Criminal Defense
Muniz Law Group focuses on criminal defense; don’t hire a jack of all trades, but a master of none. As a former prosecutor with the Hidalgo County District Attorney’s Office, Victoria has years of experience handling both misdemeanor and felony offenses. Now, as a defense attorney she has extensive knowledge on how to approach a criminal case. Cases can be successfully resolved in different manners such as application to diversionary programs (when applicants qualify) that may result in a dismissal, negotiating for a better deal a client wants to accept, or preparing a case for a trial. Being prepared for a jury trial is the best bargaining power an attorney can have and it’s been the basis for numerous dismissals. Hire an attorney who has the knowledge and experience to properly analyze your case and advise you on the best course of action.

Bond Reductions
Has a friend or family member been arrested and cannot get out of jail, because of a bond he or she cannot afford? Contact us about a bond reduction! The sooner we are contacted, the sooner we can help.
Probation Revocation
Placed on probation and had a few problems complying with the terms and conditions? If a motion to revoke probation has been filed there may be different options available that don’t always require additional jail time or full revocation of your probation.
Early Termination of Probation
Have you already been placed on probation or deferred adjudication and are doing well? You could be eligible for an early termination of your probation. What does that mean? If the motion is granted by the Court: No more reporting, no more fees, and no more supervision!
Expungement of Records
Did you know a dismissal of your case does not mean it will be removed from your record? You must get it expunged to have it completely removed so it won’t appear on a background check. If your criminal case was dismissed with a successful completion of a class, diversionary program, or for any other reason you may qualify to have this offense expunged (removed) from your record.
