Get Immediate Legal Help
The attorneys at Danford Law Firm, PLLC, have a reputation for fighting for the rights of our clients since first opening our doors more than 20 years ago. Led by founder Harold Danford, we have unsurpassed success in aggressively representing thousands of clients facing DWI or DUI charges. We now take that tenacious approach and help individuals facing criminal charges or commercial vehicle violations, as well as victims in car accidents and other personal injury cases.
Don't Jeopardize Your Future
When charged or arrested in Kerr County or in nearby San Angelo or San Antonio, you need an experienced attorney who can protect your constitutional rights. A conviction can be life-changing, impacting you in the following ways:
- Substantial fines
- Possible time in prison
- Loss of driver's license and professional licenses in DWI cases
- Probation
- Endangering present and future job prospects
- Loss of educational opportunities
While we are proud Texans who are born and raised here, we know that Texas police and the justice system are zealous in their approach to enforcement. We skillfully handle DWI cases involving minors, cases involving manslaughter chargeswhile operating a motor vehicle and cases involving drug-related charges. These charges are too important to not have a lawyer who has the knowledge, experience and commitment to defend your rights during each step of the legal process.
Let Us Put Our Experience To Work
A former prosecutor, attorney Danford knows how to anticipate and effectively respond to the strategies and tactics employed by the state. He is also the only former director of the Texas Department of Public Safety's DWI/ALR program, a statewide law enforcement position, who now defends people charged with drinking and driving. He is first and foremost a trial attorney — he has argued hundreds of cases in court and prepares all his cases as if they will go to trial. Attorney Harold J. Danford, attorney Jonathan R. O'Hara and our entire team are the professionals you will wish to obtain when facing legal issues.
Recent Successes
Habitual Felony DWI — Dismissed
Our client was facing 25 years to life for his sixth DWI. As you might imagine, the prosecutors wanted to send him away forever. But we filed a motion to quash the indictment for lack of a speedy trial and had the case thrown out.
Aggravated Assault — Dismissed
An individual we represented was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a first-degree felony punishable by five to 99 years or life in prison. The prosecutors thought they had a strong case because of statements our client made to the police. But we filed a motion to suppress, arguing that he was illegally interrogated. Our victory at the hearing led to dismissal of the case.
Felony DWI — Dismissed
The client we represented was facing a felony DWI and the prospect of a felony conviction following him around for the rest of his life. We filed a motion to suppress, arguing that the police had no right to stop his car that night. The judge agreed and dismissed the case.
Assault — Not Guilty
Our client faced accusations of assault family violence, a charge that can result in up to a year in jail and a lifetime ban on the purchase or possession of firearms. We took the case to trial, arguing our client acted in self-defense and highlighting all of the inconsistencies in the state's story. We won the case.
Felony DWI — Dismissed
Charged with a felony DWI after the car she and others were traveling in was involved in an accident, we filed a motion on behalf of our client to suppress, arguing that the police had no probable cause to believe our client was intoxicated or that she was even the one driving the car. The judge agreed. The state appealed the decision, but we won that as well and the case was dismissed.
