Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Have you been accused of committing a crime? Don’t let the prosecution bully you around. Stand up for your rights, beginning by hiring a dedicated criminal defense attorney who will represent you forcefully in the face of prosecution accusations. The Law Offices of Anthony Simpson, Esq. has experience serving clients in criminal cases, providing aggressive representation with proven results.
• DUI/DWI
  Texas has an implied-consent law, which means that, when a police officer develops a probable cause to make a DWI arrest, a licensed driver is required to submit to a breath, blood or urine blood-alcohol test. If you refuse, your action will result in automatic license suspension. Your driver license can be suspended from 90 days to two years, depending on your criminal record.
• Traffic Violations
  If you have been charged with operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving with a suspended license, or vehicular manslaughter, The Law Offices of Anthony Simpson, Esq. can help. The firm helps clients who need to get their driver licenses restored or who need to fight traffic tickets.
• Sex Crimes
  Rape and sexual assault cases are often among the most difficult for defendants to win. Anthony has the experience and skills to successfully litigate these cases.
• Fraud
  If you have been charged with a felony, it is essential that you retain an experienced criminal defense attorney to zealously defend you in court. Felonies— such as murder, rape, armed robbery, credit card fraud and burglary — are the most serious crimes. Felony convictions also have the most-serious consequences. A person convicted of a felony is sentenced to serve at least one year in a state or federal prison and might be committed for life. Also, convicted felons are stripped of many of the rights guaranteed to American citizens, including the right to vote, the right to travel out of the country and the right to own a gun. Also, convicted felons also have to disclose their crimes on job applications and can be deported if they are not American citizens.
• Robbery
  After several years on active duty, Anthony left the Coast Guard and returned to the State’s Attorney’s Office as a juvenile prosecutor, then felony prosecutor. As a felony prosecutor, Anthony Simpson handled hundreds of cases involving drug distribution, assault, burglary, robbery and homicide.
• Burglary
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
  Misdemeanors are crimes — such as disorderly conduct, simple assault, shoplifting and trespassing — that are punishable by up to a year in prison. Although misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, having a misdemeanor conviction on your criminal record can limit your employment options and can result in a jail sentence. Ensure that you receive a fair trial by letting an experienced attorney represent you.
• Drug Crimes
  Charges of trafficking, distributing or possessing illegal substances or drug paraphernalia can result in heavy fines and extended time in jail. You can rely on Anthony’s knowledge of drug crimes and his history of successful results to help eliminate or minimize the charges against you.
