Legal Help with Criminal Matters in Houston and Harris County

Regardless of whether you are facing misdemeanor or felony charges, Bennett & Bennett can provide the representation you need from the beginning to the end of your case. We can help you determine the best steps to take to defend against charges related to:

• Violent crimes - Offenses involving violence against others are taken very seriously by law enforcement. If you have been accused of intentionally harming someone else, you could be looking at a prison sentence and other penalties. Cases involving accusations of aggravated assault, robbery, or homicide can be especially serious, since they may involve serious bodily injuries or the use of a deadly weapon. Allegations of domestic violence can also result in serious consequences, including orders of protection that may affect your ability to return to your home, communicate with your family members, or maintain custody of your children.
• Sex crimes - Offenses involving sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual conduct can lead to serious penalties, and these accusations can also cause damage to your reputation and relationships with others. We can help defend against accusations of sexual assault, and we can determine the best steps to take in cases related to prostitution. We can also address alleged crimes against children, including cases involving child pornography, online solicitation of minors, and inappropriate educator/student relationships.
• Property crimes - If you are accused of damaging someone else's property, taking someone else's property without their consent, or committing fraud, you may face charges such as theft, burglary, trespassing, or criminal mischief. We can help defend against allegations related to shoplifting, embezzlement, and other offenses related to the theft or misappropriation of money or property.
• Drug crimes - If you have been charged with an offense related to controlled substances, we can provide the experienced representation you need. We can defend against allegations of possession, manufacturing, or distribution of drugs such as marijuana, heroin, cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamines, or prescription opioids.

In addition to defending against criminal charges at the state level, we provide representation in cases involving federal crimes. We can assist with professional license defense for those who have been charged or convicted of crimes that may affect their ability to practice their profession. We can also provide assistance with post-conviction issues, including pursuing appeals and applying for writs of habeas corpus. Regardless of the complexity of your case or the severity of the charges against you, we can help you determine your best options for defense.
