In the United States, you are constitutionally deemed innocent until proven guilty, but for people without a lawyer, the system does not always work that way. The State (be it Texas or the Federal Government) has vast resources at its disposal in the prosecution of crime. When those resources are focused on you, it can feel like “Guilty until proven innocent.”

Sometimes people are not guilty because they are innocent. Sometimes people are not guilty because the evidence is illegally obtained or otherwise inadmissible. And sometimes people are not guilty because the State cannot make the case (there’s not enough evidence). If you have been charged with a crime, you need a lawyer who knows the difference and can exploit those weaknesses in the State’s case.

Sometimes people are guilty – they know it, they accept it, and the facts and evidence confirm it. Having an experienced attorney has its value in this scenario as well. The State will negotiate with you, but they have no incentive to do less than the standard pro se (self-representation) offer. A lawyer can usually negotiate a better deal than you can on your own.

Matthew Simcox is an experienced criminal law attorney. He has developed close, professional relationships with court staff and prosecutorial staff. As a former prosecutor, Matthew understands the pressures that prosecutors are under. Professional, friendly, and competent defense attorneys get the better deals. But some cases have to be tried. It’s one thing to get good offers, but quite another thing to go to trial. At the Law Office of Matthew K. Simcox, you will not be sold out for a good offer. You are the boss, and your rights are the most important things to us too. You will get sound advice and counsel, your options, and also the freedom to make decisions about your life, liberty, and property.
