Wise County Criminal Defense Attorney

Texas Lawyer for Felonies and Misdemeanors

Arrests can happen very unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye. One moment, you may be having a perfectly normal day, and the next, you may be behind bars. Unfortunately, Texas is known for being quite harsh on convicted criminals. Our goal is to help you avoid a criminal conviction. Even if you are certain that the case against you is airtight, there are steps we may be able to take to defend your rights and freedom while minimizing the impact of your charge.

Soraya Joslin, P.C. is skilled in the art of criminal defense. We never simply believe police reports - we always conduct our own independent investigation to turn up any evidence that could be used to help you. We represent those who have been accused of a wide variety of offenses, from drug possession to murder.

DWI Lawyer Serving Wise County

While driving while intoxicated is among the most commonly charged criminal offense, that does not mean the results of this type of charge will not be harsh. Many people are stripped of their driver's licenses, even if they are never convicted. It is also important to know that while a first DWI is a misdemeanor in most cases, a third DWI is almost always a felony. We may be able to use a number of defense strategies depending on the circumstances of your case, such as attacking the credibility of your field sobriety test results.

Defense Attorney for Violent Crimes

Violent crimes are always serious, even if they are charged as misdemeanors. Common types of violent crime cases we handle include:

• Simple assault
• Domestic violence and family violence
• Aggravated assault, such as assaults involving a deadly weapon
• Manslaughter
• Murder

Each of these offenses can carry jail time, ranging from a few months to decades, or even life in prison. We understand that many of these arrests are not the result of a sudden, violent attack, but they may instead occur following a personal dispute that turned physical. False accusations are common, especially in domestic violence cases.

If you have been charged with a violent offense, it is important to take your defense very seriously and contact an attorney promptly. We will begin our own investigation as soon as possible.

Drug Crimes Lawyer in Northern Texas

Although drugs are ubiquitous in our society, the state of Texas treats drug offenses harshly. Even a simple possession charge can interfere with your plans for the future, while a possession with intent to sell charge could leave you in prison for years. Many who face these charges are not hardened drug dealers, but users struggling with addiction. Getting you help may be an important goal, just as defending your case is.

Wise County Sex Crime Defense Attorney

No other category of crime is stigmatized quite like sex offenses. For those convicted of sex crimes, the judicial sentencing is often only the beginning of the consequences. Our attorneys have experience defending those facing accusations of sexually-oriented crimes. We take these defenses extremely seriously, because we understand just how much is at stake. If you have been accused of a sex crime such as public lewdness, indecency, or more serious offenses such as sexual assault or indecency with a child, it is important to contact us quickly so we can begin preparing your defense.

Weapons Charges Defense Attorney

While gun culture in Texas is strong, it may not protect you from charges of unlawfully carrying a weapon. Entering a no-carry zone such as a bar or church could be considered a crime, as could carrying a concealed firearm without a permit. Our attorneys will design the strongest defense possible in these cases.
