Evading Arrest or Detention
If your child was arrested for an evading
arrest under these circumstances, it is very important that you contact
the law firm of James G. Sullivan and Associates. Our experienced Harris
County juvenile defense attorneys may be able to persuade the prosecutor to dismiss the felony charges because the police
misunderstood your child's intentions or exaggerated what actually occurred.
If your child has been charged with the
criminal offense of evading arrest in Harris county (Houston), or any of
the surrounding counties in Texas, including Montgomery (Conroe), Waller (Hempstead), Fort Bend (Richmond) or Brazoria (Angleton), contact James G. Sullivan and Associates for a free consultation at (281) 546-6428.
It is important that the juvenile defense lawyer you hire has experience in successfully handling evading
arrest cases. By obtaining and presenting the right evidence, the lawyer
may be able to prove your child's innocence or raise a reasonable doubt in the
minds of jurors at trial. As we all
know, our juvenile justice system is imperfect and even an innocent
person may still face juvenile liability.
Evading arrest is the offense
charged on those that the police claim did not willingly submit
themselves to an arrest or detention. The allegations that the police
put in the offense report and the evidence the government presents in
court is not always true and correct.
In Texas, evading arrest by vehicle or
watercraft is a third degree felony, and evading arrest on foot is a
class A misdemeanor, however the charges are increased if there are
prior convictions or if someone suffers death or serious bodily injuries
as a direct result of the flight. No matter what charge was filed
against your child by the District Attorney, our experienced juvenile defense
lawyers can be by your side. We know how to effectively fight an evading
arrest charge and can defend your child in all stages of the case.
James Sullivan is also Board Certified in Juvenile Law since 2004 and has practiced juvenile and criminal law since 1994.
