Criminal Defense

Our East Texas Criminal Defense Practice

When you are facing criminal charges, it can cause a great deal of stress for you and your family. Knowing that you are working with an experienced criminal defense attorney, someone who knows the court system and the law, can help you feel assured that your criminal defense is in good hands.

For Tonda L. Curry, 18 years of experience with criminal law has helped her become a skilled advocate with broad knowledge of criminal law. From our offices in Tyler, Texas, our criminal defense law firm handles state and federal criminal defense cases for clients throughout eastern Texas.

"One of the most common mistakes that criminal defendants make is to believe that the charges against them will never stand up in court. If I could say one thing to every person charged with a crime, it would be: 'Let a criminal defense lawyer make that decision for you.'" — Criminal defense lawyer Tonda L. Curry

  • Drug charges: Conviction for a drug-related offense carries extremely serious penalties and can have a major impact on your future in terms of employment and federal loan eligibility. We defend clients against federal drug charges and handle state court cases, including charges of drug-related conspiracies and meth manufacturing.
  • White collar crime is a fancy name for very common crimes, including credit card fraud, forgery, bank fraud and bankruptcy fraud.
  • Environmental crimes: Our clients facing environmental crime charges range from individual farmers charged with violating the Clean Water Act to corporations facing investigation for illegal dumping.
  • Possession of child pornography: The federal government is cracking down on child pornography, and a lot of people are getting caught in the government's wide-flung net. These charges can be embarrassing and confusing, and you deserve a criminal defense attorney who will not judge you, who understands the government's priorities and who knows what defense strategies have the best chance of success.
  • Other federal crimes: If you have been charged with any federal crime, it is critically important to hire a criminal defense attorney with experience in the federal courts.
  • Violent crimes: Assault, battery, attempted murder, robbery and burglary — defense of these crimes requires an experienced and creative defense lawyer, one who will provide an aggressive defense and will not pass judgment on his or her clients.
  • Sexual assault: We defend all types of sexual assault cases, including violent assaults and statutory rape charges.
