Would you like us to try and have this court date changed?

Please review your case information and the process below.

Cause Number	Violation	Violation Date	Court Date	Court Number	Court Status	Court Time

Before You Proceed

It costs $65 for us to try and change your court date. This fee covers the drafting and filing of a Motion For Continuance (MFC) with the Court.
The Judge must review and rule on the MFC. It is within the Judge's discretion on whether to grant or deny the MFC.
If the Judge grants the MFC, we will notify you of your new court date. If the Judge does not grant the MFC, you will need to post a bond in order to receive a new court date. The cost of the bond starts at $250+ depending on the number and type of violations.
You will be asked to provide supporting documents on the next page. The more documents and reasoning you provide as to why a new court date is needed, the more likely the Judge is to grant the MFC. What reasons make it more likely for the Judge to grant my Motion For Continuance?
Most Judges rule on the continuance at your scheduled court date — we will keep you updated.

I have read, understand and agree to the process described above. An email and text containing a hyperlink will be sent to the primary telephone and email on file. I must click the hyperlink and submit the electronic form in order to complete the requested MFC.

CONTRACT FOR LEGAL SERVICES AND SURETY BONDS

This Agreement is between ("Client") and Sullo & Sullo, LLP ("Attorney").

Employment of Attorney and Case Description: Client employs Attorney for representation on the following case(s):

Case Number	Violation Description	Status	Crt Date	Crt Time	Location

Payment and Fee Schedule: Client paid the following fees in exchange for Attorney's representation:

