As Seen On



EXPERIENCED CRIMINAL DEFENSE
If you’re looking for a criminal defense lawyer to tell your story and fight your criminal case to the end, you’ve made it to the right place. At our firm, we don’t believe in taking client’s money just to bully them into taking an offer from the government, we like cases we can fight and win. The Flanary Law Firm, PLLC, has a primary office in San Antonio, Texas, but accepts both federal and state cases throughout Texas.
If you’re charged with a criminal offense, take it seriously. Hiring a defense lawyer may be one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Criminal convictions can impact your life and take away your freedoms in ways you never thought were imaginable. It is important to remember that in EVERY criminal case, the defendant is put against state or federal prosecutors who have unlimited resources at their disposal. It is their job to incriminate you and secure a conviction; they’re not there to help you, they’re not there to hear your side of the story.

Federal Criminal Defense
Federal Districts in Texas
- Northern District
- Eastern District
- Western District
- Southern District
The punishments for criminal charges prosecuted in federal court typically involve a much harsher sentence than crimes prosecuted in state court. Federal prosecutors have less discretion in making sentencing decisions and federal judges often follow strict sentencing guidelines. Additionally, not only do federal crimes have a higher maximum penalty than state crimes, but most federal crimes come with additional punishment enhancements.
Prosecutors in federal court are known as Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSA). Federal prosecutors work at the direction of the United States Attorney to prosecute criminal cases brought by the federal government against individuals and organizations who violate criminal laws enacted by the United States Congress.
Federal crimes in the Western District of Texas are prosecuted at one of the four federal judicial districts in Texas. The headquarters of the Western District are in San Antonio. Additional offices are located in Alpine, Austin, Del Rio, El Paso, Midland, and Waco.
