Getting the Help You Need

Attorney Lee D. Cox specializes in defending individuals charged with a wide range of misdemeanor and felony offenses in the Fort Bend County area. As a former prosecutor, he understands how criminal procedure works in Texas and what is required to mount a successful defense. He can provide the expert legal representation you need to fight a criminal charge for:

Federal Crimes

Federal charges involve a different set of rules, agencies, and procedures. We bring focused experience in defending against indictments involving drugs, weapons, fraud, or conspiracy.

Juvenile Crimes

A juvenile arrest doesn’t have to define a young person’s future. We work to resolve juvenile cases with a focus on rehabilitation, record protection, and second chances.

Cyber & Technology Crimes

Cybercrime charges are complex and evolving. We defend clients against allegations involving hacking, data breaches, online harassment, and digital fraud using up-to-date legal strategies.

Occupational Driver’s License

If your license is suspended due to a DWI or other offense, we can help you apply for an occupational license to restore limited driving privileges legally.

White-Collar Crimes

White-collar crimes include fraud, embezzlement, and financial misconduct. We defend against these often-document-heavy cases with detailed analysis and aggressive courtroom advocacy.

Assault

A criminal assault charge can arise from a wide range of incidents and may carry serious penalties. We help clients fight back against these accusations with strategic defense and an aggressive approach in court.

Murder

Facing a murder charge is the most serious criminal accusation in Texas. Our firm provides unwavering legal defense focused on protecting your rights and building a strong, fact-based case from day one.

Weapons Charges

Weapons offenses, including unlawful carry or possession by a felon, can result in felony convictions. We examine the details of the stop, search, and arrest to challenge the government’s case.

Possession of Marijuana

Even minor marijuana possession can carry lasting consequences in Texas. We work to reduce or dismiss charges and explore every legal opportunity for resolution.

Drug Cases

From simple possession to drug trafficking, we defend clients against all types of drug-related charges with in-depth legal knowledge and proven strategies to challenge evidence and protect your future.

Sex Crimes

Allegations of sex crimes carry devastating personal and legal consequences. We provide discreet, experienced representation to fight for your rights and challenge weak or unsubstantiated accusations.

Traffic Offense

While often seen as minor, traffic violations can impact your license, job, and insurance. We help clients contest tickets, avoid points, and maintain clean driving records.

Bail Bond Reduction

If a bond is set too high, we file motions to reduce bail and secure release. Early representation in this stage is critical to protect your rights and prepare your defense.

Aggravated Assault

Aggravated assault charges typically involve serious bodily injury or use of a deadly weapon. We scrutinize all evidence and circumstances to pursue dismissal or reduced charges.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence cases involve complex family dynamics and potential protective orders. We fight to preserve your reputation, protect your rights, and defend against exaggerated or false allegations.

Probation Violation

Alleged probation violations can result in jail time or revocation. We advocate for your continued freedom and challenge violations with thorough investigation and negotiation.

Nondisclosure

Orders of nondisclosure seal eligible criminal records from public view. We help clients restore privacy and clear their records when they meet the legal criteria.

Expunction

If you’re eligible, an expunction allows you to erase a criminal record permanently. We guide you through the process to help you move forward without the burden of past charges.

Theft

Theft charges can range from misdemeanors to felonies, depending on the value involved. We tailor our defense to the facts and fight to minimize the legal and personal impact.

Shoplifting

Shoplifting may seem minor, but it can carry serious consequences for employment and background checks. We aim to resolve these cases quickly and discreetly.

If you have been arrested for any of these crimes, you should contact an experienced Texas criminal defense attorney immediately. Never submit to police questioning without an attorney present. You have a constitutional right to have an attorney and police must inform you of this when you are arrested. Request to speak with your Fort Bend County criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights and avoid the possibility of an unjust prosecution.

Implications of Arrest and Conviction

Being accused of a crime can make it difficult to simply maintain your day-to-day life and a criminal conviction can have even more serious, long-lasting implications.

Depending on the nature of your conviction, you may face difficulty finding employment or the threat of termination by your current employer.

Juveniles with criminal records may have trouble gaining admittance into college, as well as securing scholarships, grants, and student loans.

Certain convictions may result in a loss of additional privileges, such as obtaining a driver's license or a firearm license in the state of Texas.

These are just a few examples and additional repercussions may apply if you are convicted. While being accused of a crime can impose difficulties on your day-to-day life, a conviction will result in even more serious, long-lasting implications.

20+ Years of Experience in Criminal Defense

I began my career with the District Attorney's office and have been in private practice focusing on criminal defense in Fort Bend and surrounding counties since 2002.
