Law Office of Brett A. Podolsky - Criminal Defense Attorney
The US Constitution and the Texas Criminal Code set out your rights as a defendant in any court of law. Many of these rights you may have heard on television police procedurals when the on-screen cop speaks the Miranda warning.
Getting your criminal charges dismissed is the preferred method of resolving a criminal case. It means the case ends favorably without the risk of a trial, where attorneys cannot control all the elements and factors of the prosecution.
If you have been charged with a crime in Texas, you don’t want just any lawyer — you need a criminal lawyer. You need someone who specializes in the state’s criminal statutes and has experience in the criminal justice system of Texas.
Unlike an accident, criminally negligent homicide results from reasonably foreseeable outcomes that likely could be avoided by responsible action. In cases of criminally negligent homicide, the court finds someone at fault, even though the offense was not premeditated.
Over 90% of criminal convictions result from plea bargains. Why so many? Because the US criminal justice system is inefficient and overwhelmed with cases.
