A criminal attorney can help if you have been charged with a crime. Very often people are charged with a small crime like a DUI, drug possession or minor assault charge and make the mistake of trying to represent themselves.

If you have been charged with a crime of any size, call Larry B. Douglas Attorney at Law at 281-820-8300 to schedule a consultation.
Getting arrested can be a frightening experience. We make visits to the jail and can meet with you there and help you to get out on bail. Once you are released, Larry B. Douglas Attorney at Law can go over your case and discuss a strategy for how to get the charges dropped or reduced along with how to prove your innocence. Per the United States constitution, you are innocent until proven guilty but whether or not the judge or jury finds you to be innocent is often based on how strong your legal defense is. As an experienced criminal attorney, we have encountered cases where innocent people were convicted simply because the evidence that could prove their innocence was not presented properly or allowed into the trial. This is why you should never try to represent yourself. One small mistake can negatively influence where you spend the next several years or the rest of your life.
During your initial consultation, Larry B. Douglas Attorney at Law will ask you a variety of questions in order to learn everything we can about the case. It is important that you share what happened leading up to the arrest, where you were when the incident took place, any witnesses that can confirm your whereabouts, and anyone that you think may be responsible for the crime. The more information we have, the better equipped we will be to build your defense. Don’t leave anything out because the smallest detail may serve to prove your case.
After our initial discussion, we will start to interview witnesses and collect evidence that can confirm your story. It is important that everything is presented in a way that is clear and concise and that witnesses are prepared to testify. Their performance and ability to answer questions will determine how credible the judge and jury find them to be. This makes it important to have every witness prepared and as a criminal attorney we take the time to do so.
