Texas Attorney Protecting Your Rights
When you have been charged with a crime — any crime — the stakes are high. You face potential time behind bars, heavy fines and other court-ordered penalties. Further, a conviction will show up in a criminal background check, making it difficult to get hired for a good job, obtain a school loan, get a professional license or even rent an apartment.
My name is Derek W. Emmons. At my office in San Antonio, I provide experienced criminal defense for clients charged with felony and misdemeanor crimes in the state and federal courts. I understand how a criminal allegation can harm your future, your reputation and your family. My goal is to eliminate any impact a criminal charge may have on you or your family.
If you are being accused of a crime or are under investigation for a crime, protect yourself. Speak with me, Attorney Derek Emmons, before making a statement to the police. Call 210-775-1181 or 877-847-4025 for free consultation.
Put My Experience to Work for You
Your criminal defense case is too important to trust to an inexperienced attorney. Not only do I have detailed knowledge of the law, but I also have extensive courtroom experience and understanding of the inner workings of the courthouse. Since 1996, I have been helping clients deal with issues ranging from traffic tickets to theft and fraud to murder. I am a former Bexar County Assistant District Attorney. Rest assured I have the experience, skill, knowledge and network of relationships to handle your criminal defense case.
