A top-ranked trial lawyer, Mr. Barrett has successfully handled thousands of criminal cases since 1994. He built his practice on a simple promise: the person who answers your questions, prepares your motions, and stands beside you at trial is the lawyer you hired. Peter focuses his practice entirely on criminal defense, in Texas state courts and in federal court. Since 1994 he has taken more than 150 cases to a jury verdict, a number most defense lawyers never reach. That experience changes how prosecutors negotiate, because they know which lawyers will actually try a case. His peers elected him President of the Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association in 2005 after five years on its board. His writing on Texas evidence law has appeared in Voice for the Defense, the journal of the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. And his practice is bilingual: clients and their families work with him in English or Spanish.
