Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer

If you have been arrested for a criminal offense in Houston, the criminal defense attorney who you select to represent you can make all the difference. You want a knowledgeable, locally based defense attorney who has helped many clients navigate the criminal justice system and can offer you trusted guidance based on experience. Attorney Attorney Nicholas R. Westbrook aggressively defends the rights of individuals charged with criminal offenses, including misdemeanors and felonies. If you have been charged with a parole violation you need to consult an attorney immediately.

We also help clients put their past behind them through the legal processes of sealing criminal records and expunging criminal records. If you have a criminal conviction on your record, it can make it much more difficult to get a new job, gain admission to a college or obtain credit.

You may be eligible to have a criminal record sealed if you were charged with certain offenses and subsequently completed deferred adjudication. Whether there is a waiting period to apply depends on the criminal offense. The Westbrook Law Firm can review your eligibility based on the offense and file a petition of nondisclosure on your behalf and have your record sealed. If you qualify and obtain an order of expunction or expungement, you can in many cases truthfully say that you do not have a criminal record.