Payment Date	Representative	Payment Method	Payment Amount

Client's Contact Information and Notification Obligation: Client confirms Client's contact information listed below is correct. Furthermore, Client agrees to notify Attorney if any of Client's contact information changes.
Engagement of Attorney for Immediate Representation and Fees Policy: Client is engaging the services of Attorney for immediate representation and scheduling of their case, irrespective of the court date. Attorney will take prompt action, including creating an electronic file and filing a letter of representation on the client's behalf. Due to these immediate actions, Client acknowledges and agrees that Attorney deems a percentage of the fees earned upon hiring. Attorney will keep a portion of the fees paid by Client in a trust account until their case(s) conclude.
Scope of Services and Additional Expenses for Re-file Cases and Motion for Continuance: Client acknowledges that the fee paid to Attorney does not cover the violation fine amount, court costs, DPS fees, Omni fees, or any other expenses. Furthermore, Client understands that Attorney's fee does not cover appeals, subpoenas, or appearances for non-issue hearings. If the client needs consultations with Attorney, Attorney will bill Client at an hourly rate of $360, with billing performed in fifteen-minute intervals. If the Court dismisses the client's case(s) and subsequently re-files them, the client will need to engage Attorney's services again and execute a new contract. If Client cannot attend a mandatory court appearance, Client may request Attorney to file a motion for continuance for an additional fee. Client must sign a separate contract with Attorney for this service. Additionally, Client acknowledges that the judge will decide whether to approve or deny the motion.
Attorney's Right to Withdraw and Consequences: Attorney may withdraw from representing Client if (a) Client fails to cooperate with Attorney, (b) Client fails to pay Attorney's fees or expenses, (c) Client engages in illegal or unethical conduct, (d) Attorney determines that continued representation would be unreasonable or inappropriate under the circumstances, or (e) Client discharges Attorney. If the Attorney withdraws or terminates the attorney-client relationship, Attorney will provide reasonable notice to Client and take steps to prevent foreseeable harm to Client's case. Client remains responsible for paying any fees and expenses incurred by Attorney up to the date of withdrawal or termination.
Authorization for Communication, Case Updates, Alerts, and Marketing: Client authorizes Attorney, including its attorneys, staff, agents, vendors, and service providers, to contact Client by mail, phone call, text message, email, prerecorded message, artificial voice, automated dialing system, or other automated technology at any contact information provided by Client or associated with Client. Client agrees that communications may be recurring and may concern Client’s current matter, past matters, active warrants, unresolved matters, potential future legal matters, including matters Client may not yet know about or has not yet hired Attorney to handle, court dates, resets, warrants, deadlines, payments, documents, case status, firm updates, legal services, promotions, alerts, or other marketing communications. Message and data rates may apply. Client may opt out of marketing communications, but any opt-out does not apply to necessary legal, case-related, transactional, alert, or administrative communications for any matter in which Client has hired Attorney, any active warrant or unresolved matter related to a case for which Client previously hired Attorney, or any potential legal matter identified by Attorney that may affect Client. If Client opts out of text messages or electronic communications, Client remains responsible for timely contacting Attorney and/or the Court to obtain court dates, resets, deadlines, case status, warrant information, and other case-related information. Consent to marketing communications is not required as a condition of hiring Attorney.
Court Appearances and Notification Obligation: Client shall promptly notify Attorney of any court appearance dates received via mail, phone, or any other means of notification not originating from Attorney's office. Client also agrees to attend all mandatory court appearances scheduled by the Court, Client, or Attorney, unless instructed otherwise by Attorney. Client understands that Client is responsible for knowing Court setting information and will periodically check with Attorney.
Authorization for Engagement of Independent Contract Attorneys: Client authorizes Attorney to engage independent contract attorneys to assist in the representation of Client’s case(s) when Attorney determines such assistance is appropriate, including due to docketing conflicts, scheduling needs, court coverage, workload, or other case-related needs. These attorneys are not members, partners, or employees of Attorney’s firm, but may appear, communicate, negotiate, reset, advise, or otherwise act on Client’s behalf under Attorney’s supervision and authority. Attorney will remain responsible for Client’s representation. Client should not interpret the use of an independent contract attorney as a referral to another firm or attorney. Client will not owe any additional attorney’s fees solely because Attorney uses an independent contract attorney, unless Client separately agrees in writing.
Verification of No Contest or Guilty Plea and Nonbondable Capias Warrants: Client verifies Client has not entered a plea on Client's cases or taken any other action which would prevent Attorney from representing Client. A Capias Warrant will occur if Client has entered a no-contest or guilty plea on Client's case(s) and Client has failed to make appropriate payments to the Court. If Client's case(s) are in Capias Warrant, Attorney cannot post a bond on Client's behalf, and Client's arrest warrant will remain active. Client understands and agrees Attorney is not responsible if Client is arrested because of Attorney's inability to post a bond on Client's behalf because Client's case(s) are in Capias Warrant status.
