Mervyn Mosbacker Jr. | Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer

Specific Experience
I recently handled a case for a federal employee accused in federal court in Tacoma, Washington of defrauding the government. I submitted legal arguments to the court that resulted in the case against my client being dismissed. I handled a case for a woman accused in Harris County, Texas of aggravated kidnapping, for which the possible penalty is 5 years to 99 years to life. By thoroughly reviewing the case and investigating, I was able to show the prosecutor that the State was likely to lose if the case went to trial. The case was dismissed against my client. I handled a possession of marihuana and unlawful carrying a gun case for a young man accused in Harris County, Texas. The marihuana and gun were found in his car when he was stopped by the police. I was able to convince the prosecutor to dismiss the case, due to a question I was able to raise about whether the marihuana was actually his. The case against him was dismissed. I handled a case for a man accused of being a felon in possession of a firearm in federal court in Houston, Texas. He had several previous felony convictions, including violent crimes. The gun was found in the house where he was living. After a jury trial, I was able to convince the jury to find him “Not Guilty”. He was released from jail. I handled a case for a man accused of two assaults on police officers in Fort Bend County, two felony charges. The officers had gone into his apartment, and they claimed that he hit them. I was able to convince the grand jury, through a written presentation which I prepared and submitted to them, that the man should not be indicted for these serious crimes. The grand jury returned a “No Bill”, and this felony case was dismissed due to my efforts. The county later charged him with a misdemeanor case of obstructing a peace officer. The case went to trial before a jury, and my client was found not guilty due to my efforts. I am a very experienced attorney who will fight vigorously to protect your rights and to make sure we get the best result possible for your case. I work closely with my clients, who can rely upon my extensive experience as a successful trial attorney (over 150 jury trials in felony cases, state and federal). My background as a prosecutor, familiar with federal and state practice, who rose to the top as a United States Attorney appointed by the President of the United States, gives me a unique perspective that I use to the advantage of my clients. I know how prosecutors and law enforcement officers think, but I no longer think as a prosecutor. I’m on my client’s side and will use my knowledge and experience to help me fight for my client.
