Representing the Accused
When you are charged with a crime, it can seem as though everything is stacked against you. A process over which you have no control is set in motion. Prosecutors are determined to prove your guilt. More often than not, the court of public opinion finds you guilty before you even step into the courtroom. In this situation, you need an experienced defense attorney on your side.
I can help. My name is Derek W. Emmons, a San Antonio criminal defense attorney with over 15 years of experience who has handled over 70 criminal trials during my career. I aggressively defend clients against felony and misdemeanor charges in state and federal courts in Texas. I have the knowledge, skill and network of relationships to handle your case. As your lawyer I will put all my resources into defending you, whether you are dealing with first-offense or repeat DWI charges, assault or family violence matters, murder or another offense.
If you have been charged with a crime, time is not on your side. Call 210-775-1181 or 877-847-4025 for a free consultation or immediate representation by a San Antonio criminal defense lawyer you can trust.

Did You Know?
When you are charged with or are under investigation for criminal activity, it is important to know your rights. For example, you have the right to refuse a breath test or field sobriety test. (Learn more about the DWI Process.) Typically it is not in your best interest to give a statement to the police when you are under investigation. Your lawyer will help safeguard your rights.
