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.

theLEGALspotlight: Finding a Houston Criminal Attorney

How to Know When You Need a Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer – Many people feel that if the criminal offense they are charged with is relatively minor, they can skip calling a Houston criminal defense attorney. Others feel that even a felony charge may not necessarily dictate that a Houston criminal lawyer be contacted, as the negotiations will be fairly straightforward. In fact, it is imperative that you understand just how serious the consequences of your criminal offense charges can be. By consulting an experienced criminal lawyer in Houston, Texas as quickly as possible, you will be able to have your charges thoroughly assessed, and a “game plan” worked out as far as the best way to proceed. You may also be able to avoid Harris County criminal court records and time in a Harris County jail. Many Houston criminal attorneys specialize in certain offenses which can be a great benefit to you and your future.

What Do Criminal Defense Lawyers Do? A Houston criminal defense attorney will represent you if you are charged with a misdemeanor criminal offense or a felony criminal offense. A misdemeanor offense is less serious than a felony, but still serious, as you could face Harris County jail, significant fines and fees, and you could have the offense on your Harris County criminal records for all to see. A felony criminal offense is more serious—you could end up in prison for more than a year, for life, or you could even face the death penalty, depending on the offense.

A knowledgeable Houston criminal lawyer knows the criminal laws in the state of Texas, as well as the federal criminal laws pertaining to your criminal offense. Some common misdemeanor charges include: petty theft, prostitution, public intoxication, simple assault, reckless driving, trespass, vandalism and first-time possession of small amounts of marijuana and certain other drugs. Felony offenses can include: murder, attempted murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, treason, other sex crimes, aggravated battery, arson, certain types of fraud, possession of certain types of illegal drugs, grand larceny, grand theft and intent to distribute certain types of and quantities of illegal drugs.

How Will a Criminal Defense Lawyer Help? There are many different ways a Houston criminal defense lawyer will work on your behalf to lessen the potential negative consequences of your charges. Your Houston criminal defense lawyer is both a skilled negotiator and an aggressive, hard-hitting litigator when the situation warrants. A Houston criminal defense lawyer is the one person you can count on to defend your rights and your future. If he or she is unable to prove your innocence, then the strategy will likely be to reduce the charges or lessen the sentence. Your criminal lawyer in Houston, Texas can deal with the Harris County District Attorney on your behalf, likely with much better results.

Negotiating a felony charge down to a misdemeanor can make a huge difference in your sentence, or could, at a minimum, ensure you are placed at a better facility, or one closer to your family members. If the charges are a misdemeanor, your attorney will advocate for fines or community service over jail time. While there is never a guarantee that the outcome of your criminal charges will be favorable, it is essential that you have an experienced Houston criminal defense attorney by your side who has a thorough understanding of how the courts work.

According to the FBI, across the nation it was estimated that law enforcement made nearly 11 million arrests in 2016. About 515,000 of these arrests were for violent crimes, while nearly 1.4 million of the arrests were for property crimes. The highest number of criminal offense arrests were for drug violations (nearly 1.6 million). Overall, the arrest rate for the U.S. in 2016 was 3,298.5 arrests per 100,000 inhabitants, with the arrest rate for violent crimes (murder, non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery and aggravated assault) at about 160 per 100,000 inhabitants. In 2016, nearly 70 percent of all those arrested were white, about 26 percent were black, and the remainder were other races. No one ever thinks the day will come when they are forced to call a criminal defense lawyer, however that day does come for many adults living in the United States as well as for those in the Houston area. In fact, the state of Texas reports over a million crimes annually.

Don’t Navigate the Texas Criminal Justice System Alone – When you look at these statistics you can see that you could easily be one of the unfortunate people who have criminal charges leveled against them and desperately need the services of a Houston criminal law attorney. Maybe you committed the crime, maybe you are completely innocent or maybe there were extenuating circumstances surrounding the crime. Whatever your situation, the Texas criminal justice system can be a very frightening place to be on your own. Further, criminal law is a highly specialized area of the law. If you’ve been charged with a criminal offense you certainly want a knowledgeable Houston criminal defense lawyer from Sullo & Sullo by your side from start to finish.

