Most criminal offenses have wide ranging consequences including affecting current and future employment as well as various rights and freedoms to which you are accustomed. It is important to contact and hire a competent lawyer to assist you with your legal matters, to preserve evidence and help you in your dealings with the police. There are numerous decisions that have to be made regarding your case, and the overwhelming circumstances can be difficult to face on your own.

Attorney John R. Heath, Jr. has a track record of success in defending people who are charged with crimes. Our practice focuses on all areas of criminal defense in local, state and federal courts, primarily in Nacogdoches County and Angelina County. We help people who are either being investigated for a crime or have been charged with a crime, in a county, state, or federal court. The practice has significant trial experience in cases involving driving while intoxicated (DWI), felonies, and misdemeanors.

We've designed our site to answer basic questions about criminal defense law, but it is not a substitute for the individualized legal advice that you can get from a personal consultation with an experienced criminal defense attorney.

If you or someone you care about is in this situation, we may be able to help. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week so that you can reach us when you need us. Please call today at 936-564-8744 to schedule a initial consultation, so that we may discuss your case.
