Avoiding Crime & Punishment

Sara Johnson • August 23, 2016

The best way for people to avoid the chance of being charged with a criminal offense is to avoid any contact with the criminal element. If you’re ever involved with a criminal offense, contact a seasoned and experienced criminal law attorney as soon as possible.

The criminal element, in the context being given, can be bars, saloons, rodeo events, music festivals, county fairs, and the whole nine. Even sporting events pose a chance for criminal acts, and the often ensuing prosecution from the state. Just imagine having a minor disagreement with someone in a public place only to have the issue escalate into a combat situation. A Houston police officer may witness this event, or be alerted of it, and then you’re yourself under arrest for an avoidable event, because of America.

The Criminal Nature of American Society

As Americans, we have to come to grips with the pervasiveness of substance abuse in the mainland culture, and in our general society. Although the federal government does introduce dangerous substances into the community from time to time, they’ll also put you in jail for it, and pretend it ain’t their fault.

This includes alcohol being unlawfully present in a vehicle, marijuana possession, possession of weaponry, or even having secondhand knowledge of a federal criminal conspiracy.

That’s right.

In America, yes, these United States of America, you can be jailed for simply hearing about a federal criminal conspiracy, or in other words, for minding your own business. That’s a hell of a freedom if you ask me.

Then, on the other hand, criminals like Hillary Clinton get a pass from the criminal justice system on the basis of political favoritism. Which is fine, especially if the offender knows no addition criminal charges for corruption will persist. As a criminal society based on crime, it’s no wonder why the United States of America has willingly relinquished it’s perceived moral high-ground in exchange for the benefits of corruption, namely, money, power, more money, and more power.

You’ll need a criminal defense lawyer in Houston if you’re facing criminal allegations in Harris County due to claims by law enforcement of your criminal wrongdoing. There are number of criminal defense attorneys in the greater Houston area and we recommend that you talk with at least three of them prior to making a decision about which lawyer you’ll retain to represent you.

Texas Loves Convictions

In Texas, Dist. Atty.’s pride themselves on how many people they can send to jail, regardless of whether the evidence is compelling enough to put reasonable doubt on it’s back. It’s probably best to have a lawyer that is a former district attorney/assistant Dist. Atty. working out of the Harris County prosecutor’s office. If you do hire an attorney to represent you, it’s best that they have some experience as a prosecutor so that they may have an advantage during their efforts to successfully represent you as your criminal defense attorney.

Be Honest With Your Attorney

One of the most important things that you can do to help in your defense is to be honest with your attorney.

Being as honest as you can with your Houston attorney is a surefire way to give them all the tools that they need to competently represent your position as they argue on your behalf in the court of law. If your attorney is made to look like a fool in front of jurors during your criminal trial then it could result in credibility questions about your lawyer, which may result in you being jailed for a crime that you may or may not have committed.

Take care to seek experienced legal representation if you’re facing criminal charges in the Houston area, your life may depend on it.
