Our Strategy
Our Strategy
As a former Texas prosecutor, I don't just sit back and defend. I am a firm believer that the best defense is one that is aggressive and works to build a case against the prosecution's version of what happened. This approach requires us to effectively anticipate their tactics, fight to throw out their evidence, challenge their witnesses whether they are cops, experts or alleged victims.
Our goal from the first time we meet will be to build a strategic defense designed specifically for your circumstances. Of the 100s of dismissals we have secured, including serious felonies, the vast majority required this type of aggressive approach.
"When you work with my firm, you work directly with me. I provide personalized, high-touch representation to manage your entire legal crisis, ensuring clear communication and a defense tailored specifically to your situation."

When you hire Setra Law Firm, you’re not hiring someone to simply react — you’re hiring a defense built on insight. My years as a prosecutor give me a clear understanding of how the other side thinks, the weaknesses they overlook, and the pressure points that turn cases around. Every motion we file, every question we ask, and every argument we make is backed by that experience.
From DWI and drug charges to complex felony accusations, our focus is simple: protect your freedom, safeguard your future, and keep your record clean. We don’t wait for opportunities — we create them through preparation, precision, and relentless advocacy.
Because in criminal defense, being on the defensive isn’t enough. You deserve a lawyer who knows exactly what the prosecution will do — and how to dismantle it before it ever reaches you.
