What to Do Next and How a Criminal Defense Attorney Can Help
Being arrested for the first time is overwhelming. If you or a loved one has been arrested in Frisco, Collin County, Denton County, or anywhere in North Texas, you may be scared, confused, and unsure of what happens next, or how this will affect your future.
Speaking with a criminal defense attorney in Frisco as early as possible can make a critical difference in how your case is handled and how much damage is done to your record.
You want someone making sure your rights are protected and that you have someone fighting to make sure your case is disposed of in a way that will do the least amount of damage to your record. We always make sure to consider the possibility of an expunction before we suggest what the best course of action is given your present situation.
Call us from jail or have your family or friend reach out to us and we’ll make sure to fight for you and keep you updated from Day 1. From getting bond posted, getting released from jail, appearing with you at your first court date, reviewing the facts, and negotiating the best deal for you, we know the process through and through and can fight for you every step of the way.
Arrested for the First Time? What Does That Mean in Texas?

A first arrest does not automatically mean a conviction. In Texas, many first-time offenders may qualify for outcomes that reduce or even eliminate long-term consequences, but only if the case is handled correctly from the start.
Your early decisions matter:
What you say
When bond is posted
How the case is negotiated
Whether expunction or record clearing is possible later
This is why having an attorney involved immediately is so important.
Why You Should Call a Criminal Defense Attorney Immediately After an Arrest
After an arrest, law enforcement and prosecutors are already building their case. You need someone focused entirely on protecting your rights and your future.

A Frisco criminal defense attorney can:
Speak to authorities on your behalf
Help secure bond and release from jail
Advise you on what not to say
Review police reports and evidence early
Begin negotiations immediately
The earlier an attorney is involved, the more leverage you may have.
Getting Released From Jail: Bond & First Court Appearance
If you’ve been arrested for the first time, the initial steps often include:
1. Posting Bond
An attorney can help you understand your bond options and work to get you released as quickly as possible.
2. First Court Date (Arraignment)
We appear with you, explain what’s happening, and make sure your rights are protected from Day 1.
3. Case Review
We analyze the facts, police reports, and evidence to determine the strongest defense strategy.
Protecting Your Criminal Record - Expunction & First-Time Offender Options
One of the most important things we consider in first-time arrest cases is your long-term record.
Whenever possible, we evaluate:
Eligibility for dismissal
Deferred outcomes
Expunction or record clearing options
Minimizing permanent damage to your criminal history
We do not rush clients into deals that may harm them later. Every recommendation is made with your future in mind.
We Handle the Process From Start to Finish
If you or a loved one is arrested, we can step in immediately and handle the process end-to-end:
Jail and bond assistance
