State Criminal Defense


Being charged with a crime can turn your life upside down. Your job, your family, your freedom, and your future are all at stake. You need a lawyer who has been in the trenches—someone who knows how to fight and how to win.

Jeffrey D. Parker has tried more than 200 jury trials and has spent over 25 years handling criminal cases in Texas courts. He has the experience, the courtroom presence, and the legal knowledge to mount an effective defense—whether your case calls for aggressive negotiation or a hard-fought trial.

Cases Handled

Felony Offenses

Capital felonies through state jail felonies, including murder, aggravated assault, sexual assault, robbery, kidnapping, theft, drug offenses, weapons charges, and other serious allegations.

Misdemeanor Offenses

Class A, B, and C misdemeanors, including DWI, assault, theft, drug possession, and criminal trespass.

Pretrial Matters

Bond hearings, examining trials, motions to suppress, and other critical pretrial proceedings that can shape the outcome of your case.

Probation Violations

Motions to revoke and motions to adjudicate, where the stakes often include significant prison time.

The Advantage of Prosecutorial Experience

Most defense attorneys have only seen cases from one side. Mr. Parker has seen them from both. His years as a prosecutor—handling misdemeanors in Bell County and felonies in Coryell County—taught him how the State builds cases, evaluates evidence, and makes charging decisions. That knowledge informs every aspect of his defense work. He knows what prosecutors look for, how they negotiate, and where their cases are vulnerable.

Aggressive, Strategic Representation

Every case is different. Some call for early negotiation. Others require motion practice to suppress evidence or challenge the State's theory. And some cases need to go to trial.

Mr. Parker prepares every case as if it's going to trial—because thorough preparation is what creates leverage, whether the case resolves through negotiation or verdict.

Federal Criminal Defense


Federal cases are different. The investigative resources are greater, the procedural rules are stricter, and the sentencing consequences are often more severe. If you're facing federal charges, you need a lawyer who understands the federal system.

Mr. Parker represents clients in federal criminal matters in the U.S. District Courts for the Western District of Texas and beyond. His practice includes representation at every stage of federal proceedings, from initial appearance through trial and, when necessary, sentencing.

Federal Matters Handled

Drug Offenses

Federal drug prosecutions often involve mandatory minimum sentences and complex sentencing guideline calculations.

Weapons Offenses

Including charges under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) and other federal firearms statutes.

White Collar Offenses

Fraud, embezzlement, and other financial crimes prosecuted in federal court.

Other Federal Charges

Including immigration-related offenses, federal probation violations, and matters arising from joint federal-state investigations.
