Jason & his assistant Alex are amazing. Jason will tell you how it is and won’t give you false hopes on what he can do for you. Jason went above and beyond for me on my DWI charge and unlawful carrying of a weapon.

Penalties Other Than Jail Time and Fines Can Still Take a Toll on Your Life
Not every conviction will result in jail time or fines. However, it's important to understand that you could be subject to other punishments that can make your life difficult:
Community service, education classes, and counseling sessions can all be good negotiation tools to impose a lighter sentence. While they are preferable to jail time, they can still seriously affect your work and social life.
Community supervision, or probation, allows you to live outside of jail while still being monitored. You will have to abstain from some activities and maintain good behavior during this period.
A suspension or revocation of your driver's license can make your life incredibly complicated. Your ability to go to and from work alone will be inhibited, and can lead to many other obstacles.
Crimes deserve punishment, but not every person charged with a crime is a criminal. Whether the punishment you face is jail time or several hours of community service, Jason Trumpler in Austin, Texas, can make sure you aren't subjected to unjust penalties.
Want To Clean Your Record? Our Criminal Defense Team Can Help
If you have been convicted of a crime, our Travis County law firm can help you clean your record through either expungement or non-disclosure.
Expungement
Expungement erases certain convictions and arrests from your criminal record, and allows you to say you have no criminal record. If your record gets expunged, you are not required to disclose the charges while applying for a new job or while in court. However, not every charge is eligible for expungement. Our attorney will review your charges and determine if expungement is possible or if non-disclosure is the best option.
Non-Disclosure
Non-disclosure allows your record to be sealed. Any entity, like law enforcement, courts, or jails, holding onto information about the charges on your criminal record cannot release that information. This makes applying for jobs or buying property easier.

"I'm very thankful." Read About Our Client's 5-Star Experience
To whom it may concern I highly recommend Jason Trumpler if you need a great attorney and find yourself in a situation beyond your control.

How Much Can I Expect To Spend when I Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney?
The cost of our attorney taking on a criminal defense case can range from $2,500 to $50,000. Your cost will depend on the severity of the case, the type of crime, the number of offenses, and whether your case goes to trial. For example, a first-time DWI offender with no aggravated charges can expect to pay less than a third-time DWI offender charged with causing an injury.
While the cost of an attorney can be significant, it is far more affordable than extended jail time or steep fines. However, Mr. Trumpler also understands the financial stress that facing these charges can put on you and your loved ones. That is why he works to resolve your case as quickly as possible while still being able to achieve the best result.
