Sugar Land, Texas Criminal Law Attorney

When charged with a crime, you need an attorney who will relentlessly fight for you and who knows how the government operates.  I am a criminal defense attorney, and I was a prosecutor for the State of Texas for five years before going out on my own.  I know what the government is trying to do to you and how it is trying to do it.  By placing me on your side, you get an experienced fighter who, as a former Assistant District Attorney, knows how to beat the government at its own game.

Consequences of a Crime

Criminal charges have short-term and long-term effects.  Whether the potential consequence is losing your license because of a DUI charge or your freedom if charged with a violent felony crime, you need legal representation to ensure that your rights are aggressively defended.  I spent five years negotiating pleas for hundreds of cases and argued dozens of felony and misdemeanor trials before Texas juries.  I tried everything from speeding tickets to murder.  My trial approach was then and is now aggressive, hard-hitting, and relentless.  After achieving the position of senior prosecutor in a felony District Court, I left the DA's office to open my own criminal law practice.

Know Your Enemy

In establishing the Law Office of John L. Venza Jr., I resolved to take the skills that made me a successful prosecutor and turn them against the government to vindicate your rights.  The dogged determination and focus that characterized my five years of prosecuting cases will now be turned loose on the government and its accusations against you.  I will conduct onsite investigations and interviews with witnesses.  I will comb through the State's file, thoroughly examine the allleged "evidence" against you, and expose the errors made by police and investigators for the State.  I will combine my passion for criminal law with meticulous attention to detail.  In addition, I will effectively negotiate with the prosecution side of the table that I once occupied.

Protecting Your Rights

Nothing beats preventing the government from exercising its raw power against its citizenry.  Your freedom is at stake.  Your rights are in jeopardy.  Your reputation hangs in the balance.  A charge of drunk driving, drug possession, theft, or assault does not automatically mean a conviction.  I will provide a relentless criminal defense.  I look forward to hammering away at the government lawyers and their case.  I know all aspects of the Texas legal system, and I will bring my intelligence, knowledge and experience to the table when I take on your case.

I recognize that not all clients require legal services during standard business hours.  That is why I make myself available on evenings and weekends.  For more information or to schedule a free consultation at my office conveniently located off of Highway 59, please contact me.
