Law Firm Overview

At the Law Office of Kimberly Griffin Tucker, we focus on handling cases within the areas criminal law and criminal defense in Denton County, Dallas County and Collin County. If you have been arrested or accused of a crime, you need an aggressive, experienced trial attorney like Kimberly Griffin Tucker to answer your questions and to honestly and zealously defend you.

Attorney Kimberly Griffin Tucker has built a solid reputation in this area, working in the Denton County District Attorney's Office, the Grayson County District Attorney's Office, and as a municipal court judge. This experience has served her well, as prosecutors know her to be a powerful opponent with the ability and experience to fight any criminal charge.

Make no mistake - Prosecutors are well aware of defense attorneys that are either afraid or unwilling to try cases. A prosecutor with this knowledge has no incentive to negotiate or present you with a reasonable offer to resolve your case. Prosecutors who know Mrs. Tucker know that she is not intimidated by a trial.

No matter what your criminal defense issue, Mrs. Tucker's firm is full service in the area of criminal law and criminal defense. However, she is best known for her DWI defense work. Since 2005, she has only lost two DWI cases in Denton County and, despite a .17 breath test score; the jury was still out almost 5 hours. Needless to say, her trial skills are dynamic.

Year this Office was Established: 1999

Practice Areas Description

Our criminal defense practice areas include:

- DWI and Intoxication-related Offenses

Mrs. Tucker excels in defending Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) cases, Driving Under the Influence (DUI) cases, and Boating While Intoxicated (BWI) cases. These intoxication-oriented offenses (which also include public intoxication, furnishing alcohol to a minor, and minors charged with possession, consumption, or underage drinking and driving) are very complicated and must be handled with care and attention to detail. For more information, please see the following pages on DWI and defending intoxication-oriented cases: The hidden cost of a DWI and a DWI conviction; DWI, implied consent and driver's license suspensions; Texas DWI penalties; Field sobriety tests; Breathalyzer and blood tests.

- Drug Offenses

If you have been charged with a drug crime in Texas, aggressive legal representation is essential. Texas drug laws are very complicated and can even cause driver's license suspension. As an experienced Denton County drug crimes lawyer, Mrs. Tucker has extensive experience providing legal advice for clients charged with: Possession of marijuana; Distribution of a controlled substance; Possession of dangerous drugs; Prescription fraud, and drug delivery cases. Whether your case involves buying drugs, selling drugs, or possession, Mrs. Tucker is a Carrollton drug charges attorney who will fully discuss all of these issues with you in order to determine whether it is best to plead or try your case.

- Probation Violations

Probation violations can include motions to adjudicate, motions to revoke, motions to surrender and motions for early release. The Law Office of Kimberly Griffin Tucker in Plano, Texas, provides aggressive and thorough representation for clients who have violated their probation. There are extensive legal challenges that require you to retain an experienced attorney when you are accused of a probation violation and time is always of the essence. You know that choosing the right lawyer is critical to how your case will turn out but that goes double when it's a new case and the state is trying to find you guilty and punish you (also known as a Motion to Adjudicate) or revoke your probation status (aka a Motion to Revoke).

- Theft and Property Offenses

Our firm defends the rights of her clients and strives to achieve the best possible outcome in all types of theft-related crimes cases. She routinely handles criminal defense cases involving: Theft by check; Issuance of a bad check; Employee theft; Breaking and entering; Possession of stolen property; Larceny; Embezzlement; Robbery and shoplifting. The tragedy is that sometimes these cases occur due to mere oversight, like a mother who was dealing with a crying child and became distracted to the point she accidentally left the store with an unpaid item. Whether the theft was accidental or a one-time, deliberate act, the state of Texas considers theft a crime of moral turpitude.

- Victim-oriented Offense

These can include Class A and C assault, family violence, violation of a protective order, interference with a 911 call, aggravated assault, sexual assault, harassment, stalking, terroristic threats, disorderly conduct, deadly conduct, failing to stop and render aid, and leaving the scene of an accident. A simple assault, one that involves only bodily injury is a class A misdemeanor that carries a range of punishment of up to 365 days in the county jail and/or a fine of up to $4,000.00 up to an aggravated assault that carries the possibility of time in the penitentiary. If your plea offer involves a "straight probation offer", that means an automatic conviction. If this is your situation, you may have nothing to lose by trying your case.

- Non Disclosures & Expungements

Your criminal record can significantly impact employment opportunities, housing opportunities, and many other opportunities. Unless you follow specific procedures to ensure the privacy of your record, the public may have access to information about prior arrests, charges and criminal proceedings — even if you weren't convicted. The Law Office of Kimberly Griffin Tucker in Plano, Texas, assists eligible clients through the process of expunction (also known as expungement) or an order of nondisclosure (ND). Both processes can be invaluable to your future.

- Police Officer-oriented Offenses

Mrs. Tucker provides legal representation to clients accused of perjury, making a false report to a police officer, tampering with evidence, evading arrest, evading detention, resisting arrest, resisting detention or resisting search, failure to identify, unlawful carrying of a weapon, possession of a prohibited weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon, and assault on a public servant.

- Grand Jury Proceedings

Often a properly prepared grand jury packet can be the difference between a true bill of indictment and no bill. Mrs. Tucker has had great success in this area of her practice.

- Administrative Law

There are a variety of innovative strategies that Mrs. Tucker employs in defending clients facing DWI penalties. The most important component of her DWI defense strategy starts at your administrative license revocation hearing (ALR). When you are arrested for DWI, whether your refuse to give a specimen of your breath or blood or fail or a warrant is secured, there will be an ALR hearing. While these ALR hearings provide Mrs. Tucker with an opportunity to prevent the suspension of your driver's license, the aspect she gets the most excited about is the chance to question the police officer that arrested you... and that is because the ALR hearing provides her a nearly unfettered chance to try your case long before the real DWI takes place.
