A Renowned Dallas Criminal Defense Law Firm
Fitzpatrick Hagood Smith & Uhl LLP was founded in 2004, bringing together four of the top criminal defense lawyers in the state of Texas. However, the roots of our firm date back to 1994 when Knox Fitzpatrick and Daniel K. Hagood left the Dallas County District Attorney's office to form what was then Fitzpatrick & Hagood.

A Team Approach to Criminal Defense Representation
Our firm was founded on the notion that our attorneys are part of a law firm â€“ a team, rather than a loose association of individuals. We believe that when you retain one of us, you retain all of us. We "task organize" a specific lawyer-investigation team for each case. In this manner, we provide each client highly tailored legal advice and representation based on the needs of our client and the experiences of all our lawyers. Every attorney at Fitzpatrick Hagood Smith & Uhl LLP is a former high-level state and/or federal prosecutor. Some of our partners are Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and all have been recognized by their peers as a Texas Super Lawyer in Texas Monthly Law & Politics Magazine.

Unique Qualifications and Experience
Our attorneys form a rich union of experience to criminal defense matters. Along with being former high-level state and federal prosecutors, partners at our firm have also served as United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, General Counsel to the Governor of Texas, Special Prosecutor in the Dallas County "Fake Drug Scandal," an instructor at the U.S. Attorney General's Advocacy Institute, and SMU Adjunct Professor teaching white collar criminal advocacy. Our ability to effectively defend complex state and federal criminal matters comes from our in-depth understanding of how prosecutors prepare and try cases. In many instances, the partners in our firm trained the lawyers prosecuting our clients' cases.

A Full-Service Criminal Defense Law Firm
As a full-service law firm, we defend clients charged with any state or federal criminal violation, including military or UCMJ violations. Our attorneys have handled cases ranging from securities fraud in federal court to war crimes in military court, and from capital murder in state district court to driving while intoxicated in county court. At Fitzpatrick Hagood Smith & Uhl LLP, no case is too difficult, and no case is treated as routine.
Contact our Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers

How Do You Use Letters of Recommendation in O-1 Visa and EB-1 Greencard Cases?

why do you need to use letters of recommendation in your O-1 visa or EB-1 greencard case? USCIS has to consider any evidence we submit in paper format. There are no live hearings like there would be if a case was in front of a judge or jury. And how are we supposed to convince an immigration officer, who probably doesn't know much about a given field. We can use letters of recommendation from experts in the field to highlight a person's accomplishments and add a lot of detail and color to an immigration case that might otherwise not be that exciting to read. Here we also talk about Matter of Skirball, an Administrative Appeals Office case from 2012 that held that uncontroverted expert opinion testimony must be fairly considered by USCIS.

Why You Shouldn't Use Marijuana if You Want a Visa or Greencard

while thinking about marijuana has come a long way in the past few decades it remains federally criminalized in the United States. That means people wanting to enter the U.S. on visas or green cards, or who don't want to get deported need to think about their choices. There is a narrow waiver under INA 212 (H) for very small amounts of marijuana but its not a process you should want to go through. Until marijuana is federally decriminalized, or a person becomes a U.S. citizen the better choice is to avoid marijuana. New episodes all the time - please subscribe!

How Can I Expedite My Case With Immigration?

why is your case stuck at Immigration? How can it be taking so long? USCIS has a few methods to expedite a case that's been filed. Check out USCIS' official webpage: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-gu... Here's what they say: "You may ask USCIS to expedite adjudication of a benefit request (such as an application or petition) for an immigration benefit. USCIS: Considers all expedite requests on a case-by-case basis; May require additional documentation to support a request; and Has the sole discretion to decide whether to accommodate a request. The grounds to expedite are vague, but they are: Severe financial loss to a company or person, provided that the need for urgent action is not the result of the petitioner’s or applicant’s failure to: Timely file the benefit request, or Timely respond to any requests for additional evidence; Emergencies and urgent humanitarian reasons; Nonprofit organization (as designated by the Internal Revenue Service) whose request is in furtherance of the cultural or social interests of the United States; U.S. government interests (such cases identified as urgent by federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Labor, National Labor Relations Board, Equal Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, or other public safety or national security interests); or Clear USCIS error.
