Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

Madrid Law provides legal representation and services in the following areas of practice:

- Assault

Texas law describes assault as causing, or threatening to cause, physical bodily harm to another person. This can be the result of intentional harm or through reckless conduct. In addition, if you intentionally make physical contact with a person and you know that the other party will perceive the contact as offensive or unwanted, an assault charge can result. The staff at Madrid Law understands how serious an assault charge can be. We are determined to make every effort to have the allegations against you dismissed through a variety of defense techniques. If a conviction is unavoidable, we can work with the state to get the minimum sentence available in exchange for counseling or probation. Madrid Law will work hard to defend your rights and secure your peace of mind.

- Domestic Violence

If you are facing Houston family violence charges, you need professional representation by a trained domestic violence attorney. The staff at Madrid Law has vast experience protecting the rights of persons who have been accused of domestic violence. In cases of domestic violence, we have a variety of effective defense strategies at our disposal. Our team will meet with neighbors, friends and relatives, or other acquaintances that may help us understand your family dynamics and expose information provided by the complainant that may not be consistent. We often utilize medical experts and previous incidents to help demonstrate that any action that may have been taken on your part was in self-defense.

- Drugs

Prosecutors are beginning to focus more on drug possession cases. Very specific laws and sentencing guidelines have been designed to assist in prosecuting Houston drug cases, which is why anyone who is arrested for possession of an illegal substance should hire an experienced and qualified attorney like Mario Madrid immediately. Having a drug charge on your record can prevent you from obtaining certain jobs and may affect your existing employment. Only an attorney who is knowledgeable about drug laws and defenses will be able to adequately defend against these types of drug cases. Houston attorney Mario Madrid defends every type of drug case, whether your case is a local drug case or federal drug case

He has a proven track record of success in all areas of defending DWI cases. If you have been arrested for DWI in Houston, you must act quickly to hire an experienced and trustworthy lawyer who is knowledgeable about drunken driving cases.

With prior experience as an Assistant District Attorney, Mario Madrid understands the tactics used by prosecutors in DWI cases and how to best defend against accusations of DWI.

- Federal Defense

The penalties for federal criminal cases are usually more severe than for state cases. Federal sentencing guidelines give the government a great deal of power, and the government has usually conducted a lengthy investigation before seeking an indictment. Federal cases are first heard by a grand jury, which gives the government an opportunity to see how a jury would receive a particular criminal case and gives the government an opportunity to organize their presentation of the evidence prior to trial. For all of these reasons, federal cases are some of the most difficult cases to win.

Federal criminal defense attorney Mario Madrid uses his previous experience as an Assistant DA to help his clients prepare the best defense for federal cases. The attorneys at Madrid Law have a detailed understanding of federal laws, motions to suppress evidence and understand the best defenses for federal cases. Mario Madrid is an aggressive trial lawyer that fights to protect his clients’ rights even before charges are filed.

Children are often afraid and embarrassed and need a caring juvenile defense attorney to help them navigate the court process. Houston defense lawyer Mario Madrid knows that juvenile cases require special attention.

- Property Crimes

The consequences for Houston property crimes varies, depending upon the parties involved, the value of goods or services allegedly stolen and the other facts and circumstances surrounding the case. Alleged victims of property crimes often have police, expert witnesses and prosecutors working to help them, which is why you should hire an experienced and aggressive defense lawyer as soon as you are accused of a crime.

Even if you are guilty of a property crime, there are steps your attorney can take to protect your rights and help you obtain the best possible outcome, given the unique facts and circumstances of your case.

- Sex Crimes

Being convicted of a sex crime may require you to register as a sex offender, may affect where you can live and work, and may affect your ability to associate with children. Sex crimes often carry potential sentences that include years of incarceration. Sometimes people are falsely accused of sex crimes because of a misunderstanding, or sometimes false allegations of sex crimes happen in divorces or child custody cases. Being accused of a sex crime can ruin a person’s life. Friends, family and the public may begin to judge you before knowing all of the facts. It can feel like you are presumed guilty instead of being innocent until proven guilty beyond all reasonable doubt. At Madrid Law, we fight hard to protect our clients’ legal rights and their reputations, jobs and families.

- Theft

There are wide varieties of theft charges in Texas ranging from shoplifting to armed robbery. The state takes the overall value of the items that were stolen, along with the nature of the crime, and determines whether misdemeanor or felony charges are to be filed against the accused. The professionals at Madrid Law have extensive experience in representing clients charged with theft related crimes. We have proven defense strategies that can help you. When necessary, we are also very successful at negotiating lighter sentences including deferred prosecution and counseling in lieu of jail time.

- Violent Crimes

Violent crime cases have very high penalties and are taken very seriously by judges, juries, prosecutors and the public. Violent crime cases may gain attention from local Houston news or from the national media. If you are accused of a crime in a high-profile case, you need a qualified criminal lawyer to protect your rights during the investigation, in the courtroom and in the court of public opinion. Only a criminal defense attorney like Mario Madrid has the knowledge, skills and experience to protect your rights and defend against violent crime cases.

- White Collar Crimes

White collar crimes are serious cases that can greatly affect a person’s job, reputation in the community and a person’s family. White collar crimes are non-violent crimes that frequently involve the use of a computer. Such crimes include identity theft, tax evasion and embezzlement. White collar lawyer Mario Madrid will work tirelessly to uncover bias, motives, mistakes and lies on the part of witnesses. Even if you have not yet been charged with a crime, if you are being investigated, you should hire an aggressive defense attorney as soon as possible.