Authorization for Resetting of Client's Case(s) and Waiver of Rights: Client authorizes Attorney to reset Client's case(s) to a pretrial, jury, or judge trial. In some instances, Attorney may need to waive Client's right to defensive driving and deferred adjudication (probation) when resetting Client's case(s). Client affirmatively authorizes and permits Attorney to waive Client's rights to defensive driving and deferred adjudication (probation). Client authorizes Attorney to waive or request Deferred Adjudication or Defensive Driving on Client's behalf. Client also authorizes Attorney to enter a "no contest plea" if Attorney believes it is in Client's best interest. Client agrees and understands that if Client receives probation, deferred adjudication, or defensive driving, Client must comply with such terms established by the Court. Client understands that once Client enters a plea, Attorney is not obligated to continue appearing with Client at non-issue settings, show cause hearings, appeals, or any other post-plea setting.
Agreement for Attorney to Act as a Bail Bondsman: In addition to Client hiring Attorney for legal representation, Client also elects to hire Attorney as a bail bondsman to post surety bonds on Client's behalf to remove an arrest warrant. By Attorney also acting as Client's bail bondsman, Attorney, and Client are engaging in a separate business transaction. Because this arrangement between Attorney and Client involves a separate business transaction, Attorney advises and encourages Client to seek the advice of independent counsel regarding the terms of this transaction.
Conflict of Interest Acknowledgement and Waiver: Client acknowledges a potential conflict of interest with Attorney acting as bail bondsman. In case of bond forfeiture or writ forfeiture due to Client's failure to appear in Court or tardiness, Client and Attorney shall bear joint and several liability for any related obligations. Client agrees to waive any such conflict and understands a debt may be owed to Attorney if such forfeiture occurs. Client acknowledges the benefits and convenience of using Attorney for bond services over a bail bond company or posting a cash bond, and chooses to utilize Attorney’s services
Obligations Upon Nonappearance and Bond Forfeiture: Client understands that not appearing for their scheduled court date, or arriving late, may lead to an arrest warrant being issued. In such an event, Client agrees to execute a new agreement with Attorney and pay additional legal and bonding fees for continued representation. Furthermore, Client accepts the responsibility to reimburse Attorney for any expenses arising from a bond forfeiture or writ forfeiture due to Client's failure to appear. Should Attorney take legal action to recoup these expenses, Client agrees to pay all reasonable attorney's fees and court costs associated with such legal action. Client authorizes the release of Client's certified Certificate Of Death to Attorney as a qualified applicant with a direct and tangible interest in the record.
Responsibilities and Risks of Bonding Process: Client acknowledges that Attorney cannot post bonds or remove warrants until receiving the necessary signed paperwork and related bonds from Client. It is Client's responsibility to ensure that Attorney receives the signed documents. Attorney will make every effort to remove Client's arrest warrant promptly. Client understands and agrees Attorney is not liable if Client is arrested before Client's warrants are removed. Furthermore, Client agrees not to operate a motor vehicle or perform other activities which may lead to Client's arrest until Attorney notifies Client that Client's arrest warrant is removed. Client also recognizes that processing times for bonds vary across different courts, and there exists a risk of arrest during the interim where the court is yet to process Client’s bonds.
No Guarantees or Promises for Legal Outcome: Attorney makes no guarantees or promises regarding the outcome of Client's case. While Attorney will try to represent Client to the best of Attorney's abilities, the outcome of any legal matter is uncertain. Client understands Attorney's representation is not a guarantee of success or a particular outcome, and any statements made by Attorney regarding the potential outcome should not be construed as binding guarantees.
Limitation of Damages: If a material breach of this Agreement by Attorney occurs, both Attorney and Client recognize determining the actual damages caused by the breach would be difficult and expose Attorney to unforeseen risk. Client agrees that Client will limit damages to the fees paid by Client to Attorney. Client acknowledges this limitation of damages serves to reduce Attorney's risk of financial exposure and therefore allows Attorney to charge a lower flat fee to Client, which is beneficial to Client.
Invalid Provisions, Arbitration, and Dispute Resolution: If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, both Attorney and Client agree to remove said clause without affecting the remaining provisions. The parties will work together to create a valid and enforceable substitute provision that achieves the same intended effect as the removed provision. In case of any disputes or claims arising from this Agreement or its breach, Attorney and Client agree to settle them through binding arbitration with a single arbitrator per the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding, and the costs, including the arbitrator's fees, will be split equally between Attorney and Client.
Certification of Understanding and Agreement to Terms: By signing below, you certify that you fully understand everything stated in this Agreement and agree to all terms and conditions.

