The Law Office of David A. Breston, Criminal Defense Attorney is committed to helping those who have been arrested defend their legal rights in the state of Texas.
• DUI/DWI
  DWI charges. Although you may have been arrested for driving while intoxicated, it does not necessarily mean you will receive a criminal charge. We can help develop a compelling case to prevent any lasting charges or convictions from appearing on your record.
• Traffic Violations
  Observation. A police officer will pull you over if he notices that you are driving erratically — swerving, speeding, failing to stop, or even driving too slowly. Of course, you may have a good explanation for your driving (tiredness, for example), but an officer is unlikely to buy your story if he smells alcohol on your breath or notices slurred words or unsteady movements.
• Sex Crimes
  Sex crimes. Because sex crimes are so serious, the state of Texas imposes harsh penalties to those charged with such crimes. Additionally, the social impact of being charged with a sex crime can be profound. If you have been arrested for a sex crime, we can help defend your case, fighting to get your charges dismissed or dropped so that your life is not permanently ruined.
• Fraud
  In other areas of criminal law, the federal government has exclusive power to regulate, enforce, and prosecute alleged crimes. These matters often involve interstate commerce, national security, and federal programs. This is why most alleged white-collar crimes, such as credit card fraud, tax evasion, and welfare fraud, are prosecuted in federal courts.
• Robbery
  State criminal laws generally cover any area of criminal law not exclusively reserved by the federal government. This means that most crimes in Texas against a person or property are state crimes, including homicide, sex crimes, robbery, burglary, and domestic violence.
• Burglary
• White Collar Crimes
• Misdemeanors
  Misdemeanors are often handled within the state and are not a federal crime. A crime is considered a misdemeanor if the maximum possible sentence is a year in the county jail or less. Misdemeanor crimes in Texas are less serious than felonies, but misdemeanor offenses can still be serious matters. Still, all misdemeanor charges can show up on a background check. And, when someone is confronted by misdemeanor crimes, the end results are quite often negative.
• Drug Crimes
  Drug crimes. Texas has very strict drug possession laws. Even possession of a single illegal substance may leave you with a felony charge that can permanently impact your life. Our drug crime attorneys can assist with defending your case, presenting an argument to reduce or dismiss any drug charges you are facing.
• Assault
  Assault cases. Because the state of Texas treats assault and battery as one offense, there is a thin line between all degrees of assault. A successful, comprehensive defense can be the difference between being charged with a misdemeanor and a third-degree felony.
• Homicide
• Shoplifting
  We are recognized throughout Texas and in federal courts for excellence in all aspects of criminal defense. We have a long history of success in complex state criminal law. State crimes often include minor drug crimes, shoplifting, and DUI/DWI.
