Criminal Defense Attorneys in Tarrant County
When the government brings a criminal charge, the prosecutor has tremendous training and resources that can be used to prosecute the case. To fight the case, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney devoted to protecting your rights and mounting an aggressive defense.
After a criminal accusation, it is important to hire an attorney as soon as possible so that all options for fighting the charges are still available.
The attorneys at Law Offices of Richard C. McConathy represent clients at all stages of the case including the initial investigation before an arrest is made, the first appearance in court after the arrest, during pre-trial status conferences, during evidentiary motion hearings, and at trial.
The best result is getting the criminal charges dropped by the prosecutor or dismissed by the trial judge. Our attorneys understand the importance of filing pre-trial motions to exclude prejudicial evidence, suppress items illegally seized, or dismiss charges not supported by sufficient evidence.
We can help you assert your right to remain silent and to have experienced counsel at every stage of the case. Call today to find out how we can put our experience to work for you.

"Richard saved my life from the path of destruction it was on. My twenties were full of many hazy memories and mistakes. I should be in prison for my selfishness, but because of one man and my sweet Gama, I am doing life right. So many other lawyers would have quit on me, but Richard kept going. He kept me out of prison and got me into treatment and kept it to where I could seal my record. I'm now married to the love of my life with two of the most precious little girls a man could wish for. I just got my master plumber standing and own my own business. This wouldn't be happening if one man, Richard McConathy, hadn't saved me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"I have never been in trouble in my life except for traffic tickets. Then I made a really stupid mistake and had my kid in the car. It didn't look good. I was looking at becoming a felon and looking like a really bad mom. I thankfully found Richard McConathy. It took close to a year but he was able to convince the DA to drop my case down and now I'm eligible to have it sealed. I now have my future back. Great office staff, and very hands on with the clients needs. Once again, a big thanks to the entire office."
"Richard and his team are some really great lawyers in my book. They took what looked like to me as an impossible situation, and somehow got it to turned in my favor. It was a long road and a lot of stress, but these guys have a "no give-up" attitude. I would happily recommend Richard and his whole team to handle your case. He did great on mine!"
