    Why Benavides Law Group Stands Out in Criminal Defense

    Selecting the right legal advocate is one critical decision when your freedom is at stake. Here’s why Benavides Law Group excels in crafting successful defenses:

    • Extensive History of Successful Victories. Case successes include dismissals, suppressed evidence that shifted prosecutorial angles, and no-bill grand jury results that stopped charges entirely.
    • Transparent Pricing. From the initial consultation, you’ll know exactly what to expect regarding costs. No hidden fees, no surprises.
    • Clear and Frequent Communication. We keep you updated at every turn, ensuring your questions are answered promptly and you’re fully informed throughout your legal process.
    • Tailored Criminal Defense Strategies. Every case comes with unique factors. Whether we fight for dismissal, a reduced charge, or courtroom litigation, we craft solutions based on your legal priorities.

    Legal challenges demand focused, personalized action to protect what matters most in your life. At Benavides Law Group, we provide representation that matches determination with clear, strategic steps. Contact us today to chart your path toward a favorable resolution when it comes to Houston criminal defense matters.

    Criminal Charges We Defend at Benavides Law Group

    At Benavides Law Group, we focus on providing targeted solutions for several

    criminal defense areas. Each effort is designed to help you regain your footing and secure your best outcome.

    • Driving While Intoxicated (DWI): DWI charges in Texas often carry strict penalties, such as license suspension and potential jail time. We challenge field sobriety testing, investigate procedural errors in traffic stops, and fight toward dismissals or charge reductions.
    • Assault Cases: Allegations of assault can have lasting personal and professional consequences. We prioritize analyzing evidence for inconsistencies while crafting a defense that protects your relationships and independence.
    • Theft and Property Crimes: From misdemeanor theft to complex financial crimes, we assess prosecutorial strategies, question intent, and develop defenses to mitigate consequences effectively.
    • Record Sealing and Expungement: A past charge shouldn’t determine your future. We assist clients eligible for expungement or record sealing, helping them remove barriers and gain greater opportunities.

    Each charge type carries its hurdles, but quick action makes a difference. Call Benavides Law Group at 713-222-2828 to begin securing your defense today.

    Eric has represented me twice now and both times have been a great experience. He’s very knowledgeable, and explains everything very well. He was able to get my case dismissed & record expunged. Would defiantly recommend Mr. Benavides to any one seeking legal council. –Google Review

    J. Mart | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | …almost in tears when they said not guilty…

    Mr. Benavides represented me on a criminal case starting last year. Earlier this year we ended up going to trial. We decided to turn down good offers because we both felt I was innocent. The case ended up as a not guilty. We won the case and he also expunged my record. I was almost in tears when they said not guilty. It was a big relief after having been going to court for more than a year. I would recommend everyone to Mr. Benavides. Thank you so much. –Read on Google

    Chevy M. | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Let me begin by saying Mr. Eric Benavides is worthy of 10 Gold Stars, if you choose him to represent you I don’t think you will be disappointed. I was not familiar with the process of how to obtain the services of a good lawyer because i had not been in a situation that required a lawyer. I recently had a charge in Harris County for Family Domestic Violence and what made the situation worse was the fact that i lived in Louisiana. I surfed the web and found some favorable reviews on Eric Benavides so I decided I would give him a try. I am so glad that i chose Eric because I initially consider a few other lawyers. Eric got my information and started on my case right away, i only had to make two appearances in court before Eric got my case DISMISSED!!! He kept me from having to make multiple trips that would have cost me a lot of driving and working time. I cannot thank him and his staff enough, every time I called for an update on my case I was able to speak with a Live Voice (that’s really important to me) his office staff was very friendly and showed a genuine concern for my case. He always returned my calls and he did exactly what we told me he would do. Let Eric Benavides represent you, you want be sorry. –Review on Google
