Lawyers for DWI Defense

Texas does not take DWI lightly, even for a first offense. Aside from risking jail time, you will probably have your license suspended. For a repeat DWI, the penalties only get harsher. We adapt our DWI defense strategies to the facts of your case. Whether that means challenging the probable cause for your arrest or questioning the validity of a field sobriety test, we will find the strongest possible defense and use it.

Attorneys for Violent Crimes in Gainesville

Even a normally nonviolent person can find themselves charged with assault or domestic violence under the wrong set of circumstances. Even before you see a judge, a restraining order could bar you from your home and force you to surrender your weapons. Your side of the story matters to us. For those accused of more serious violent crimes, like aggravated assault, manslaughter, or even murder, our attorneys will go to trial if that is the best course of action for you.

Legal Help With Drug Charges

From paraphernalia and simple possession to distribution and federal charges, our legal team knows the ins and outs of defending those accused of narcotics violations. Even being caught with a small amount of cannabis can make it hard to find housing or employment. Texas is harsh on drug crime, but our attorneys are skilled at combating these charges. In some cases, pretrial diversion could provide a path to a clean record.

Sex Crimes Defense Attorneys

Simply being accused of a sex crime can make it seem like the whole world has turned against you. Date rape and other sexual assault accusations do not always paint a complete picture of what happened. If your alleged crime involved minors, the road ahead will be rough, but Magaña & Van Dyke does not back down. A conviction for child pornography, soliciting a minor, indecency with a minor, or an inappropriate relationship with a student can be life-altering. We will defend your rights no matter what you are accused of.

Representation for White-Collar Defendants

Forgery, fraud, and some types of theft are increasingly landing professionals in court. Our firm is skilled at conducting forensic investigations in an effort to clear your name whenever possible.

Misdemeanor and Probation Representation

Misdemeanor charges like resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and public intoxication can take Texans by surprise. We take care with these cases to prevent these allegations from disrupting your life. Our firm also represents those facing potentially very harsh results for alleged probation violations.