Why You Are at a Disadvantage in the Court Systems – Literally thousands of people are convicted ever single year of crimes they did not commit. Our current justice system puts any person accused of a crime at a distinct disadvantage as they face a state prosecutor with nearly unlimited resources and a jury which is quick to presume guilt. Few defendants walk into a courtroom with a level playing field and the only way you can increase the odds that your future will not be forever altered is by ensuring you have a Harris County law firm with a solid reputation firmly in your corner. Whatever the crime you are charged with, your Houston criminal defense attorney must have the aggressiveness and skill-set necessary to determine the best defense and minimize the damage to your life and your future. Some of the criminal offenses a person can be charged with include:

Murder and attempted murder
Assault and battery
Child abuse
Domestic violence
DUI/DWI
Robbery, burglary, or theft
Sex crimes
White collar crimes
Kidnapping
Other violent crimes

Why You Must Act Quickly When Charges are Filed – There will come a point when you will have a bail hearing and a judge will decide whether you will be allowed to post a bond and be released until your trial or, bail could be refused and you could end up in jail for a very long time until your trial begins. Having a Houston criminal defense attorney who is highly experienced in criminal law by your side at your bail hearing could very well make the difference in whether you are released at this time. For the best criminal defense attorney who will work hard to help you avoid Texas criminal records and Harris County Jail, contact a Houston criminal lawyer today.

Harris County Arrests and being taken to a Harris County Jail can be a very frightening experience. It is normal that you could be feeling anxious, stressed, frustrated and unsure of what you need to do in order to achieve the best possible outcome. Having Texas Criminal Records can have far-reaching—even life-altering—consequences. To avoid this if at all possible, you need a Houston Criminal Defense Attorney from Sullo & Sullo. We can try to negotiate with the Harris County District Attorney on your behalf, working hard to minimize the fallout from a Harris County Criminal Court conviction. When you are facing government-funded prosecutors and jurors who are likely eager to assume you are guilty, it is impossible to mount the kind of defense your charges require without legal assistance from a reputable Houston Criminal Attorney from Sullo & Sullo.

DWI in Texas/DUI in Texas – Perhaps you have been charged with a DWI in Texas or DUI in Texas. A DWI in Texas can be a very serious issue, whether it is a DWI in Texas First Offense or a subsequent offense. You will likely be required to attend an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) Hearing in order to determine whether you will be allowed to keep your driver’s license until your criminal trial. Perhaps the police officer told you that you were required to take the Field Sobriety Tests—which is not true. Or, perhaps you there were factors which caused you to fail the Breathalyzer Tests. You may have chosen not to take Breathalyzer Tests or Blood Alcohol Tests, and, if so, you may be asking questions like “Is a DWI a Felony in Texas?”, or “What is DWI vs DUI in Texas?”. It can be beneficial to speak to a Houston DWI Attorney from Sullo & Sullo.

The Stages of a Criminal Case – If the police believe you committed a crime, they will begin investigating the circumstances surrounding the crime. Witnesses will be interviewed, and any evidence available will be collected by the prosecutor with a goal of using that evidence against you. Once the police believe they have enough evidence against you, they will likely ask a judge to sign a warrant for your arrest. If you have an idea that the police are investigating you, it is always better to speak to an experienced Houston Criminal Defense Attorney as quickly as possible—even before formal charges have been filed.

If you already have a Sullo & Sullo Houston Criminal Defense Attorney in your corner before charges are filed, your Houston Criminal Attorney can have everything in place for bail, and may even be able to go with you to turn yourself in rather than your being arrested—perhaps even publicly arrested. Having an aggressive Houston Criminal Defense Attorney on your side at this point in your criminal case could well make the difference between whether you will remain behind bars until your trial or be allowed to post bail and be free until your trial.

Your Arraignment and Plea Bargain – Your Houston Criminal Lawyer from Sullo & Sullo will be by your side during your arraignment—a hearing where you will enter your plea. Following your arraignment, the Harris County District Attorney, you and your attorney will appear at a preliminary hearing. At this hearing, the Harris County District Attorney will attempt to show the judge that there is enough evidence against you to proceed to trial. Your Houston Criminal Attorney will argue the charges against you should be dropped, whether due to no probable cause or problems with the arrest or search.

If probable cause can be established, your Sullo & Sullo Houston Criminal Attorney may—with your permission—attempt to negotiate a plea bargain on your behalf. The plea bargain could result in some of your charges being dropped, having your charges reduced, or even advocating for a more moderate sentence in return for your guilty plea. Your Houston Criminal Defense Attorney will explain the alternatives and the consequences of a plea bargain, making sure you completely understand your choices.

Will Your Case Go to Trial? Should your Houston Criminal Defense Attorney be unable to reach a plea agreement you feel is acceptable, then a trial date will be set. Many Houston Criminal Defense Attorneys simply do not have sufficient experience to feel comfortable in a courtroom, to think and speak quickly, and to change strategies when necessary. A Houston Criminal Defense Attorney from Sullo & Sullo will work aggressively for the best possible outcome for your specific circumstances—we have the resources necessary to mount an uncompromising defense on your behalf.

While many Houston Criminal Defense Attorneys have little experience in front of a judge and jury, our Houston Criminal Lawyers are completely comfortable in a courtroom.
