At the Houston, Texas law office of Melissa Martin, PLLC, I am dedicated to helping real people find solutions to their very real legal problems. Every client is unique, with unique legal needs and goals. I care about your case and what the outcome means for you and your family.
You can be sure I will listen to your story and work diligently for you. Whether you have been charged with a state or federal crime, whether you are an adult or a juvenile, you can count on my being a compassionate, hard working, and passionate advocate for your interests. Contact me today to discuss your case.
I represent clients accused of the following types of crimes:
Federal Crimes
I represent clients facing federal criminal charges such as drug conspiracy, weapons charges, and white collar crimes including bank fraud, wire fraud, mail fraud, mortgage fraud, tax fraud, Medicaid fraud, Medicare fraud, health care fraud, internet fraud, securities fraud, money laundering, embezzlement, and other federal offenses.
Drug Offenses
I serve clients facing state and federal drug charges, including drug possession for personal use, drug possession with intent to deliver, drug sales, drug trafficking, drug conspiracy, and drug manufacturing. I represent individuals charged with drug crimes involving heroin, crack cocaine, powder cocaine, methamphetamines, and many other illegal drugs and controlled substances.
Immigration Crimes
The crackdown on illegal immigration has resulted in increased enforcement and prosecution of crimes relating to illegal immigrants crossing the border from Mexico into Texas. I provide a vigorous defense against criminal charges related to immigrant smuggling and harboring or transporting illegal aliens into the United States. I also represent both immigrants and U.S. citizens in cases related to fraudulent marriages, drug smuggling, drug trafficking and other immigrant crimes.
Juvenile Offenses
My juvenile defense practice serves juvenile clients facing a broad range of criminal charges, including sexual offenses, assault, drug charges, theft, petty theft, criminal mischief, and truancy. I seek to resolve juvenile court matters by fighting the case just as I would an adult's case if the case is weak or, where appropriate and in the best interest of the juvenile, taking maximum advantage of the rehabilitation, mental health, and educational services available to juvenile offenders.
Murder, Assault and Violent Crimes
Cases in which bodily injury or other serious harm has been committed against an individual are looked upon very harshly by the courts. I aggressively represent the rights of clients facing murder, manslaughter, assault, or other types of violent crimes throughout the entirety of the case and afterwards when necessary.
Sex Crimes
In our criminal justice system, you are presumed innocent until you are proven guilty. However, individuals charged with sex crimes are often presumed guilty until proven innocent. I provide a vigorous defense against a variety of sex crimes, including rape, sexual assault, child enticement, child molestation, statutory rape, online solicitation of a minor over the Internet and other sexual offense.
My Houston law office is dedicated to providing high quality legal services to individuals from all walks of life, who are accused of many different types of state and federal crimes. I have been working in federal court for over 10 years. I understand our legal system, and have a long track record of successfully negotiating and litigating criminal cases on behalf of my clients.
