Specialties

As a criminal justice attorney firm in Fort Worth and Dallas, Dunham & Jones concentrates almost exclusively on criminal defense. Their attorneys regularly handle DWI defense, domestic violence and family violence cases, drug crimes and possession charges, theft crimes, weapons charges, and a wide range of felony and misdemeanor offenses. This focused approach allows the firm to stay current on Texas criminal law, new case decisions, and local procedures that can make a critical difference in a client’s outcome.

The firm also has substantial experience with sex crimes defense, assault charges, crimes against children, online solicitation of a minor, human trafficking allegations, and other highly sensitive and complex cases. These situations often carry harsh penalties and intense stigma, and the attorneys at Dunham & Jones handle them with discretion, thorough preparation, and a strong emphasis on client communication and emotional support. Reviews from former clients highlight attorneys who listen carefully, investigate discrepancies, and push hard for dismissals or significant reductions in charges.

A key part of the Dunham & Jones approach is working toward case dismissals, reductions, and record clearing whenever possible. The firm’s stated goal in many matters is to help clients avoid a permanent criminal record or lengthy probation, and when the law permits, to pursue options that may lead to expunging or sealing arrests and related records from public view. This strategic focus on the long-term impact of criminal charges sets Dunham & Jones apart from firms that simply aim to resolve a case quickly without considering how it may affect a client’s future employment, education, or family life.
