The Fertitta Law Firm Areas Of Practice

Criminal Defense
The ultimate goal of a defense attorney is to clear the defendant of any criminal liability charged against him/her in a court of law. With the assistance of an experienced attorney, cases can often be disposed of without the expense of going to trial. In the event trial is necessary, the Fertitta Law Firm promises to vigorously defend your rights using our expertise as an aggressive trial firm.

Homicide
Zachary B. Fertitta has handled cases involving allegations of murder, manslaughter, and intoxication manslaughter. These are the cases where the stakes are the highest for the client and losing or being unprepared often results in a prison sentence.
These types of cases usually include complex, forensic evidence and crime scene analysis. In these types of cases we make extensive use of private investigators, forensic, and scientific experts to fight the State’s evidence.

DUI/DWI Defense
The Fertitta Law Firm has successfully defended individuals charged with the criminal offense of driving while intoxicated (DWI) in and around the Houston/Galveston and South Texas areas. We assist citizens charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI), driving under the influence (DUI) and with license revocation (ALR) hearings.

The Legal Limit. The legal limit for intoxication in Texas is .08 blood alcohol concentration (BAC). However, drivers can be stopped and cited for impaired driving due to alcohol or other drugs regardless of BAC. Texas also has a zero tolerance law. For anyone under 21, it is illegal to drive with any detectable amount of alcohol. Click here for more information on DWI and what to do if you are pulled over.

Juvenile Offense
Our intention is to intervene, as early in the process of juvenile prosecution, as possible. Without clear representation and attorneys that understand juvenile defense procedures, harsh measures can be assessed for youthful offenders.  The Fertitta Law Firm seeks to prevent jail time and minimize a range of punishments for the accused.

Domestic Violence
The rising incident and misuse of family violence is a growing issue in our courts. Speak to an experienced legal firm before making any decisions concerning your case. A conviction can impact many areas of your life including professional licensing, gun ownership and employment.

Federal Criminal Law
If indicted for Federal crimes, turn to the Fertitta Law Firm to protect your rights and your assets. Federal crimes are investigated by federal law enforcement officials such the FBI and are prosecuted by a United States Attorney. Federal courts can hand down serious penalties to those convicted of these crimes.

Sex Offenses
If you have been accused of a sexual offense, consult with us first, before allowing an interview with law enforcement. If you have been accused, it is likely law enforcement is building a case against you. Most sexual offenses result, if convicted, in the accused having to register as a sex offender. Protect your rights and understand your options. Call the Fertitta Law Firm.

Drug Offenses
The Fertitta Law Firm is dedicated to securing the best results for you. In many situations law enforcement officers violate the search and seizure laws which are guaranteed by the United States and Texas Constitutions. It is vital to have a Law Firm that knows how to litigate improper search issues and preserve your rights.

Asset Forfeiture
The Federal and local law enforcement agencies have the power to seize assets and take your property, which they believe have been used in furtherance of criminal acts. Don’t let the government seize and sell your assets without a fight. There are strict procedures that the government must follow in order to seize your assets and file forfeiture proceedings.  Call the Fertitta Law Firm, to stop the government from taking your property.
