Where Frisco Cases Are Handled
If you're arrested or cited in Frisco, your case may go to one of several courts, depending on the charge:
-
Frisco Municipal Court (Class C misdemeanors like public intox, assault by contact, theft under $100, drug paraphernalia)

Collin County Courts at Law (Class A and B misdemeanors)

Collin County District Courts in McKinney (felony charges)

What Makes Us Different
Frisco is policed by both the Frisco Police Department and, in some cases, Collin County Sheriff's Office or Texas DPS. These agencies often use dash cams, body cams, and lab-tested evidence—giving the prosecution a strong starting point.
We know how to fight back. Our team:
-
Challenges illegal stops, searches, or arrests
-
Files motions to suppress key evidence
-
Negotiates aggressively for dismissals or diversions
-
Takes cases to trial when necessary
We're known for pushing back hard on weak or overcharged cases—especially in family violence, drug, and DWI situations.
