What an Attorney Can—and Cannot—Promise
When you’re facing criminal charges, it’s natural to want certainty. Many people ask early on whether an attorney can guarantee a dismissal or a specific outcome. It’s an important question—and one that deserves an honest, straightforward answer.
At MC Criminal Law, our FAQ Series is built around transparency and clarity. Our criminal defense attorneys believe clients should understand not only their options, but also the realities of how criminal cases are handled in Texas courts. Clear expectations from the beginning are essential to making informed decisions.
Today’s FAQ addresses a question we hear often:
Q: Can you guarantee my case will be dismissed?
A: No, and no attorney should make that promise to you before they have reviewed your case in it’s entirety. While a person facing criminal charges is anxious and wants reassurance, it is wise to be cautious of empty promises.
