Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

my boyfriend is on felony probation. supposed to get off june 29, 2010. since november 1, 2009 he had been arrested a few time, and added charges. public intoxication, resisting arrest (we have paperwork from ER stating that his rib was fractured), dangerous drug charge (he had 2 vicadin that were not prescribed to him or in proper container), poss of marijuana, poss of paraphenalia, tampering with evidence (trying to get rid of pot & pipe). when he was arrested for the last 3, he found out there was a warrant for probation violation out on him. what i'd like to know is if there is anything that a lawyer can actually do to help him? his original probation was for 4 years, could he possibly have to do all 4, plus some? if he does need a lawyer, i'd like to have an idea of how much money i'm looking at spending,

thank you,

Ms. Armstrong, based on what you have written, your boyfried will always stand a better chance with a law firm beside him when facing a motion to revoke. No attorney or law firm will ever promise some specific result. Your boyfriend has a spotted past and it will be difficult, but it is not impossible. There are many additional items which would need to be answered prior to any more specific guidance as to potential outcomes. You really should consider getting a law firm to properly protect your boyfriends rights and interests. As for fees, your are probably looking somewhere between $1,000 - $5,000 dependent upon more specific information. If my law firm can assist you or your boyfriend with this or any other legal matter, contact us at (281) 994-4034.
