Criminal Defense
Representation in North Texas
Facing criminal charges can be overwhelming, especially if it is your first interaction with the justice system. Criminal cases move quickly, and early decisions can have long-term consequences on your record, employment, and personal life.
At The Angarita Law Firm in Frisco, we represent individuals facing criminal charges in municipal and county courts throughout Frisco and surrounding North Texas areas. Our approach is focused on understanding the facts, protecting your rights, and working toward the best possible resolution under the circumstances.
Misdemeanor Criminal Defense in County Courts
We represent individuals facing charges in municipal court, justice of the peace courts, county courts at law, and district courts throughout the North Texas regions. If you have been charged with a misdemeanor offense in local county courts, we can help. These cases may carry serious consequences, including fines, probation, and permanent criminal records if not handled properly.
Common Misdemeanor Charges We Handle:
-
Assault causing bodily injury
-
Possession of marijuana
-
Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)
-
Theft charges
-
Criminal trespass
Each case is evaluated individually to determine whether dismissal, reduction, deferred options, or alternative resolutions may be available.
Class C Criminal Violations
Class C violations are often handled in municipal courts but should not be ignored. These cases can still result in fines, warrants, and record implications if not addressed properly.
Class C Matters We Handle:
-
Speeding and traffic violations
-
Public Intoxication
-
Assault
-
Disorderly Conduct
-
Indecent Exposure
-
Displaying a Firearm
-
Minor in Possession
-
Possession of Paraphernalia
In many situations, legal representation can help reduce penalties, avoid warrants, or prevent unnecessary complications.
Clearing or Sealing Criminal Records
A past arrest or charge does not always need to follow you for life. In certain cases, individuals may qualify for expunction or nondisclosure, allowing criminal history to be removed from public view or sealed.
We can:
-
Review your criminal history
-
Determine eligibility
-
Handle the legal process to remove or seal records when possible
This is often a critical step for clients seeking employment, housing, acceptance at college, acceptance for grad school, or professional licensing.
Helping You Stay on the Road
If your driver’s license has been suspended, you may still be eligible for an occupational driver’s license that allows limited driving for work, school, or essential needs.
We assist clients with:
-
Determining eligibility
-
Filing the necessary requests
-
Navigating court requirements
-
Complying with The Texas Department of Public Safety
Representation During Criminal Investigations
Not all criminal matters begin with an arrest. In some cases, individuals become involved during an investigation.
Early legal guidance can:
-
Protect your rights during questioning
-
Help avoid unnecessary charges
-
Ensure proper communication with authorities
Our Approach to Winning Criminal Cases
No two criminal cases are the same. We take the time to understand your goals, your story, and your financial situation before recommending a path forward.
We prioritize clear communication, realistic expectations, and strategies that make sense for your specific circumstances.
