What Aggressive Criminal Defense Looks Like

At Flanagan and Hale, PLLC, we understand that facing criminal charges is one of the most stressful and uncertain experiences a person can go through. Whether it’s your first time encountering the legal system or you’ve been here before, the fear, confusion, and high stakes remain the same. That’s why we’ve built our practice around one core principle: unwavering, aggressive defense for every client, every time.


Located in Houston, TX, and serving clients throughout Harris County and beyond, we provide both in-person and remote legal services tailored to the needs of real people navigating difficult circumstances. When your freedom, reputation, and future are on the line, we don’t just show up—we show up ready to fight.

We Don’t Judge. We Defend.

We know that good people get caught in bad situations. Whether the result of a misunderstanding, a mistake, or being in the wrong place at the wrong time, criminal charges don’t define who you are. What you do next does. Our job is to help you take control of the narrative, mount a powerful defense, and fight for the best possible outcome.


Our clients come from all walks of life—parents, college students, professionals, veterans. What they have in common is the need for strong legal protection and a team that genuinely cares. At Flanagan and Hale, PLLC, we treat every case with the urgency and respect it deserves.


I did it. Do I have to go to jail?

Too often, people assume an arrest means a conviction and jail time is inevitable. That’s not the case. Police officers make mistakes. Prosecutors overcharge. Witnesses change their stories. At Flanagan and Hale, PLLC, we know how to identify these weak points and use them to your advantage.


When defending your case our only priority is to get the best outcome. Many times this includes getting results other than jail time or convictions. Depending on your case, we will fight for a dismissal, a straight dismissal, probation, or deferred adjudication.
