The Woodlands Criminal Defense Attorneys

Many criminal charges can lead to:

• Potential jail or prison time 
• Heavy fines 
• Lengthy probation periods 
• Other court-ordered penalties

A criminal conviction will leave you with a permanent stain on your record that can create difficulties in the future, such as in finding employment or housing, qualifying for financial aid or professional licenses, or leading to immigration problems for noncitizens. You must fight back and fight hard to preserve your reputation, your freedom, and your future.

Hiring an experienced criminal defense lawyer to protect your rights and freedom can have a dramatic impact on the outcome of your case. That is why it is vital to seek a defender who has a proven track record of success, such as our The Woodlands criminal defense lawyer at Morgan Bourque Attorney at Law.

What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?

What is a defense attorney? And how can they help in a criminal case? Do I really need to hire one? 

These are some of the most common questions we hear at our law firm. While the hallmark of the American justice system is that we are all innocent until proven guilty, the prosecutor tends to have the advantage when it actually comes to trying a criminal case. 

A criminal defense attorney aims to put that advantage back on your side and fight in your best interests. When you choose our firm, we will work to:

• Protect your constitutional rights during trial
• Bring to light any civil rights violations made by law enforcement
• Fight against any efforts by the prosecution to make an example out of you
• Work to minimize the impact of a criminal charge

These goals are achievable through investigation, advocacy, and negotiation. This will likely involve looking into the details of your arrest, your questioning by the police, and the prosecutor’s case against you. It is often possible to get charges dropped or dismissed. But if it isn’t, it may be possible to negotiate a plea deal to obtain a lighter penalty. Our team knows how to poke holes in a criminal case to effectively defend against various charges. 

Remember, a criminal charge is not the same as conviction. Don’t give up; let us fight for your rights and your future.
