"I got hit with a plethora of charges that could’ve seriously jeopardized my future.

Shane was swift and incredibly thorough. In the end, all four of my charges (including one felony charge) were dismissed or rejected. Thanks to Mr. Phelps I no longer have any legal actions against me. I would highly recommend Shane Phelps Law if you want the absolute best chance of getting the best results possible in your legal situation."

"Reilly Garrett absolutely came through for me when I needed it most. He didn’t just handle my case—he fought for me, stayed on top of every detail, and never let up until he got it dismissed.

You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and takes his work seriously. … If you want an attorney who will go the extra mile and truly have your back, I highly recommend Reilly Garrett."

"I can’t recommend Ms. Harris enough. After multiple attorneys turned me down, she was the only one who took the time to truly dig into my case and believe in a solution.

She was honest, optimistic, and kept me informed every step. … She worked diligently on my behalf, and not only did she achieve what I was hoping for, but she exceeded my expectations and made it even better."

A criminal charge in Texas can put your freedom, record, and career at risk. Under Texas Penal Code §12.21, even a Class A misdemeanor carries up to 1 year in jail and a $4,000 fine.

Talking to police without a lawyer can hurt you. Acting early may open the door to reduced charges, pretrial diversion, or dismissal.

Shane Phelps Law defends clients in Bryan, College Station, and across Texas with a strategy built around you. Call now or book your free, confidential consultation.

An arrest is not a conviction. Police and prosecutors make mistakes, and there may be ways to challenge the case against you. Our team examines the stop, the search, witness statements, and lab results to find weaknesses in the State’s case and fight to reduce or dismiss your charges.

The steps you take now can shape what happens next. Don’t wait. Contact Shane Phelps Law today for your free, confidential consultation.
