A Former Prosecutor Who Knows How the Other Side Thinks

If you were arrested with a vape pen after a traffic stop, a DWI investigation, or a search near a San Antonio campus, you are probably being charged with far more than you expected. A charge that feels like "a weed thing" is often a state jail felony, and Bexar County prosecutes it that way. The good news: these cases have real weaknesses, and we know where to look.

If you find yourself being investigated and ultimately charged with a Texas sex offense, you should not speak to the police, and you should reach out to an experienced attorney who has represented these kinds of cases.

Your defense attorney must be as aggressive as the prosecutor, trying to send you to prison and destroy your life. It is always better to have a Former Texas Felony Prosecutor who tried these cases to a jury when fighting these allegations.

The criminal defense attorneys at Austin Hagee Law Firm are Former Texas Felony District Attorneys and Prosecutors who know how to win. Contact us today to get started.

Choose to Fight the Allegations

Being charged with a sex offense in Texas, especially with a child, is the most horrific experience an individual can face. It only takes the simple word of the alleged victim to send a person to prison for most, or even the rest, of their life. Families, careers, and friends are often lost before the case ever sees the inside of a courtroom.

This is one of the most serious charges someone can face. The pre-conceived notions behind this type of crime can be very difficult to change. We believe it is vitally important to hire the extremely experienced team of attorneys at Austin Hagee Law Firm to start the investigation immediately upon learning that you are facing charges.

The work on the front end of the case can make all the difference when it comes to trial. If you find yourself being investigated and ultimately charged with a Texas sex offense, you should not speak to the police, and you should reach out to an experienced attorney who has represented these kinds of cases.

Defending Against False Allegations and Sexual Assault of a Minor Charges

The work starts now. We must begin our own independent investigation immediately.

Acquiring records and information about the complaining witness and circumstances behind the allegations, while memories are clear and records are readily available, is so vitally important in successfully fighting these allegations.

Once we have the necessary full picture, we begin poking holes in the State’s case against you. Enough of these holes will eventually lead to a win.
