A Proven Felony Defense Attorney And Former Prosecutor

Felonies are the most serious category of criminal offense. They can lead to jail time on top of lasting consequences such as loss of your ability to legally carry a firearm and a conviction on your record.

With so much at stake, you deserve a proven felony defense attorney who is well-versed in the justice system. Attorney Paul Damico is a former Harris County prosecutor and former judge with more than 20 years of experience handling criminal cases. He will work strategically and aggressively to defend you.

Common Types Of Felonies

Common felony charges in Texas include:

  • Repeat DWI offenses
  • Drug possession and trafficking
  • Assault and sexual assault
  • Theft offenses
  • Solicitation of a minor
  • Child endangerment
  • Burglary
  • Forgery
  • Stalking
  • Fraud

Based in The Woodlands, Paul handles all kinds of felony cases in Harris County, Montgomery County and surrounding areas.

The Difference Between A Felony And Misdemeanor

Misdemeanors are less serious than felonies. The penalties for a felony conviction are much more harsh and carry a longer potential prison sentence. Additionally, it’s much harder to get felony criminal records expunged or sealed.

How Long Does A Felony Show Up On A Background Check In Texas?

Contrary to popular belief, there is no time limit for felonies on background checks. Felony convictions are a matter of public record that can show up on background checks indefinitely unless the conviction gets sealed or expunged.

What Should I Do If I Have Been Charged With A Felony?

First, exercise your right to remain silent. You won’t do yourself any favors by talking to the police or prosecutors without a lawyer present. Similarly, don’t enter a plea without speaking to a lawyer.

The sooner you get an attorney on your side, the better.
