one type of law.
Over the past few years, Lex has

Lex would be happy to discuss his
victories, as well as his losses, when

proud of his record as a trial attorney
and believes that his record compares
quite well to any other attorney's
record in Tarrant County.
In addition to representing clients
in trials, Lex has made numerous
presentations in front of Grand Juries
in Tarrant County. One of Lex's
Grand Jury presentations is used by the
Tarrant County District Attorney's
office as a guide to show other defense
lawyers how to present a winning case.
Of the eleven cases Lex has presented to
the Grand Jury, only one was actually
indicted.
Lex knows the Tarrant County system
and is familiar with many ways to
resolve cases without having to go to
trial. In many cases, especially
misdemeanor cases, it may be possible
for Lex to get a case dismissed, no
matter how guilty you may actually be.
In order to find out if it is a
possibility for your case, you should
answer all of Lex's questions as
honestly as possible so that he can
determine if there is a program your
