Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Who Take Your Charges As Seriously As You Do

If you are facing a criminal charge, especially if it is your first experience with the justice system, you may feel overwhelmed by how unfamiliar everything is and worried about the consequences a conviction could bring. Not only is it important to hire an aggressive advocate to represent you, but it is also essential that the attorney you hire understands exactly what is at stake. If you are convicted of a crime, you face losing your freedom, your job, your reputation, and possibly your family. You need a firm that will help protect you from those losses.

The attorneys at Wilton Law Group have dedicated a combined total of 15 years to providing robust criminal defense representation to individuals in Collin County and throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, including Dallas, Denton, Tarrant, Rockwall and Kaufman counties. We understand that facing criminal charges in Collin County – whether for a misdemeanor, felony, DWI, drug offense, violent crime or white-collar crime – is a deeply stressful event. Our primary focus is ensuring that every client receives an attorney equipped with hands-on involvement and essential local court knowledge.

• Misdemeanors and felonies: From petty offenses to major criminal cases.

• Other alcohol-related charges: Including DWI,  public intoxication and minor in possession/consumption, and cases where the victim wishes to have the case dropped.

• Violation of a protective order: Guiding you through the system and contesting conditions that restrict you from seeing your family and other critical rights.

Beyond Collin County and the DFW metro area, our statewide reputation is well-earned; attorney Wilton has represented clients across Texas. Clients respect her knowledge and skill in the courtroom and seek us out regardless of the county where the charge was filed.

The Welfare Of Our Criminal Defense Clients Comes First

The cornerstone of our success is the quality relationship that our firm maintains with clients. Our clients are treated with integrity and respect for their needs, goals and objectives. Several things that set us apart from other firms include:

• Personal commitment: If you hire our attorneys, you get our attorneys, not a paralegal or someone less experienced in criminal defense. Our attorneys take a hands-on approach to managing each case, ensuring your defense is built with careful attention to detail from the very beginning. If you hire Sallye, you get Sallye.
• Local advantage: We leverage our deep familiarity with the local courts and with Texas legal procedure to anticipate challenges and procedures specific to your jurisdiction.

Our lawyers focus on intelligent, aggressive and ethical legal representation and we pledge to listen to you and to protect your rights.

How We Protect Your Rights During A Criminal Case

The attorneys at our firm act immediately to protect your constitutional rights and build a foundation for your defense. This includes:

• Challenging the arrest: Ensuring proper procedure was followed and probable cause existed
• Suppression of evidence: Filing motions to exclude illegally obtained evidence from your case
• Strategic negotiations: Working to secure dismissals or favorable plea agreements
• Courtroom advocacy: Taking your case to trial when necessary and presenting a compelling defense to the jury

We handle every criminal defense we take on in Collin County and the Dallas area with the goal of securing the best possible outcome for your future.

Safeguarding Your Privacy During Criminal Investigations

If you are being investigated for a white collar crime such as wire fraud, the stress of a criminal investigation can be as severe as the charge itself. Our lawyers intervene early to manage communication with law enforcement, ensure your rights against self-incrimination are respected, and work to protect your personal and professional reputation before and after charges are formally filed.
