View on GoogleWhy Call Jason Trumpler Before Posting Bail?
Once you or a loved one have been taken into custody following a misdemeanor charge, getting out of jail as quickly as possible typically becomes the priority. There are several reasons why you should call Jason Trumpler before posting bail or calling a bail bondsman:
Mr. Trumpler may be your quickest way out of jail.
In Texas, bail is set within 48 hours. Depending on when the arrest occurred and how busy the courts happen to be at that time, it may take most or all of that time. By involving Jason Trumpler right away, he may be able to negotiate a writ bond (a special type only available with the help of an attorney) within a couple of hours.
Jason Trumpler can save you money.
It may surprise you to learn that bail is negotiable with the help of an attorney. If Jason Trumpler feels that your bail is set too high, he may be able to convince the judge to lower it. It's also important to understand that once you involve a bail bondsman, the fees you pay them are non-refundable, even if the charges are dropped.
In some cases, Mr. Trumpler may be able to help you secure a personal recognizance bond, which costs nothing; instead, it is granted on a promise to return for subsequent court hearings.
He may be able to get charges dropped before or during arraignment.
By involving Jason Trumpler as soon as possible, he may be able to identify factors such as a civil rights violation or a lack of evidence that could result in charges being dropped altogether. At that point, you or your loved one can go free without paying a dime in bail.

We Look At Every Aspect of Your Case
Our Austin criminal defense lawyer's background as a prosecutor gives him an understanding of how evidence and witnesses will be used against you. Our team investigates every avenue to create an optimal defense strategy and make sure your rights are upheld.
We examine every aspect of your case, including how the evidence was collected, how the witnesses were interrogated, how you as the suspect were interrogated, and more. In some cases, we may be able to identify misconduct by the arresting officers that can lead to a total dismissal.
Special Considerations Regarding Misdemeanor Charges
In some scenarios, sentencing may vary depending on the circumstances:
Repeat Offenses
If a person previously convicted of a Class A misdemeanor is convicted of another Class A misdemeanor, they are sentenced to at least 90 days in county jail. If the person commits a Class B misdemeanor, the minimum sentence is 30 days in jail.
Drugs
In the event that drugs were involved and used to commit the misdemeanor, Class A charges have a 180-day minimum in county jail.
Bias or Prejudice
If a crime is discovered to be motivated by bias or prejudice, a 180-day minimum for Class A misdemeanors is in effect.Don't Risk Your Future Call Our Austin Attorney Today

Are You a First-Time DWI Offender?
If you are a first-time DWI offender, you may qualify for sealing your records under House Bill 3016 in Texas. Known as the “Second Chance" bill, it can make first-time DWI offenders eligible for nondisclosure, which hides your records from the public and can make it easier to find a job or housing. An order of nondisclosure does not entirely eliminate your record, as it is still visible to criminal justice agencies or the government.
In order to qualify for nondisclosure, the offender must meet the following requirements:
- Had a BAC of less than 0.14% at the time of the incident
- The offender paid all fines associated with the charge
- No one was hurt at the time of the incident
Our lawyer can help determine if you are eligible for nondisclosure and ensure that your application is strong and seamless. There are many intricacies involved that require a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney to build your case, gather as much evidence as possible, and move on in life without a public conviction weighing on you. We welcome clients from throughout Greater Williamson County.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a misdemeanor lawyer get my case dismissed?
Yes, our criminal defense lawyer can potentially get your case dismissed. We identify any grounds for dismissal, such as a lack of probable cause, insufficient evidence, or a witness who is unable to testify. We cannot promise that we can get your case dismissed, but we certainly do everything in our power to achieve this outcome.
What will it cost to hire an attorney?
Jason Trumpler's fees range from $2,500 to $10,000, depending on the charges and other factors. His clients pay flat fees: one is charged up until a trial occurs; the other is charged if the case goes to trial. Most misdemeanor cases do not go to trial, especially if you have qualified legal representation. Our Austin attorney offers free initial consultations, so it costs nothing to determine if he is the right attorney for your case.
Will a misdemeanor show up on a background check?
Yes, a misdemeanor shows up on a background check because it is a crime. While a misdemeanor does not carry the same implications as a felony, it does affect many aspects of your life. For example, some employers may have policies against hiring people who have a history of any crime, no matter how minor.
Do I have to go to trial?
It depends on the alleged criminal offense and other details of your case. The majority of misdemeanor cases are resolved before going to trial by accepting a plea deal or getting the prosecutor to dismiss the case. If a case does go to trial, Jason Trumpler in Austin has extensive experience as both a prosecutor and criminal defense attorney and has taken over 100 cases to trial.
Can I defend myself?
While everyone has the right to defend themselves, it is unlikely that you will be successful unless you have an advanced knowledge of the law and truly understand the intricacies of criminal defense. We highly recommend seeking criminal defense assistance to not only make the process easier on yourself, but to significantly increase the chances of success.
What if I already have a public defender? Can I still hire my own lawyer?
Yes. Mr. Trumpler can take over your case from the public defender you were assigned. He has handled thousands of misdemeanors as both a prosecutor and criminal defense attorney, giving him the capability to seamlessly substitute on to an existing case. During your initial consultation, we can review the public defender's actions and determine the best legal strategy moving forward.

Can a Misdemeanor Be Expunged?
In some instances, a misdemeanor can be permanently cleared from your record. This allows you to deny that the crime ever happened and ultimately move on without the fear of someone discovering your past. If you are interested in expungement, our criminal defense attorney will gather as much information as possible to determine if you meet the requirements. There is a minimum waiting period before we can begin applying for expunction:
- Class C Misdemeanor: The offender must wait 180 days from the time of the arrest
- Class A and B Misdemeanor: The offender must wait one year from the time of the arrest
Get in touch with our Austin firm serving Greater Williamson County to learn more about how we can help you expunge your record.
