Everyone charged with a violent crime deserves an experienced and dedicated criminal defense attorney at his or her side — a lawyer who will use all her knowledge and skill to build the best possible defense. In violent crime cases, your defense attorney can make the difference between a dropped charge and a felony conviction.
Attorney Tonda L. Curry has 18 years of criminal law experience, including 12 years spent as a federal criminal prosecutor. She is also one of a handful of Texas attorneys approved to handle death penalty cases. This vote of confidence from the state of Texas comes as the result of a history of achievement in the practice of criminal law. We know the law and we know how to forcefully advocate for our clients.
How We Build Your Defense
After we meet with you to learn what has happened from your perspective, we begin an investigation. We review the police reports to learn what the prosecution's perspective will be. We retrace your steps and the steps of any witnesses and the alleged victim. If the charge is bogus, we negotiate with the district attorney's office to drop the charge or decrease it to a lesser offense. And we gather any and all mitigating factors — external stressors in your life that may have caused you to make one bad decision.
We try to resolve these cases to our clients' benefit without the necessity of an expensive trial. However, we have years of trial experience that we use to good effect when a trial becomes the best option for a successful outcome.
