Full Range of Criminal Defense

At Varghese Summersett, we understand that every criminal charge, from a Class B misdemeanor to capital murder, carries life-altering consequences. In Texas, misdemeanors—such as first-time DWIs, theft, or simple possession—are punishable by up to one year in county jail. While these charges may seem minor compared to felonies, the repercussions can ripple through your life, impacting your career, driving privileges, and reputation.

Felony charges, on the other hand, carry much more severe penalties, including years—or even life—in prison. These cases, ranging from aggravated assault to capital murder, demand a level of expertise and preparation that only seasoned criminal defense attorneys can provide. But we know that defending against a felony is about more than just avoiding incarceration. A conviction can strip you of your voting rights, your ability to own a firearm, or your professional licenses, making it harder to rebuild your life.

That’s why our approach to criminal defense is comprehensive and proactive. We tailor strategies to address not only the immediate charges but also the indirect and long-term consequences. Whether you’re facing a misdemeanor or the most serious felony, our goal is to safeguard your freedom, protect your reputation, and give you the best chance to move forward with your life.
