Georgetown Criminal Defense Lawyers

Serving Texans in Williamson County

Facing criminal charges in Texas can be a highly stressful and uncertain experience. The severity of state and federal crimes, the complexity of the legal system, and the potential consequences if convicted all contribute to this stress and uncertainty. 

State and federal crimes are serious issues due to the potential for severe penalties, including incarceration, fines, and a lasting criminal record. These consequences can drastically impact your life, affecting your employment prospects, other future opportunities, and personal relationships. 

Having experienced and dedicated Georgetown criminal defense attorneys can significantly alleviate this stress and uncertainty. At Winters & Chidester, you can turn to a team of defenders who have years of experience working as a team in the criminal justice system. Our prior stints as Texas prosecutors give us a unique perspective on how the other side operates to get convictions. 

When you retain our firm, that experience can inform your case, giving you an advantage you might not otherwise have. As a team, our Texas lawyers can provide insightful strategy, seasoned skills, and the advocacy you need in seeking an optimum result.
