The law is complex, and the criminal justice system is intimidating. Many people have a confusing, frustrating experience trying to navigate the courts.
You don’t have to go it alone.
Practice Areas
Drug Possession
The nature and severity of punishment for crimes involving controlled substances in Texas is constantly evolving. It can be influenced by factors such as the prevalence of national media coverage, the shifting political landscape, or even which county the defendant is charged in. Whether you’re accused of possessing a single joint, or distributing a warehouse-full of fentanyl, The Law Office of James Perl PLLC would like the opportunity to serve you.
Sex Crimes
Sometimes it feels like the burden is on the accused to prove their innocence, even though that is contrary to what the law of the State of Texas, and the United States Constitution dictate. This is never more-so than in the most sensitive cases with the most shocking allegations. People facing these type of allegations need a lawyer who isn’t squeamish or easily shocked by the mere allegations in the indictment. James Perl is such a lawyer. James Perl has represented people accused of sexual crimes ranging from indecent exposure to aggravated sexual assault of a child. You deserve to put his experience to work for you.
DWI
Once seen as a less-serious crime, the penalties for driving while intoxicated have significantly increased in severity over the last half-century. The science behind detecting and prosecuting DWIs has also changed during that time period, as has the art of arguing these cases to juries. James Perl has worked on many DWI cases, as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney. When he was a prosecutor, James Perl served on the Texas District and County Attorneys’ Association DWI Task Force. He keeps abreast of the latest developments through continuing legal education programs on the topic. Let him put that experience to work for you.
Violent Crimes and Family Violence
In Texas, a traffic ticket is a Class C misdemeanor, and so is assault by threat, family violence. Family violence, however, is much more likely to impact your professional license, right to bear arms, immigration status, child custody, and/or reputation, however. The punishment for crimes of domestic violence have gotten increasingly severe over the last several decades, and these are the types of crimes where prejudice (on the part of jurors or prosecutors) can put you at great risk. Don’t go it alone- let an experienced guide work to get you the best outcome attainable. James Perl has worked on dozens of assaults, family violence assaults, and other violent crimes as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney. Get in touch and put us to work for you.
White Collar/Financial Crimes
Businesses in Texas are often involved in highly-complex transactions. Sometimes this can lead to misunderstandings about the way in which funds were handled. James Perl has successfully represented clients accused of dipping into the cash register, as well as those accused of misappropriating tens of thousands of dollars through highly elaborate schemes. The Law Office of James Perl PLLC would welcome your call if you are accused of financial wrong-doing or “white collar” crime.
Fraud
Many crimes in Texas involve some element of misleading someone for financial or other personal gain. (Forgery, for example.) If you have been accused of a crime involving deceit or other moral turpitude, the consequences can sometimes be quite severe. Let James Perl, an experienced Texas criminal law attorney assist you.
