For people who have been arrested in Frisco or surrounding communities in Texas, navigating the criminal justice system can be an overwhelming experience. A criminal conviction has the potential to affect a person's life for years to come due to penalties such as large fines, a potential jail sentence, a criminal record, and ongoing damage to their reputation. To address criminal charges successfully, a defendant will need to work with an attorney who understands the issues they are facing and who can help to develop a strong defense strategy.

Our clients benefit from our focus on minimizing penalties and mitigating the long-term consequences of criminal charges, such as loss of employment, immigration problems, or the impact of a permanent criminal record.

Defense Against Sex Crimes

Courts in Texas will often impose severe penalties for people who are convicted of sex crimes. In addition to prison time and fines, a person who is convicted of a sexual offense may be subject to sex offender registration requirements. We can defend against charges such as:

• Sexual Assault: We can help clients respond to accusations of rape, date rape, or other forms of sexual intercourse or sexual contact committed without consent.
• Prostitution/Solicitation: While people accused of engaging in prostitution may be arrested and charged with a crime, those who are accused of soliciting prostitution may also be arrested, and they may face more serious penalties.
• Revenge Pornography: We can help address accusations that a person has shared intimate or sexually explicit images or videos of someone without that person's consent.

Representation for People Accused of Crimes Against Children

Accusations of offenses involving harm to children may result in more serious penalties than many other types of crimes. Our lawyers can help defend against multiple types of crimes against children, including:

• Sexual Assault of a Child: Charges of statutory rape may apply if a person is accused of engaging in sexual intercourse with a minor.
• Indecency With a Child: This serious charge may be based on allegations that a person engaged in any form of sexual activity involving a child.
• Solicitation of a Minor: A person may face this serious charge if they are accused of contacting a minor online or elsewhere and attempting to meet the minor and cause the minor to engage in illegal sexual activities.
• Possession of Child Pornography: Child sexual abuse materials (CSAM), including photos, videos, or computer-generated depictions of real children, could lead to criminal charges with very serious penalties.
• Sexual Exploitation of a Child: This offense may involve the creation of child pornography or other situations where a person causes a child to engage in unlawful sexual activities.
• Improper Relationships Between Educators and Students: Teachers or other school employees who engage in sexual activity with minors could face serious criminal charges.
• Kidnapping/Abduction: Taking a child and refusing to return them to their parent or guardian as required could lead to serious criminal charges, even if the person accused of this offense is a child's parent.

Violent Crime Defense

Crimes involving violence carry some of the most significant criminal penalties under Texas law. Our attorneys can defend against violent crime charges such as:

• Assault
• Domestic Violence
• Robbery/Carjacking
• Murder/Manslaughter

When appropriate, we will help determine whether defenses such as self-defense, lack of intent, or mistaken identity may be used to help our clients avoid convictions.

Defending Against Drug Crime Charges

Texas has strict drug laws, and people may face severe penalties if they are accused of offenses involving controlled substances. The specific penalties for drug crimes will often vary depending on the type and amount of substance involved. Our lawyers can help address charges of drug possession or drug distribution/manufacturing. We will challenge the legality of searches and seizures, the chain of custody of evidence, and any procedural violations that occurred, working to help our clients resolve these cases while minimizing their penalties.

DWI and Alcohol-Related Offenses

A conviction for driving while intoxicated (DWI) can lead to license suspension, fines, and the possibility of jail time, as well as other penalties. Our attorneys can help defend against first-time DWI charges, multiple DWI, or felony DWI. We can address charges related to driving under the influence of drugs or prescription medication, underage drinking and driving, and DWI resulting in injury or death. We will review traffic stops, field sobriety tests, and breath or blood test procedures to identify possible defenses.

White Collar Crime Defense

White collar crimes typically involve allegations of financial misconduct. They may be based on online communications or interactions or other activities in which money or other assets were allegedly misappropriated. Our lawyers can provide representation for people charged with fraud, identity theft, money laundering, or other white collar offenses.

Property Crimes

Charges involving the theft, misappropriation, or destruction of property can range from misdemeanors to felonies depending on the value of the property involved in a case. Our attorneys can assist with property crime allegations involving theft/shoplifting, burglary, or other related offenses.

Juvenile Criminal Defense

When a minor is accused of a crime, the consequences can extend far beyond the courtroom. Our lawyers represent children and their families in juvenile crime proceedings involving offenses such as drug possession, underage drinking, truancy, assault, or other delinquent conduct. We work to find solutions to these cases that will allow for rehabilitation and ensure that young people can move forward with their lives while avoiding long-term penalties.

Representation for High-Profile Clients

For athletes, public figures, and high-profile professionals, criminal charges often bring unique challenges. Media attention, reputational damage, and career disruption are often as consequential as the criminal charges themselves. Barbieri Law Firm provides discreet and strategic representation for high-profile clients whose visibility demands careful management of both legal concerns and public relations.

Our attorneys will work behind the scenes to resolve matters quietly. We will explore the available options while coordinating with agents, publicists, or employers when appropriate. We strive to provide the confidentiality and discretion that our clients deserve so that they can limit public exposure and preserve their future opportunities.
