We understand what’s at stake if you are accused of a crime, facing a DWI, or involved in a serious accident. We have the experience and skills to change the outcome. The legal team at Hightower, Franklin & James is here to fight for you.
THE DEFENSE TEAM YOU NEED
The attorneys and staff at Hightower, Franklin, and James, PLLC. are highly equipped and highly committed. Our team has 60 years of experience defending people charged with state and federal crimes. Tim James is among the small number of Texas lawyers who is board-certified in criminal defense. As a former Nacogdoches County district attorney, former Houston police officer and former Chief of the Organized Crime Division for the Texas Attorney General’s Office, he knows how the government builds its case.
Sean Hightower’s advanced training in the same tools used by law enforcement enables him to credibly challenge a DWI arrest. Our in-house investigators help us gather evidence to counter the allegations and tell your side of the story. You should never face the government alone. You need a team on your side.
Tanner Franklin’s reputation as a civil litigator has led to millions in recovery for his clients in State and Federal Court.
WHATEVER THE CHARGES, WE CAN HELP
Our firm represents ordinary people in Nacogdoches and surrounding counties of Deep East Texas who find themselves in trouble with the law. We handle all misdemeanor and felony charges, including drug offenses, drunk driving, sex offenses, weapon offenses, domestic violence, burglary, robbery, theft and white collar crimes. No matter how bad it seems, we are confident we can improve your situation. We aim to keep a conviction off your record or minimize the impact on your life. Do not delay. The earlier we get involved, the better we can help.
LEGAL ADVOCACY FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS
Young adults do not always realize the consequences of their actions. An arrest for drugs, drinking or disorderly conduct can affect scholarships, financial aid, career paths and more. We regularly defend college students of Stephen F. Austin State University facing criminal charges or violations of the SFA Student Code Of Conduct.
