Fighting to Get YOUR CASE DROPPED OR DISMISSED
The criminal justice system in Texas is in place to punish people who break the law. Unfortunately, people and situations are much more complex than the courts make them out to be. You may face a compelling case by the prosecution that could land you a hefty sentence, even if you did not commit the crime. Those guilty of certain crimes may have a lighter sentence.
If you are facing criminal accusations in Houston, including shoplifting, felony charge, assault, and immigration violations, the Law Office of David A. Breston is here to help.

Have You Been Arrested in Harris County? Contact Us Today at (713) 224-4040!
A Houston police officer may arrest you if he or she has probable cause or a judge has signed a warrant for your arrest. Contact your attorney as soon as possible once you hear about the warrant.
If law enforcement officers arrest you in Harris County, it is important to comply with their orders and remain calm. You can contact your attorney afterwards if you believe the arrest was unfair. If you suffer injuries during your arrest, take photographs of the injuries and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
During your arrest, remember, you have the right to remain silent. Do not answer any questions the officers ask you and do not volunteer information. These officers could use whatever you say against you in court.
Understand Your Rights & Legal Options After You’ve Been Arrested
When you are in custody of law enforcement, it is important to remember that prosecutors and police officers may use anything you say or do against you in court. As soon as you can, contact your attorney. Do not say anything to any police officer until your attorney arrives at the police station. Make sure your attorney is with you whenever an officer is questioning you, if you are in a lineup, or if you are having testing done.
If you are facing criminal charges, you may feel tempted to enter into your case without an attorney or to use the court-appointed attorney.
