“The smartest lawyer in the
courtroom and the toughest.”
Brent Mayr has been recognized as one of the top criminal defense attorneys
by his peers, opponents, judges, and most importantly, his clients.
I’M ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD IN YOUR DEFENSE
My extensive experience means I can proactively take steps to advocate for you and your best interests. Any lawyer can request an offense report and show up to court. I am going to use my enormous resources to go well beyond that. From investigators to experts, I am going to do everything – and look for everything – to provide the very best defense to the client and get them the best possible outcome.
BRENT MAYR IN THE MEDIA
Facing a criminal charge is difficult enough, but adding public scrutiny into the mix makes handling your case even harder. This is why you need an attorney not only with experience in the courtroom, but in the court of public opinion as well. My experience with high profile cases has made me extremely comfortable talking to the media and painting my clients in a light most favorable to them. At the same time, I have also represented a number of individuals who need to keep their criminal matter discrete and out of the public eye. My experience can benefit you whichever position you find yourself in.
A FEARLESS ADVOCATE FOR JUSTICE
TACKLING HIGH PROFILE CASES TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS
United States V. Jesus Huitron
Secured lone acquittal in high-profile federal conspiracy involving the Zeta drug cartel and alleged money laundering through the quarter horse racing industry.
Houston Police Dept B.A.T. Vans
Led investigations into problems with HPD Breath Alcohol Testing (BAT) Vans resulting in multiple convictions thrown out, pending cases dismissed, and a grand jury investigation into the DA’s office.
Convinced Montgomery County jury to acquit client of two counts of Criminally Negligent Homicide arising out of a double-fatality motor vehicle accident.
STATE OF TEXAS V. WILLIAM ABRAHAM
Along with criminal defense legend, Dick DeGuerin, obtained acquittal on
Intoxication Manslaughter charge for a prominent El Paso businessman.
REPRESENTING CLIENTS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE
TACKLING HIGH PROFILE CASES TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS
Business professionals, lawyers, doctors, accountants, artists, reporters, political activists,
private investigators, police officers, realtors, and small business owners,
I represent individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life.
“Brent was very invested in not only my case, but me as a person, because I am a mom, because I am a business owner, I really wanted to do the best so that I can move on with life as usual.”
BOARD CERTIFIED
MEANS I’M A SPECIALIST IN CRIMINAL DEFENSE
Only 7% of attorneys in the state of Texas are Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. These are the only attorneys permitted to state that they specialize in a select area of the law.
I’m one of them.
MY PAST PROTECTS YOUR FUTURE
I was a former briefing attorney for a judge on the highest court in the state of Texas for criminal cases, a former felony prosecutor and head of the Vehicular Crimes Section responsible for all DWI and vehicular homicide cases and, as a criminal defense attorney, have secured a number of dismissals and acquittals for my clients.
YOUR LIFE IS AT STAKE.
YOUR DEFENSE IS THE LAST PLACE TO CUT CORNERS.
When your life is on the line, your defense is the most important thing in the world. You need an attorney that will work tirelessly to protect your rights and keep you from losing your family, your job, and your way of life.
You get what you pay for with a criminal defense attorney
and you will get more from me.
