I would highly, highly recommend this law firm for the most complex cases, small or big. They saved me and got me another chance at life.

I’m a 42-year-old minority man with 2 previous felony charges on my record. I was arrested and charged with 3 drug felony cases in October of 2018. I was facing 15 to 99 years with an enhancement added to my case. […] I was able to walk out the courthouse with deferred probation. Mr. Scott Edgett deserves 10 stars!!!!

Corey W.

Great team and great experience. I would recommend this office to anyone.

Scott and Ben are GREAT. They will clearly communicate everything during the case and keep you well informed. Scott told me from the first consultation what I should anticipate through out the case, and everything went exactly as he said. Ben was very attentive and knowledgeable as well. Great team and great experience. I would recommend this office to anyone.

Kevin

Thanks Ben for changing my life and blessing me and my family! I highly recommend this firm and attorneys if you want to get the best outcome on your case!

Chris S.

Spoke with Scott on the phone to get some clarifications when I was likely being extorted and worrying about what I should do. He knew his stuff and made me feel a lot better about this situation and was honest with me about whether or not I even needed an attorney and if I should save my money which was really excellent customer service. His assistant was also very knowledgeable and was able to set a consultation with Scott within a short time after I gave her some information.

Dan S.

Scott and Ben are the best attorneys that I have ever had the pleasure to meet – they spent many, many hours listening to me and working behind the scenes to make sure that I was taken care of. […] They have both gone above and beyond to keep me from going to prison. Because of their knowledge and professionalism, I am a free man today. I would never use another criminal attorney – 5 STARS is not enough, I want to give them 10 STAR – !!!!!!!!!

Rodney Lansdell

Absolutely wonderful team very professional hard working! Honestly would not trust anyone else and extremely pleased Ben was very personally as well as Scott and Mallory. Always explained everything clearly and return phone calls quickly.

Amanda Geis

I want to thank my family friend that gave me Mr. Scott contact info. I had a little probation problem with Collin county and set my apt to meet with mr. Scott, I explained to him the problem and he did everything he said he is going to do. He kept me informed with the whole situation and very respectful and the main thing very honest And upfront. If your looking for a great defense lawyer don’t look anywhere else. My case had a great outcome thanks very much to the whole Scott Edgett family. ??

Brayln Bakker

The law firm i would recommend to anyone they have respectful and loyal employees that will keep you updated and are always there for you when you have any questions regarding your case, i am so pleased with how my experience was through my case and how they kept me updated.

Marc McCorkle

I am very grateful I found Scott and his team. […] As some of the others have stated in their reviews of Scott, it was a night and day difference between Scott and several other attorney’s. Some of the others were very audacious and for a lack a better word, shady. Scott was responsive and detailed. In the end, Scott was able to get me a “no bill”. If I were you, I would choose Scott as your defense attorney. You’ll thank yourself.

Plano Criminal Defense Practice Areas

Assault

An assault conviction can turn your life upside down. It can stand between you and a new job or even interfere with your ability to spend time with your family. Our lawyers know that assault charges are often based on unreliable evidence or false claims. You can rest assured that our team will challenge the validity and strength of the state’s evidence at every turn. Without proof, the charges against you can’t stand.

view practice area

Domestic Violence

Sadly, many allegations of domestic violence are exaggerated or outright lies. Whether you’ve been wrongfully accused of harming a family member or just got caught up in the moment and lost control, our lawyers will stand by your side and help you fight any criminal charges you may face. We’ll dig deep to find any evidence that mitigates the claims or disproves the allegations of family violence entirely.

view practice area

Drug Crimes

When it comes to drug offenses, the punishments rarely fit the crimes. To make matters worse, drug crime convictions are often won using evidence that’s obtained illegally through a violation of the defendant’s rights. Our attorneys will look at how the state handled your drug case from the very start. We’ll determine if and when your rights may have been violated and ask the court to toss any evidence that was secured through unlawful means.

view practice area

DWI

Drunk driving arrests happen in Plano just about every day. However, many times, those arrests aren’t made properly. If there’s an issue with your DWI arrest – unlawful stop, unreasonable search, faulty breath or blood tests, or chain of custody problems – our attorneys will work tirelessly to find it. When we identify the state’s mistake we’ll use that to your advantage and move to have the court dismiss the charges against you.

view practice area

Federal Crimes

There are times when you might face federal criminal charges – instead of or in addition to those filed by the state. Federal criminal matters are subject to different laws, rules, and court systems. So, you need to be sure that you hire a lawyer that not only understands federal criminal matters, but who has experience handling these complex issues in federal court. When you hire Edgett Law Firm, you can rest assured that you’ll have an accomplished federal crimes attorney in your corner.

