A bird, whether it is tied down by a thread or a chain, still cannot fly. ~St. John of the Cross, Spanish mystic and monk, 16th century
Houston criminal defense trial lawyer Jim Sullivan has over 25 years of criminal defense law experience. He has successfully represented over 3,000 clients. Jim Sullivan is also board certified in Juvenile Law and has received good results on trial cases.
Jim Sullivan knows how heavy and burdensome a criminal conviction can be in weighing down a person’s ability to succeed, to fly, indeed to soar in life. A felony conviction especially can, in effect, clip a person’s wings so that their life becomes an endless struggle to obtain and maintain a good job, to pay the bills, to keep a roof over their head, to put food on the table, to support their children. Much like a scarlet letter of shame in the colonial days, the public record of a criminal conviction can have lifelong negative consequences. Therefore, before pleading guilty to time served just to get the case over with, you should think about the serious consequences. Talk to an experienced criminal defense trial attorney about your options before receiving that conviction. If you need criminal defense representation, call attorneys Jim Sullivan & Associates at 281-546-6428.
