Our Houston Criminal Defense Lawyers Can Help.

Did you know Andrew Sullo is an American Association of Justice Member (2013-2025)?

Should you find yourself in need of our Houston Criminal Defense Services, it could be extremely beneficial for you to seek the help of an experienced Houston Criminal Lawyer as soon as possible. When an unexpected situation arises, resulting in a Harris County Arrest—as well as potential Harris County Criminal Records—having a knowledgeable Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer by your side can truly make all the difference. It is important to understand that each year across the nation, literally thousands of people are unfairly convicted of a crime due to the fact that our current justice system places them at a distinct disadvantage.

Good people can make a one-time bad decision, leaving them facing Harris County Criminal Court, and even potentially Harris County Jail Texas. Think about it—a government-funded Harris County District Attorney is never reluctant to assume you are guilty. And, perhaps you are guilty of the crime you are being charged with, however there are extenuating circumstances which may never come to light without the help of a talented Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer. What you need more than anything right now is experienced legal help from a reputable Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer with both the background and the knowledge to level the playing field and fight for the most positive outcome possible.

Stages of a Criminal Case in Houston – Once the police have reason to believe you have committed a criminal offense, an investigation will ensue. While most people do not believe they require a Houston Criminal Lawyer when they are only under suspicion of a criminal offense, in fact, this could be the most important time to have an experienced Houston Criminal Defense Attorney by your side. Early on in the process, your Houston Criminal Lawyer could be able to head off further investigation, or could be able to negotiate lesser charges if the evidence is present. Either way, the result will be better for you. When the police are investigating the crime, they will conduct witness interviews, assess the known facts, and collect all evidence which points to your guilt in the matter.

If there appears to be sufficient evidence against you, a judge will sign a warrant for your arrest, and you will be taken into custody and questioned. This is another crucial point in the process where you could benefit from having a Houston Criminal Defense Attorney helping you determine what questions you should answer and when you should remain silent. The judge may allow you to post bond, or could require you to stay in jail until your trial, depending on the seriousness of the crime you are being accused of. Having an aggressive Houston Criminal Lawyer from Sullo & Sullo by your side can truly make a difference from the time of your Harris County Arrest, through your appearance in Harris County Criminal Court, and your subsequent trial. You certainly want to remain free until the charges are resolved, and a Houston Criminal Lawyer from Sullo & Sullo can help make that happen.

Should You Enter into a Plea Bargain Following Your Harris County Arrest? – You and your Houston Criminal Defense Attorney will appear at your preliminary hearing. During this hearing, the Harris County District Attorney will attempt to show sufficient evidence against you to proceed to trial. Your Sullo & Sullo Houston Criminal Defense Attorney will work to show there is insufficient evidence against you, arguing that the charges should be dropped. At this point, if there is sufficient evidence, your Houston Criminal Lawyer may attempt to negotiate a plea bargain on your behalf. In a plea bargain, either the charges are reduced, some of the charges are dropped, or a more moderate sentence for your offense will be exchanged in return for your guilty plea. Whatever your situation, a Sullo & Sullo Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer will never enter a plea bargain on your behalf without your full agreement as well as your understanding of the consequences of the plea as well as the alternatives.

What if Your Case Goes to Trial? If no plea agreement can be reached, a trial date will be set. While many Houston Criminal Lawyers simply do not have sufficient courtroom experience, our Houston Criminal Attorneys do have the experience as well as the specific skill-sets necessary for trial. A Sullo & Sullo Houston Criminal Lawyer will always provide an uncompromising defense on your behalf, no matter what criminal offense you are charged with. Whether you have been charged with DWI, assault, theft, a white-collar crime, a violent crime, hit and run, child abuse, juvenile crimes, drug crimes or federal crimes, we can help you during this difficult time.

Phillip Payter is an outstanding attorney. I thought my case would easily get dismissed but for whatever reasons it did not a first. I sat down verily and talked with Mr. Payter and explained what happened. He assured me he would not give up and after talking with prosecutors he was able to get it dismissed. Law enforcement doesn’t always have their details pit together, these guys will make sure they do! Thank you Sullo&Sullo and Thank you Phillip!
Response from the owner:Charles, what a ride that must have been, thinking dismissal was coming and then hitting that unexpected wall. It means a lot to hear that Phillip sat down with you, listened to the whole story, and refused to let it go. Getting that case dismissed after prosecutors were already involved says everything about how hard he worked for you. We'll absolutely pass your words along to Phillip. Thank you for sharing this.

Hired Sullo & Sullo attorneys to help with a couple tickets, allegedly speeding and running a red light. After having the initial court dates reset, I had my day in court and yo my surprise, they both got dismissed. Attorney Phillip J. Payter was outstanding. I will definitely be using them again IF I ever get another ticket.
Response from the owner:Jesse, getting both of those dismissed on the same day in court had to be a great feeling, and it sounds like Phillip made the whole process a lot easier than you were expecting. We'll make sure he hears about this. Here's hoping you don't need us again, but it's good to know you know where to find the legal team at Sullo & Sullo Attorneys at Law if you do!
