"Alex stepped in and changed everything"
I first hired Alex in 2017 to help my little brother with an aggravated robbery case. His court-appointed attorney wasn’t providing enough support, but Alex stepped in and changed everything. Thanks to Alex’s dedication, the case went to trial, and my brother received 8 years probation. In 2021, I needed Alex’s help again for my own case. From March 2021 to January 2024, Alex fought tirelessly, ultimately achieving a “Not Guilty” verdict. He went above and beyond, investigating every detail and standing by my side through it all. Even when the DA filed two additional cases, Alex’s hard work got them dismissed. His dedication gave me a new perspective on life.Alex isn’t just an attorney he’s like family to us. If you need a lawyer who truly cares and fights for you, I highly recommend Alex. He will always be my first choice. Thank you, Alex, for your unwavering support and determination.- Real S. -

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it typically take to resolve a criminal case in Pearland, TX?
The timeline for resolving a criminal case depends on several factors, such as the complexity of the charges, the amount of evidence, and whether the case goes to trial. While some cases may be resolved in weeks through plea agreements, others can take months or longer if they proceed to trial.
What should I expect during court appearances in a criminal case?
Court appearances usually include arraignments, pre-trial hearings, and potentially a trial. At every stage, we’ll thoroughly prepare you for what to expect, including what will be discussed and how to present yourself.
Can previous convictions impact my current case?
Yes, prior convictions can play a significant role, potentially affecting sentencing or how the prosecution approaches your case. However, there may be ways to challenge the relevance of your past record.
Are alternative sentencing options available in Pearland criminal cases?
Depending on your charges and circumstances, alternative sentencing options such as diversion programs, probation, or community service may be available. We’ll explore all possibilities and advocate for solutions that have the least impact on your future.
What is the difference between a plea agreement and going to trial?
A plea agreement involves negotiating with the prosecution to reduce charges or penalties without going to trial. This option offers certainty but often involves admitting guilt to some extent. On the other hand, going to trial allows for a full defense but comes with the risk of harsher penalties if convicted.