Consequences of a Harris County Criminal Court Conviction

If you have been charged with an offense in Harris County Criminal Court, you are probably well aware of at least some of the criminal penalties you could face, whether that includes Harris County Jail, extremely high fines and fees, community service, drug and alcohol counseling or probation. What you may not be as familiar with are the wide array of collateral consequences attached to a conviction in Harris County Criminal Court. While your Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer will work hard to help you avoid Harris County Jail and Harris County Criminal Records, there are many other consequences of a criminal conviction.

Additional Civil Penalties of a Houston Criminal Conviction – The civil penalties you could face following a conviction in Harris County Criminal Court are apart from the typical criminal consequences such as incarceration, fines or probation, yet can be truly life-altering. The civil actions which are triggered by a criminal conviction can include the loss or restriction of a hard-earned professional license, the inability to continue to receive student loans or any Medicaid or welfare benefits, the potential loss of voting rights, and even deportation for those with immigrant status—even those who currently hold permanent resident status. In some cases, a person who has been residing in publicly-funded housing may find themselves evicted following a criminal conviction.

Unfortunately, across the nation, United States judges are under no obligation to warn about these collateral consequences should the person be found guilty by trial or should they have decided to make an admission of guilt through a pre-arranged plea agreement. In other words, those who suffer a criminal conviction are facing two very distinct sets of consequences in the form of direct consequences and collateral consequences. The question of whether these consequences are warranted is one the courts have little interest in answering.

Social Consequences – Following the direct and collateral consequences of a criminal conviction most people will also find themselves suffering certain social consequences such as the loss of their employment or social stigma by friends, family or community members. Arrests and legal proceedings are normally considered public record in the United States, meaning the information which is available after such an incident can be extremely detrimental to the person it concerns. Even if, later on, the charges are found to be false, the social damage may already be done, with no way of undoing it. There are few, if any, legal remedies available for the myriad of collateral consequences which resulted from your criminal arrest, even if you are found to be innocent down the line.

Important Considerations – You will discuss your options with your Sullo & Sullo Houston Criminal Defense Attorney, and it is important that you factor in all the potential collateral consequences before making your decision on how to proceed. Your current and future career options must be weighed carefully, especially if you have worked hard for your present position through years of experience or considerable levels of higher education. Certain convictions can completely prohibit you from specific career options. As an example, school districts will not hire those convicted of a sex offense, no matter the circumstances surrounding the conviction. Agencies which regulate those who handle chemicals may automatically preclude someone who has a drug conviction. Your Sullo & Sullo Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer may be able to negotiate a plea which involves a lesser or different charge which will not end your employment opportunities in your field of expertise. A deferred adjudication may also keep your employer from considering your criminal charges in a negative light.

The Process of Harris County Criminal Court – Whether you are being charged with a relatively minor misdemeanor or a serious felony, it is essential that you protect your rights and your freedom by understanding the Texas criminal court process as well as by having an experienced Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer by your side. You need an attorney who is both a skilled negotiator as well as a knowledgeable, aggressive litigator. The Houston Criminal Defense Attorneys at Sullo & Sullo are both highly skilled negotiators and aggressive litigators. If your chances of winning the case are low, you might want to consider a plea bargain. A plea bargain can reduce the charges against you or reduce the potential penalties in return for your guilty plea. According to the Texas Department of Justice, as many as 90 percent of all criminal cases are ended through a plea bargain.

If, on the other hand, you are truly innocent of the charged criminal offense, or you believe there were extenuating circumstances which can mitigate the serious nature of your charges, you might choose to go to trial. Unfortunately, there are never guaranteed outcomes to a trial. If you are facing felony charges, you will have 12 jurors, however if you are facing misdemeanor charges, you will have six jurors for your trial. Negotiation proceedings are often complex, making it imperative to have skilled legal assistance throughout the process. Even before you reach the negotiation or trial stage, you have rights during the investigation and arrest process as well. Perhaps your constitutional rights were violated during your arrest, or perhaps you were not read your Miranda rights following your arrest.

Protecting Your Rights and Your Freedom – In order to increase your chances of having your charges reduced or dismissed, you need the assistance of a highly experienced Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer who can help you establish a strategy for your case, providing information and advice for the steps you should take. The Sullo & Sullo Houston Criminal Defense Attorneys have helped many people fight Harris County criminal charges and we believe in getting to know you as well as your specific situation in order to present your case in the most positive light possible. Having a knowledgeable Houston Criminal Defense Attorney to represent you in Harris County Criminal Court can make all the difference in the outcome of your criminal charges. Having the very Best Criminal Defense Attorney in Harris County helps level the playing field between you and the Harris County District Attorney who represents the state of Texas. Do not wait—contact a Sullo & Sullo Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer today.
