PERSONALIZED CRIMINAL DEFENSE IN AUSTIN AND CENTRAL TEXAS

No two cases, or people, are the same, and at the Slaughter Law Firm we don't treat them like they are. We take pride in providing personalized service and treating all our clients with the dignity, compassion and respect they deserve.

​

BEING ARRESTED DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE GUILTY

Because you've been arrested for a crime does not mean you're guilty, and it certainly does not mean that you should give up. Criminal charges and convictions can have immediate, negative, consequences for your current career, finances, and relationships, as well as lasting consequences that can affect your future. Obviously, you could lose your freedom and be sentenced to serve time in jail, or, worse, prison. However, even a term of probation can follow you for the rest of your life. Therefore, it is critical that you meet with a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible after an arrest for any alleged criminal conduct, whether your arrest was for an offense as serious as murder or minor as shoplifting.

​

NOT ALL CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAW FIRMS ARE THE SAME

​

Not all criminal defense law firms are the same. Some criminal defense law firms in the Austin area boast of their "reasonable" fees, and their web sites overuse words like "fight" and "aggressive." This is an obvious ploy to appeal to a potential client's emotional state rather than their rational thought processes. Further, their business model relies on accepting dozens, even hundreds, of clients. Clients risk becoming another file in a pile of files. Worse, with so many files there is less time to provide personalized, client-centered, service and adequately prepare for negotiations and the looming legal battle with the prosecutor.

​

YOU ARE NEVER JUST ANOTHER NUMBER

At the Slaughter Law Firm, you are never just another number. By maintaining a manageable number of clients, every client is ensured that resources and manpower are focused specifically on promoting their best interests. We'll gather the details from your arrest and establish the best defense possible to gain a favorable outcome for your case. Our goal, in every case, is to protect your rights and obtain the best possible outcome for you.

If you or a loved one has been arrested, whether for a small misdemeanor or a serious felony, get in touch with us to set up a free initial consultation to inquire whether our services are right for you.

Payment plans are available in many situations.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Jason

JD represented me on 2 of my cases recently and could not have done a better job ! He’s professional , takes it very seriously and truly cares about his clients! I believe he is One of the few out to truly serve justice and help the people that may not have had the chance otherwise to get what’s fair to them! That's very rare these days and I feel so extremely lucky to have him on my side! I will recommend him to anyone including friends, family, anybody. He's the only call you need to make!

Savannah

Mr. Slaughter represented me in two cases recently. He was a FANTASTIC attorney, and handled everything professionally from start to finish. If you find yourself in a bind, HE IS THE ATTORNEY YOU NEED! I never stepped foot in a court room, (one was a Felony). He definitely knows his way around the legal system! He even got a dismissal for my case!! He works with you if you need it, and is VERY understanding!! Really appreciate everything he was able to do for me!!

Bassem

I hired JD to help me with my case in Austin, Texas. I don't even live in the state, however he took me on and followed up with me diligently. I am writing after the conclusion of my case; he was able to get me a complete dismissal, which is the holy grail of any result. JD is a fantastic lawyer and I'm fortunate that he accepted my case. He is a trustworthy man and his word is his bond. Would recommend highly.
