Criminal record relief support through expunctions, nondisclosures, and clear strategy.

Limited Criminal Defense & Criminal Record Relief

Support with expunctions, nondisclosures, case strategy, and limited-scope criminal defense — so you can move forward without old mistakes holding you back.

If a past charge, arrest, or conviction is holding you back, you’re not alone—and criminal record relief may give you more options than you think.

I offer Texas-focused criminal record relief and limited criminal defense support designed to help you understand what’s possible, what’s not, and what your smartest next step should be—without pressure, confusion, or unnecessary legal fees.

Texas law varies by offense, disposition, and timeline. A strategy consult helps clarify eligibility before you spend money filing.

Not sure if you qualify for record relief? Start with a quick strategy consult. No attorney-client relationship is formed.

How I Can Help With Criminal Record Relief

I help people understand their options, get organized, and take the right next step under Texas law.

Whether you’re trying to clear or seal a record, figure out what you’re eligible for, or need limited assistance with a criminal matter, my approach is practical and strategy-focused — not rushed or one-size-fits-all.

Services vary by eligibility, timing, and case posture.

Who This Is For

Not every legal situation needs full representation — but it does need clarity.
This page is designed to help you quickly determine whether my services are a good fit for your goals, timeline, and level of support needed.

This is a good fit if you

  • Want to clear or seal an old record and need a straightforward plan

  • Need help understanding your options before you spend money filing

  • Have a current matter and need limited support for a specific task (review, strategy, drafting)

  • Want to handle most of the process yourself but need guidance or document review

This may not be the right fit if you

  • Need full representation for a serious criminal trial immediately

  • Have an urgent court date within days and need emergency coverage

  • Want guaranteed outcomes (no one ethical can promise that)

  • Looking for immediate court coverage or emergency defense representation

Need Limited Representation Instead?

Some situations require more than a guide — but not full criminal defense. Limited-scope representation may be available depending on your case, timing, and court.

Request Limited-Scope Assistance

Use the form below to describe your situation and the type of help you’re seeking. If limited representation is appropriate, you’ll receive next-step options and pricing.

Submitting this form does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Limited representation allows you to get targeted legal help for a specific part of your case — without committing to full representation.

This may include:

  • Reviewing eligibility before filing

  • Drafting or revising expunction or nondisclosure paperwork

  • Strategy guidance before a hearing

  • Document preparation or affidavit review

  • Clarifying next steps when timelines or prior cases complicate eligibility

Availability depends on the facts of your case, court posture, and scope requested. Not all matters qualify.
