    Criminal Charges in Waco, Killeen, & Temple

    If you have been charged with a felony or misdemeanor in central Texas, we urge you to be as proactive as you can about protecting your rights and your future. A felony conviction or a misdemeanor conviction is likely to bring numerous negative consequences into your life:

    • Jail and/or prison time
    • Fines and penalties
    • A criminal record that will not go away
    • Career troubles
    • Housing troubles
    • Financial troubles
    • Loss of privileges that you now take for granted

    You may be in a state of shock following an arrest and want to think about what to do next. At The Carlson Law Firm, we recommend that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Perhaps you have not been charged yet but have heard rumors or received official notification that you are under investigation. This is the best time to get an attorney on board as your strong advocate. Many suspects in criminal cases have avoided charges altogether by contacting an attorney in time to make a difference in an investigation.

    Whether you have been arrested or anticipate a possible arrest on suspicion of a crime in Texas, contact The Carlson Law Firm, to schedule a consultation. We zealously defend people charged with crimes including the following:

    • Felonies: Murder, aggravated sexual assault, aggravated kidnapping, arson, burglary, theft of $1,500 or more, manslaughter, robbery, DWI (third conviction)
    • Misdemeanors: assault, stalking, violating a protective order, terroristic threats, criminal trespass, burglary of a vehicle, DWI (first or second conviction), theft or criminal mischief valued at less than $1,500
