Criminal Defense
FAQs

What should I do right after an arrest?

Do not discuss your case with anyone except your lawyer. Decline interviews, avoid answering questions, and request legal representation immediately.

Can assault or family violence charges be dropped?

In Texas, these decisions are made by prosecutors — not the alleged victim. However, evidence issues, conflicting statements, and legal defenses can lead to reductions or dismissals.

What if I failed or refused a breath or blood test in a DWI case?

You still have options. Testing procedures can be challenged, and refusal doesn’t guarantee conviction.

Will a conviction stay on my record forever?

Many criminal convictions in Texas cannot be expunged, so early defense is critical to protect your long-term future.

Can your firm represent Spanish-speaking clients?

Yes. Daniela Ibarra provides bilingual representation and assists Spanish-speaking clients throughout the entire criminal process.
