Harris County Criminal Lawyer James Sullivan Knows the Value of a Good Defense

Houston Criminal Lawyers

Harris County Criminal Lawyer James Sullivan knows the value of a good legal defense. With 30 years of legal experience, Sullivan has represented thousands of clients and caused hundreds of cases to be dismissed, no billed by the grand jury or found not guilty by a jury.

A cynic knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. -Oscar Wilde, writer (1854-1900)

The countless clients who were satisfied with his representation know the value of a good legal defense because their freedom, livelihood and family life were saved. Too many accused pay too little for their legal defense, get what they pay for and it ultimately costs them more than they can afford.  Others pay too much for their legal defense by lawyers who base their legal fees on the potential client's income or residential area code. These same lawyers may charge an exorbitant flat fee which includes a trial, knowing that most criminal cases will not need a trial.

Sullivan offers legal services that are reasonable and fair. James Sullivan cares about his clients and works hard to get the best result for them.

James Sullivan graduated from Baylor University in 1990 with a degree in Journalism, the ideal degree for investigating, discovering and telling winning stories in court. In 1993, Sullivan graduated from South Texas College of Law, which is nationally recognized as the top law school for trial advocacy.

James Sullivan later graduated from Gerry Spence’s Trial Lawyers College in Wyoming. Founded in 1994, it is the most selective and prestigious trial advocacy program in America. The methods taught at TLC are not taught anywhere else. The 1,150 graduates form an extremely unique community of the most accomplished trial lawyers in the United States.

Harris County Criminal Lawyer James Sullivan

Houston Criminal Lawyer James Sullivan

Harris County criminal lawyer James Sullivan represents and fights for those who have lost their way in life. So many people have been misled by culture, media and advertising that happiness can only be obtained by buying stuff and surrounding themselves by meaningless materialism. They live above their means and go into debt that they cannot hope to ever repay. Their mindless quest for happiness ends in increased stress, anxiety and even divorce. Others steal and swindle to get their stuff.

Sullivan defends those who have fallen short of perfection from the wrath of those who believe they have attained it.

Houston and Harris county criminal defense attorney James Sullivan often represents adults and juveniles on theft related offenses. Last week, he represented two different juveniles in JP court on class C theft cases for shoplifting less than $50 worth of items from stores. Last year, he represented a woman who took advantage of her position as an accountant to embezzle over $150,000 from her employer. This year, he represented a man who stole over $90,000. No matter the amount of the theft, a conviction for theft can ruin your life and negatively affect you for a lifetime.

It is better to be a child of God than king of the whole world. ~St. Aloysius Gonzaga, Italian Jesuit, 16th century

Attorney James Sullivan works to resolve theft cases so that a person can later get their criminal record expunged or sealed (non-disclosure) to the public.

Harris County Criminal Lawyer James Sullivan Gets Felony Cases Dismissed by Grand Jury

Houston Criminal Lawyer James Sullivan has a proven record (see below) in getting serious felony cases no billed (dismissed) by the Grand Jury. 

When a person is accused of a felony offense, there may be the possibility of his defense attorney winning his felony case at the Grand Jury level.  Depending on the facts and circumstances of the case, this may or may not be a viable option, so it is important to talk to an experienced criminal defense attorney.  By utilizing this strategy, the accused in effect has two opportunities to win his case before a jury:

1. Grand Jury and, if indicted,
2. Jury Trial

If the Grand Jury votes that probable cause (i.e. a probability) does not exist to believe that the accused committed the offense, the case is no billed (dismissed).  If the Grand Jury votes that probable cause does exist, then the case is true billed (indicted).  If a case is no billed, the accused has the immediate legal right to seek an expunction of his criminal record.  If a case is indicted, then the accused may have to have a Jury Trial in order to get the best result.   A Jury Trial is more expensive and involves much more time and legal work.

Because prosecutors generally seek to present felony cases to the Grand Jury between the first and second court setting, it is extremely important to hire a defense attorney right away.  Unless a defense attorney requests that the prosecutor hold the case from the Grand Jury in order to prepare a defense packet, the prosecutor will seek an indictment from the Grand Jury soon after the felony charge is filed.

Once an accused is indicted, this option is no longer available.  Therefore, time is of the essence in retaining a knowledgeable defense attorney.

Since 1994, Houston Criminal Lawyer Jim Sullivan has worked to get countless felony cases no billed by the Grand Jury.  These felony cases include Sexual Assault of a Child, Attempted Murder, Aggravated Robbery, Aggravated Assault of a Public Servant, Aggravated Assault, Injury to a Child, Forgery and Burglary of a Habitation among others.  The graph below lists just the 20+ felony cases that have been no billed between November 2008 to September 2012.  Each client then had the right to get his case expunged.

