Firm Overview: Texas Criminal Defense Lawyer
Board Certified Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization
Most people have never hired a criminal defense attorney. In many cases, hiring the right criminal attorney is the biggest decision they will make in their lifetime. Not only does the attorney represent the client on the criminal matter, but the client’s criminal record can be affected depending on the outcome of the case. A criminal record for as little as possession of marijuana or driving while intoxicated can damage one’s ability to get a job or even rent an apartment. Attorney Michael Lowe does not just defend his client’s case, but rather protects his client’s reputation and criminal record.
Many lawyers will take a criminal case here and there, but Michael Lowe is dedicated exclusively to defending clients in Federal and State Court throughout Texas. We urge anyone indicted, charged with arrested for or investigated in Texas Federal or State Court by law enforcement to carefully choose their attorney. Therefore, Michael Lowe has put together a top ten list of questions that prospective clients should ask prospective criminal defense attorneys.
