Gaines County Criminal Defense Attorney

A criminal charge can change your life in a matter of hours. If you are facing accusations in Gaines County or elsewhere in West Texas, working with a Gaines County criminal defense attorney early can help protect your rights and prepare for the challenges ahead.

At Don R. Fletcher, Attorney at Law, I take a straightforward and honest approach to criminal defense. As a former prosecutor and criminal defense lawyer practicing since 2013, I want to see the evidence before discussing your options. I will tell you what I think, keep you informed and stand as your advocate through every stage of a case involving Gaines County crimes.

Types Of Criminal Law Cases I Handle

Criminal charges can arise from many different situations, and every case deserves careful preparation and attention to detail.

  • DWI: Helping people accused of driving while intoxicated address criminal charges, license concerns and the penalties that may follow a conviction.
  • Drug Crimes: Representing clients facing allegations of possession, manufacturing, delivery or other controlled substance offenses under Texas law.
  • Theft: Defending against accusations involving shoplifting, property theft, fraud and other offenses that can lead to lasting financial and personal consequences.
  • Assault: Handling cases involving assault, family violence and other allegations of bodily injury or threats of harm while protecting a client’s rights.

As a Gaines County criminal defense attorney, I take the time to research the facts, review the evidence and develop a defense strategy based on your unique circumstances.

Understanding Criminal Penalties By Offense Level

Texas law classifies many Gaines County crimes according to the seriousness of the alleged offense, and those classifications can have a major impact on your future.

Class C misdemeanors may involve fines, while Class A and B misdemeanors can carry jail time and larger financial penalties. State jail felonies may result in confinement in a state jail facility. Third, second and first degree felonies can lead to lengthy prison sentences, and the most serious offenses may expose a person to the harshest penalties allowed by Texas law.

A conviction can affect more than your freedom. Criminal penalties may create challenges for employment, professional licensing and other opportunities.