This strategy is underutilized by other attorneys. Some lawyers do not understand the process or how to construct a persuasive defense packet.  Jim Sullivan knows lawyers who have practiced criminal law for over 20 years but have never fought a felony at the grand jury level.  Other attorneys do not do so because they know that they can charge much more money to go to trial.   Court-appointed lawyers are paid by each court appearance they make, so the longer the case lasts the more money they make.  Therefore, very few are willing to do this.  James Sullivan cares about his clients and wants to get them the best result in as short amount of time as possible while charging a reasonable fee, so he considers this option on all of his felony cases.

Harris County Criminal Lawyer James Sullivan Can Represent You

Houston Criminal Lawyer

Houston, Texas & Harris County Criminal Lawyer James Sullivan represents people accused of misdemeanor and felony offenses, including all 3g offenses. If you need a serious Harris county criminal defense trial attorney, call Sullivan at 281-546-6428 for a free consultation.

What Are “3g Offenses” under Texas Criminal Law?

“3g offenses” are those felony offenses listed in the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure § 42.12 Sec. 3(g).  The Texas legislature in its collective wisdom decided that these felony offenses deserved harsher punishment–murder, capital murder, indecency with a child, aggravated kidnapping, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, aggravated robbery, offenses under the Controlled Substances Act involving use of a child or a second drug free zone offense, injury to a child, injury to an elderly person, injury to a disabled person, sexual performance by a child, or offenses where there is a finding of a deadly weapon.

How are 3g offenses different?

3g offenses are different in several ways–

• Judges cannot grant regular probation to those convicted of 3g offenses, however they can still in many cases grant deferred adjudication.  At trial, only a jury can give regular probation.
• Judges cannot reduce bail on a 3g offense without giving notice to the district attorney and having a hearing.
• If a person is sentenced to prison time on a 3g offense, he is not eligible for parole until he serves at least one-half of the sentence or 30 years, whichever is less.  Furthermore, the person cannot be released on parole until he has served two complete years even if the original sentence was for less than four years.
• Regardless of the length of the prison sentence, the person is not eligible for bail if he decides to appeal the decision of the trial court.

Relevant Statutes

Texas Code of Criminal Procedure 42.12 Sec. 3g.

Text of subsection as amended by Acts 2007, 80th Leg., R.S., Ch. 405, Sec. 1

(F) Section 29.03, Penal Code (Aggravated robbery);

(G) Chapter 481, Health and Safety Code, for which punishment is increased under:

(i) Section 481.140 [Use of Child in Commission of Offense], Health and Safety Code; or

(ii) Section 481.134(c), (d), (e), or (f), Health and Safety Code [Relating to Drug Free Zones], if it is shown that the defendant has been previously convicted of an offense for which punishment was increased under any of those subsections;

(H) Section 22.011, Penal Code (Sexual assault);

or

(I) Section 22.04(a)(1), Penal Code (Injury to a child, elderly individual, or disabled individual), if the offense is punishable as a felony of the first degree and the victim of the offense is a child; or

(2) to a defendant when it is shown that a deadly weapon as defined in Section 1.07, Penal Code, was used or exhibited during the commission of a felony offense or during immediate flight therefrom, and that the defendant used or exhibited the deadly weapon or was a party to the offense and knew that a deadly weapon would be used or exhibited. On an affirmative finding under this subdivision, the trial court shall enter the finding in the judgment of the court.

Houston Probation Violation Lawyer James Sullivan Fights the Government

Harris County Probation Lawyer

Houston criminal lawyer James Sullivan represents people charged with all kinds of criminal offenses, including violation of probation or a State's motion to adjudicate guilt. He fights against the perceived perfectionism the government requires of people who find themselves on the wrong side of the law.  There are many rules that probationers are expected to follow. Many of these rules include the payment of supervisory fees and court costs. Other rules include monthly reporting to probation, attending certain classes, performing a certain number of hours of community service, etc.

Obviously, it can be quite difficult for a  family's breadwinner who is working overtime to support his family to also be able to attend the classes or to perform the community service hours, etc.  Sometimes, the choice comes down to losing his job or attending probation. This Catch-22 can have dire consequences--report to probation and lose your job and the family be evicted or stay at work and be considered an absconder for failing to report to probation.  In these dire economic times, when millions of people cannot find work, this can be a very difficult choice. Some judges expect probationers to follow their probation to the letter, i.e. to be perfect.  Perfectionism is an impossible goal. A Houston probation violation attorney often fights to persuade the judge to keep his clients on probation.

If you want a reputable Harris County Probation Violator Defense Lawyer, call Attorney James Sullivan at 281-546-6428 for a free consultation.
