The state of Texas considers evading arrest as a serious criminal offense. There are cases where the police will charge drivers with evading arrest simply because they were not able to stop promptly when the police signaled them to pull over.
If you find yourself in such a situation or in other circumstances where evading charges are possible, it is vitally important that you contact us at The Goolsby Law Firm for a criminal defense lawyer. Our skilled and experienced legal counsels will attempt to show the court that the evading arrest charge brought against you was simply a misconception on the part of the police.
It is vital that the criminal defense attorney you choose has the ability to handle evading arrest cases successfully and to request the right evidence, which will prove your innocence. Sadly, many drivers who find themselves in the above mentioned situation automatically assume that the court will believe their version of the story and will not suffer any consequences.
Take note that our present justice system is imperfect and even complete innocence may be insufficient to avoid criminal liabilities.
Evading arrest is the offense charged on those that the police believe did not willingly submit themselves to an arrest. In the state of Texas, evading arrest can be considered as a felony, although the usual charge is a misdemeanor. The evidence and police report that are presented in court are not always true and correct.
The Goolsby Law Firm will use their skills and resources to get the necessary evidence that will demonstrate your innocence to the court.
