Amarillo Felony and Misdemeanor Defense Lawyers

If you have been charged with a crime, either felony or misdemeanor, you need a criminal defense lawyer to inform you of your rights and fight to protect them in court. At Woodburn, Watkins, Jackson, & Woodburn, our partners have more than 50 years of combined experience serving as advocates for our clients in criminal defense and juvenile defense cases like yours.

Our criminal defense attorneys know what the court is looking for, and we know what prosecutors will try to do to make your charges stick. Get serious about your defense by putting us on the case.

Attorney Joshua Woodburn, one of our partner lawyers, has handled numerous misdemeanors and felonies with great success, including findings of "not guilty" and dismissals. He also served in the Potter Randall County Community Probation Office and understands the factors important in deciding whether probation or deferral are viable options and will prepare his client after all other available defenses have been exhausted.

Drug Charges
We defend people who are charged with possession of controlled substances, including marijuana possession, possession with intent to distribute drugs, and manufacturing drugs. Attorney Mike Watkins has represented many people on "I-40 drug stops." Hundreds of people are stopped each year on the I-40 drug corridor. If you are one of those people, you need a lawyer who will fight the stop, search, and seizure.

Juvenile Defense
Our juvenile defense lawyers help juveniles and their families overcome their troubles through compassionate counseling sessions focused on learning legal and life lessons, and moving forward as responsible young people.

Traffic and Speeding Violations
We defend our clients against traffic tickets, including speeding and reckless driving. Our criminal defense attorneys represent people who need a legal advocate and counselor in cases involving domestic violence.

Other Crimes
If you have been charged with a white collar crime, forgery, murder, or Internet crime, get the advice you need to minimize the damages to your record, or absolve yourself of the charges altogether. We also handle cases involving arson, assault, theft, and burglary.

Contact our Amarillo, Texas, law office to begin discussing your defense. Attorney Mike Watkins, a partner in the firm, has handled all sorts of cases. From traffic tickets to Capital Murder, Mike Watkins has tried it.
