Madson Law focuses exclusively on criminal defense. We represent individuals facing allegations ranging from misdemeanors to the most serious felony offenses, including murder, sexual assault, family violence, drug crimes, DWI, theft offenses, weapons charges, probation matters, and record-clearing cases.
Yes. While most of our cases are in Texas state courts, we also represent clients facing federal criminal investigations and charges.
Absolutely. In many situations, the best time to hire a lawyer is before formal charges are filed.
Early intervention may allow us to communicate with investigators, present favorable evidence, address misunderstandings, and potentially prevent charges from being filed altogether. It also gives us more time to prepare if the case moves forward.
Politely decline to answer questions and contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Many people believe they can explain their way out of a situation. In reality, statements made during an investigation often become evidence. Even innocent explanations can create problems later. Before speaking with law enforcement, speak with a lawyer.
Our team includes former prosecutors who understand how criminal cases are built from the inside.
We know how law enforcement investigates cases, how prosecutors evaluate evidence, and where weaknesses often exist. We use that knowledge to build strategic defenses while providing honest guidance and clear communication throughout the process.
Yes.
We believe clients deserve straightforward answers. If there are strengths in your case, we will explain them. If there are challenges, we will explain those too.
Our job is not to tell you what you want to hear. Our job is to help you make informed decisions based on an honest assessment of the facts and the law.
No.
Many criminal cases are resolved through dismissals, reductions, diversion programs, negotiated resolutions, or other favorable outcomes before trial becomes necessary.
That said, every case should be prepared as though it could go to trial. Thorough preparation often creates leverage during negotiations and puts clients in the strongest possible position.
Yes.
Depending on the circumstances, you may qualify for an expunction, order of nondisclosure, early termination of probation, or other forms of post-conviction relief. We can review your record and discuss what options may be available.
Every case is different, so there is no one-size-fits-all answer.
What we can tell you is that criminal defense is often one of the most important investments a person will ever make. A criminal conviction can affect employment opportunities, professional licenses, housing, educational opportunities, and your reputation long after the case is over.
We believe the focus should be on achieving the best possible outcome and minimizing the long-term impact on your life. During your consultation, we will discuss the specifics of your case, explain our fees, and help you understand the options available to you.
We believe clients should understand what is happening and why.
You will receive guidance throughout the process, updates regarding significant developments, and explanations of your available options. Major decisions belong to you. Our role is to provide the information, strategy, and advocacy you need to make those decisions with confidence.
Madson Law represents clients throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including Dallas, Collin, Denton, Tarrant, Rockwall, Kaufman, and Ellis Counties. We also handle cases throughout Texas when circumstances require experienced criminal defense representation.
We start by listening.
We want to understand what happened, where the case currently stands, and what concerns you most. From there, we discuss the allegations, explain potential outcomes, answer your questions, and outline possible next steps.
Our goal is for you to leave the consultation with a clearer understanding of your situation and your options.
The first step is contacting our office to schedule a consultation.
After learning about your situation, we will discuss whether we are a good fit for your case, explain the representation process, and answer any questions you may have about moving forward.
