Local Insights on Criminal Defense in Amarillo, TX

In Amarillo, navigating the complexities of the criminal justice system can be daunting, especially with the unique challenges faced by residents in the Texas Panhandle. Local law enforcement agencies, such as the Amarillo Police Department and the Potter County Sheriff's Office, are dedicated to maintaining public safety, but this can sometimes lead to aggressive enforcement of laws that may leave individuals feeling overwhelmed and vulnerable. Understanding your rights in this environment is crucial.

Many residents may find themselves facing charges related to drug offenses or DWI, which are particularly prevalent in our area. The consequences of these charges can be severe, impacting not only your freedom but also your employment and family life. The Amarillo community is known for its strong values, and a criminal record can tarnish your reputation and future opportunities.

Additionally, local resources such as the Amarillo Municipal Court provide essential information about the legal process, but they may not always offer the personalized guidance you need. This is where our firm steps in. We understand the local landscape and the specific pain points that Amarillo residents face when dealing with criminal charges. Our commitment is to provide you with tailored legal support that addresses your unique situation, ensuring you are well-informed and prepared to tackle the challenges ahead.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for a free consultation. We are dedicated to defending your rights and helping you move forward with your life in Amarillo.

    "He will go above and beyond to get the results that you are seeking."
    Chris is an outstanding lawyer. He fought hard for my husband to get his charge for a DWI dropped and of course, he was successful in doing so. He cares about his clients and will go above and beyond to get the results that you are seeking.

    "I could not have received any better counsel."
    Mr. Hesse assisted me as local counsel on a very difficult federal case. I could not have received any better counsel. On time, on task, and on the spot with guidance and advice. Highly Recommended!
    - Scott
    "Chris was an absolute professional in the courtroom"
    I sat 2nd chair with Mr. Hesse on a Possession of Marijuana case in April of 2014. Chris was an absolute professional in the courtroom. He was able to narrow down on the proper issues during jury selection and succeeded with the suppression of the Marijuana in the case. Judges are reluctant to grant suppressions, but Chris was able to get it done! At that point, the government had no other option than to dismiss the case. Had it not been for Chris' ability to spot a fatal flaw in the government's case, his client may have been wrongfully convicted. I have no doubt Chris will work hard on your case to expose the government just as he did in our case.
