Client Reviews Fighting for your best outcome

If you need a good criminal attorney I would definitely look into hiring Wolf, Stallings & Mayo.
John and Andrew's hard work spared us the trauma, time, humiliations and yes, money, that a trial would have brought. They are still doing some work on expungement for me on my case, and there is absolutely nobody I would trust more.
- Kristy M.
I'm glad I chose them to help me with my case!
Andrew van der Hoeven is such an awesome attorney! He helped me get my brother-in-law's case done in less than a month. He is an awesome person, he is patient with you, he works with you, and he explains what's going on.
- Gelasia M.
I recommend this firm to anyone, regardless how big or small your case is.
Nothing serious, just a traffic ticket but as a CDL holder it was worth it to fight the ticket. Tyler Mayo did an exceptional job and I was found Not Guilty!

Fighting Violent Crime Charges in West Texas

If you choose to partner with Wolf, Stallings & Mayo, we will use this experience and the knowledge we have gained over our careers to build as strong a legal defense as possible on your behalf. We defend people accused of various state- and federal-level crimes, including difficult charges like murder and robbery offenses.

Texas Murder Laws

In Texas, anyone found guilty of murder charges can face 5 to 99 years imprisonment or even capital punishment, depending on the facts of the case. Murder is a type of criminal homicide that occurs mainly when a person causes someone’s death either intentionally or while in the act of committing another felony (TPC §19.02). Although murder is normally a first-degree felony, a charge may be enhanced to capital murder in certain situations, such as if the victim was a law officer or if the crime occurred while attempting a kidnapping or robbery (TPC §19.03). Because of the severity of these charges, anyone accused of murder should seek legal assistance immediately upon arrest or accusation.

Texas Robbery Laws

While less severe than murder charges, being convicted on robbery charges can still carry sentences of 2 to 20 years in prison. A person may be charged with robbery (a second-degree felony) in Texas if they physically harmed another individual or threatened them with bodily harm or death while committing an act of theft (TPC §29.02). Anyone who causes serious injury, uses a deadly weapon, or threatens a senior over 65 or a disabled person with imminent bodily harm may face first-degree felony charges for aggravated robbery (TPC §29.03).
