firm, the first thing we do on a case is to review the police reports, bodycam footage, dash cams, and audio recordings to ensure that your rights were not violated. If we find any inconsistencies with law enforcement in respect to your rights, it may be grounds to have your criminal charges dismissed.

If you think your rights were violated during your arrest or traffic stop, contact the Law Offices of Tad Nelson & Associates today and meet with one of our attorneys immediately. We can be reached in Houston at 281-502-2122.

Negotiation Skills

Plea bargains are a common outcome in many criminal cases in Harris County. An effective defense attorney should have strong negotiation skills and strategies to help their clients. This will help immensely by enabling them to potentially reduce charges or sentencing through plea deals.

When the situation calls for it, we take pride in negotiating excellent plea deals for our clients. It most instances, we get our clients’ cases dismissed during pre-trial. However, if it makes sense, we’ll take a look at all of our options.

Case Evaluations

Every person is different as every criminal case is unique.

An experienced defense attorney should give you a realistic assessment of your situation, potential defenses, and the likely outcomes based on how you choose to proceed.

At our law firm, our goal is to help you understand the potential consequences you face, and to develop a robust strategy to defend you against the charges.

We provide 100% free case evaluations and initial consultations. When you meet with Attorney Tad Nelson or Attorney Amber Spurlock, we’ll give you an idea of what you’re up against and insight into how we can help.

Local Connections

As criminal defense lawyers based in Houston, we’re familiar with local courts, prosecutors, and law enforcement. We know the personalities and preferences of district judges and prosecutors. A lot of times, these relationships are helpful for our defense strategy, negotiating plea arrangements, and pre-trial case dismissals.

Support and Guidance

The process of going back and forth to court for criminal charges can be stressful. As client-centered defense attorneys, we’ll be sure to guide you through the process and explain what you should expect at every step of the legal process. We’ll also provide emotional support to go along with our legal advice.
