Defense Across Every Serious Charge

Texas criminal law overlaps across charge types — which is why broad, intersecting trial experience matters. These are the charges we defend most.

Priority Defense
01 — Highest Volume

Drug Crimes

From simple possession to trafficking allegations, most drug cases hinge on how the evidence was obtained. We challenge unlawful searches and stops and hold the State to its burden.

Priority Defense
02 — Highest Volume

Assault Charges

Assault and family violence allegations move fast and carry consequences beyond the courtroom, including protective orders. We build a defense around the full context, not just the report.

Domestic Violence
Violent Crimes
Sex Crimes
Theft

Why Edgett Law Firm

What a Trial-Tested Defense Team Gives You

I.

Extensive Experience

Founding attorney Scott E. Edgett has handled thousands of criminal cases. You're not a training case for a new associate.

II.

Local Knowledge

Based in McKinney and Prosper, our team has working relationships with the prosecutors, judges, and investigators handling your case.

III.

Willing to Go to Trial

Most cases end in a plea, but a lawyer who has proven he'll take a case to a jury has more leverage at the negotiating table.

IV.

Broad, Intersecting Experience

Many firms handle one charge type. Our range across drug, assault, and related cases means we catch overlapping issues others miss.

V.

Free Consultations

Criminal defense doesn't pay on contingency — we still offer a free, no-obligation consultation before you decide anything.

VI.

Available 24/7

An arrest doesn't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Reach a member of our team any time, day or night.

Frequently Asked

Questions Before You Call

Do I have to use a public defender?

You have that right, but public defenders in Texas often carry caseloads far above recommended limits, and some counties require repayment of “free” representation. A private trial attorney can give your case more direct attention.

Will a plea deal always be offered?

Prosecutors often push for a fast plea, but that's not always the best outcome available. An attorney willing to prepare for trial has more leverage to negotiate — or fight the charge outright.

What if my rights were violated during the stop or arrest?

Constitutional violations — like an unlawful search or a stop without cause — can be grounds to have evidence excluded or a case dismissed. This is reviewed in every case we take.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. There's no cost and no obligation to schedule a consultation and understand what you're facing.