Juvenile Crimes

Few things are more terrifying than finding out that your child has been arrested, taken into police custody, and charged with a criminal offense. Our attorneys have years of experience helping families navigate the complex Texas juvenile criminal justice system. We know that the stakes are incredibly high and will fight to give your child every chance to walk away with a favorable outcome. Their future depends on it.

view practice area

Sex Crimes

There are very few crimes that are considered to be more serious than sex offenses. Charges for rape, sexual assault, and pornography carry harsh penalties. Those penalties become much harsher for a violent crime or when a child is involved – including mandatory registration as a sex offender with the state. However, many times, allegations of sexual misconduct are exaggerated or outright lies. Our lawyers know this and will leave no stone unturned in our search of evidence that supports your defense.

view practice area

Theft Crimes

A criminal theft conviction will follow you for the rest of your life. It can interfere with your ability to get (or keep) a job. It can stand between you and a much-needed financial loan. The fact that you’ve been convicted of theft can devastate your personal and professional reputations. Our lawyers will be your fiercest advocate as we defend you against criminal charges of theft. We’ll not only raise evidence to disprove the claims, but also attack the state’s case at every turn.

view practice area

White Collar Crimes

White collar crimes are inherently complicated. These offenses tend to involve schemes to defraud or deceive – especially when it comes to money. This can be tough to prove – and even more challenging to explain to a jury. Our attorneys work to make the state’s job even difficult. We’ll work diligently to cast doubt on any allegations, disprove false claims, and challenge prosecutors every step of the way. A strong offense can be just as powerful – and work just as well – as a strong defense.

Why You Need Our Lawyers In Your Corner When Facing Criminal Charges

More Than 5,000 Successful Outcomes

Benefit From 22 Years of Experience

We Work With Respected Experts

We’re Award Winning Texas Trial Lawyers

We Care About More Than Your Charge

When you turn to the Edgett Law Firm after you or a loved one is arrested in Plano, TX, you can rest assured that you’ll have an experienced criminal defense attorney fighting for you. Since our founding in 2010, our lawyers have successfully handled more than 5,000 criminal matters.

We’ve helped our clients secure favorable outcomes by investing the time, effort, and financial resources that are necessary. We fight passionately for our clients from the moment they call us for help. That starts by really listening to you have to say. Digging deep to understand your perspective and appreciate what you’re up against. We take the time to do this because your story – your emotion – empowers us and gives us the opportunity to be the very best advocates we can possibly be.

There’s no substitute for experience. Collectively, our criminal defense attorneys have more than 22 years of experience. That’s more than two decades spent in the trenches of Texas’ criminal justice system fighting on behalf of the accused. Thanks to our tireless dedication to our clients, we’ve gained the respect of local prosecutors.

They know that we exhaust every possible option for our clients and make their jobs tough. They know that they’ll have make fair offers or consider dropping the charges for lack of evidence when we represent the accused. That’s because we never give up when our clients’ futures are at stake. We go to great lengths to provide them with the kind of legal representation the Founding Fathers had in mind.

State prosecutors have seemingly endless resources at their fingertips. That includes investigators, consultants, forensic scientists, and medically-trained professionals. Our lawyers know that experts can – and often do – make or break a criminal case. That’s why we’ve worked so hard to build a network of reputable professionals and specialists that we can turn to as we defend clients just like you.

We regularly enlist the help of former law enforcement officers, crime scene reconstructionists, forensic specialists, investigators, scientists, economists, psychologists, and other experts. They often provide critical insight, help us analyze evidence, and break down technical aspects of a criminal case – all of which allow us to design the strongest possible defenses on our clients’ behalves. The state benefits from experts – you should, too.

Most criminal cases settle well before trial. State prosecutors will work hard to get you to plead guilty and take a deal. Some might try to strongarm you by using scare tactics and fear. Others might try to make it seem like the deal they’re offering is a huge win for you – even when, in reality, it’s not.

Just because you’re offered a plea doesn’t mean that your criminal case will settle – or should. And, the Edgett Law Firm will not let the state bully you when it comes to one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. We’ll help you understand your rights, explain the strengths and weaknesses of the state’s case against you, and offer guidance as you consider any offers you receive.

However, rest assured that we will be fully prepared to take your defense to a jury – and argue passionately on your behalf. We are award-winning trial lawyers with a track record of successful outcomes in the courtroom. Let us put our nationally-recognized skills to work for you.

If you’ve been charged with a crime, you need and deserve the assistance of a qualified criminal defense lawyer. However, just because someone is a good defense attorney doesn’t mean that they’re a good defense attorney for you. Your choice of lawyer matters. You need to hire a defense attorney that you feel confident and comfortable confiding in. You need to hire an attorney you can trust. That’s why you shouldn’t waste a moment before calling the legal team at the Edgett Law Firm.

We’re not like other criminal defense law firms in Plano, Texas. To us, our clients are much more than a case number on a file. We recognize that our clients are real, everyday people facing one of the scariest moments in their lives. We take the time to listen. To support. To offer guidance.
