Where Your Case Will Be Heard
If you're arrested in Plano, your case may go to:
-
Plano Municipal Court (for Class C misdemeanors like public intoxication, Class C assault, theft under $100, or drug paraphernalia)
-
Collin County Courts at Law (for Class A and B misdemeanors)

Why Plano Cases Require an Aggressive Defense
Plano law enforcement uses body cams, surveillance footage, and aggressive interrogation tactics to build cases quickly. Prosecutors often file charges even when evidence is shaky—or when the alleged victim doesn't want to press charges (especially in family violence cases).
We know how to:
-
Challenge illegal searches and traffic stops
-
File motions to suppress evidence
-
Negotiate for pretrial diversion or dismissal
-
Take your case to trial and fight for a “not guilty” verdict
No matter the charge, our goal is simple: protect your record and your future.
