Firm Overview

Dallas Criminal Defense Law Firm

If you have been charged with a crime, choosing a criminal defense lawyer is as important as any major decision you will make in your life.

For the past 30 years, the law office of Peter Barrett has had a reputation for aggressive criminal defense. Our lawyers try more cases than most criminal defense attorneys in the Dallas area for the simple reason that many of our clients simply can't afford to plead guilty. We are known for handling high-stakes, difficult cases such as child sex crimes, aggravated sexual battery, federal drug cases, DWI and vehicular manslaughter.

The cost of hiring a lawyer to fight for you is very small compared to the lifetime cost a criminal conviction can have on your reputation, employment and freedom. For most people, the question is not whether they can afford to hire an attorney, but whether they can afford not to.

Our lawyers have argued in all criminal courts in Texas, including state and federal courts, the Supreme Court of Texas, as well as appellate and district courts. We are members of the Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Federal Criminal Justice Act Voluntary Attorney Panel, Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, Tarrant County Defense Lawyers Association, Collin County Defense lawyers Association, the State Bar of Texas and the Dallas Bar Association.

Our law office is located in the uptown area of Dallas, on the corner of Oak Lawn and Lemon. We are minutes away from the Dallas Central Expressway and the North Dallas Tollway.
