Our practice involves matters such as:
Sex crimes The consequences of a conviction for a sex crime are catastrophic and usually include long prison sentences followed by lifetime sex offender registration.
Internet crimes We vigorously use our considerable experience in preparing the best defense possible in child pornography cases, internet sex solicitation cases, and internet fraud cases.
Attorney defense We vigorously defend lawyers against charges of professional misconduct, legal malpractice and other unethical conduct before grievance committees. Your livelihood, reputation and career are at stake, and will be defended by Mr. Taylor, who wrote a book on the subject, and who has more than 30 years experience defending these cases.
Defense of licensed professionals We defend licensed professionals and licensed occupations at disciplinary hearings and other licensing proceedings.
Drug crimes We vigorously apply our nearly 40 years of negotiating, trial and appeals experience for you to get the best possible result in drug related and conspiracy cases.
White collar crimes We vigorously handle matters such as mail and real estate fraud, embezzlement, interstate theft, violations of import or export regulations and bank fraud.
Embezzlement We take full advantage of all opportunities to negotiate with the alleged victim and with prosecutors to avoid, if possible, criminal prosecution.
Firearms crimes We handle cases involving all types of firearms charges. Attorney Ray Taylor uses his experience as an avid gun collector and member of an NRA-affiliated gun club in South Texas and his knowledge of search and seizure law to get the best possible result.
Defense of firearms dealers Federal prosecutors often use federal firearms license revocation proceedings to gain admissions in order to federally criminally prosecute firearms dealers. It is best to be represented by an experienced firearms and class III collector, who is also a Criminal Law Specialist.
Hunting accidents We vigorously defend both criminal and civil suits resulting from one hunter shooting another. Be defended by the lawyer who wrote the book on the subject.
Juvenile defense We vigorously represent young people facing juvenile charges, with a special emphasis on avoiding a juvenile's transfer to adult court, and to avoid juveniles having to register as sex offenders.
We use our 39 years of negotiating, trial and appeals experience to vigorously act for people in matters such as:
Federal and state forfeitures We work to protect your property from seizure and forfeiture. Deadlines for forfeitures are very short! Contact us immediately.
Postconviction representation We represent clients at sentencing hearings and other postconviction matters, such as appeals and writs of habeas corpus, motions for shock probation (release from prison after 6 months), and for early termination of probation.
Parole representation We represent people at initial parole hearings and post parole revocation hearings. Due to the new Parole Commission rules, we recommend getting us started 13 months before the parole date.
Appeals We are very experienced and accomplished appellate lawyers who consistently present the best possible brief and oral arguments to the appeals courts.
Our San Antonio law firm handles complex and high profile criminal cases and appeals. Contact us to arrange an appointment to speak with an attorney certified in criminal law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
