FORT BEND COUNTY CRIMINAL ATTORNEY
Relentless Criminal Defense for those Accused by the Government
When accused of a crime, you need an attorney for your criminal defense case in Fort Bend County, Texas who will relentlessly fight for you and who has an insider's knowledge of how the government operates. Since leaving the DA's office and opening the Law Office of John L. Venza Jr. in 2007, I have obtained a hard-earned reputation for winning my clients' cases with an approach that is tenacious, innovative, and state of the art. I go on the offense from the beginning and make the State try to play catch-up. My clients benefit from the fact that I consistently outwork and outsmart government prosecutors, many of whom are barely out of law school.
My hard work, honesty, intellect and experience has been recognized by the State Bar of Texas and by the judiciary before whom I practice. District Court judges in Fort Bend County trust my experience and integrity so much that, on multiple occasions, they have asked me to serve as District Attorney Pro Tem in cases from which the District Attorney’s Office has recused itself because of conflicts of interest. This is a very high honor that only few attorneys can claim, and it's a honor indicating that I have gained the recognition and respect of the judiciary. I serve clients in Sugar Land and the rest of Fort Bend County.
I have been working in criminal law exclusively for over 18 years. I have been a licensed attorney for over 18 years. I have 5 years of experience as a prosecutor for the State of Texas. My firm has an extensive track record of success in criminal cases. I am committed to my clients, providing a comprehensive and aggressive defense. I make myself readily available to answer your questions and hear your concerns. When you call, you will receive a free consultation for your case.
