Conroe Criminal Defense Lawyer James Sullivan has a proven record (see below) in getting serious felony cases no billed (dismissed) by the Grand Jury.
- Grand Jury and, if indicted,
- 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 may have an 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, Conroe Criminal Lawyer James 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 20 of the 55 felony cases that have been no billed since November 2008.
Range of punishment for felonies
include: 1° Felony (5 yrs to Life in prison), 2° Felony (2-20 yrs in
prison), 3° Felony (2-10 yrs in prison) and SJF (6 months to 2 yrs in
state jail).
