Fort Worth Criminal Defense Lawyer
20+ Years of Criminal Justice Experience to Strengthen Your Defense
A criminal conviction could lead to a lifetime of consequences if not resolved appropriately. Felonies could lead to years of your life in prison, and even small misdemeanors could leave a mark on your criminal record that may limit future opportunities in your life. With the help of an experienced criminal defense lawyer, however, you may be able to combat harsh charges and possibly obtain a reduction of your charges, a plea deal that is favorable to you, or even a dismissal of your case entirely.
Mr. Shipley has more than 20 years of criminal justice experience, including former law enforcement experience and 14 years of serving in the FBI. As a result, he has dealt with a wide range of misdemeanor and felony cases, and his investigative skills in various criminal justice roles can prove a unique advantage in strengthening your defense against the prosecution’s (and law enforcement’s) likely arguments against you. Let a veteran-owned criminal law firm fight for your defense; The Shipley Law Firm, PLLC takes on all criminal cases, from drug and alcohol offenses to weapons crimes to assault.

What a Criminal Defense Attorney Can Do for You
There are countless reasons you will benefit from hiring a private criminal defense lawyer. For one, a private attorney will be more invested in your defense than a public defender who has been assigned impersonally to your case.

Mr. Shipley in particular brings unique criminal justice experience as a former FBI agent and law enforcement officer. He can conduct skilled investigations of the relevant evidence and structure a defense that anticipates the prosecution’s and law enforcement’s tactics for pinning you.
