Assault
In many cases, it comes down to two people's words. Credibility and determining the primary aggressor are always issues in an Assault charge.
Felony Charges

Theft
Theft charges range from a minor misdemeanor to a serious felony depending on the value involved. The right defense can mean the difference between a dismissal and a permanent record.

Dismissals & Trial Strategy
Not every case belongs in front of a jury — and not every case belongs anywhere near a plea deal. Before a single motion is filed, every case is evaluated for the fastest path to a dismissal: challenging probable cause, attacking the evidence, and holding the State to its burden of proof. When the State won’t budge, the case is built and tried like it’s going to trial from day one — because prosecutors negotiate differently with an attorney who is actually prepared to walk into a courtroom.

Why Choose The Aragon Law Firm
Focused Exclusively on Criminal Defense. Unlike a general-practice attorney splitting time between family law, contracts, and injury claims, Joseph Aragon has built his entire career around one thing: defending people the State of Texas has chosen to prosecute.
You Work Directly With Your Attorney. Calls, texts, and emails go to Joseph Aragon himself, not a rotating cast of paralegals or case managers. The person who reviews your case is the person who stands next to you in court.
A Free, No-Pressure Case Review. Every case starts with a conversation, not a sales pitch, so you understand your options before you decide anything.
Prepared to Fight, Not Just Negotiate. Cases are built with trial in mind from the first phone call, which changes how prosecutors respond when it’s time to talk about a resolution.
Frequently Asked Questions
Stay calm and exercise your right to remain silent beyond providing basic identifying information. Do not try to explain, argue, or talk your way out of the situation with police – anything you say can be used against you later. Ask for an attorney immediately, and avoid discussing your case with anyone other than your lawyer, including cellmates, family on recorded jail calls, or social media.
Not automatically. A first-offense DWI in Texas is generally a Class B misdemeanor, and many first-time cases resolve with probation, fines, and license-related penalties rather than jail – especially without aggravating factors like a high BAC, an accident, or a child passenger. Every case turns on its specific facts, which is why an early case review matters.
Every case is different, and fees depend on the charge level, county, and whether the case is likely to go to trial. Joseph offers a free, no-pressure consultation to review your specific charge and give you a clear, upfront fee quote before you decide anything.
It depends on how your case was resolved. Many dismissals, deferred adjudications, and not-guilty outcomes qualify for an expunction (complete destruction of the record) or an order of nondisclosure (sealing it from public view). Eligibility rules are technical and case-specific, so it’s worth a free consultation to find out exactly where you stand.
Yes. Being innocent doesn’t stop a case from being filed, and prosecutors don’t drop charges just because you didn’t do it — you still need someone who can gather evidence, challenge the State’s case, and make sure your side is actually heard before a plea is ever on the table.
