Dallas / Fort Worth Federal Criminal Defense Attorney

A Skilled Texas Defense Attorney for your Dallas/Fort Worth Criminal Charges

Mr. Floyd Travels to State Courts Throughout Texas and Federal Courts Nationwide. Principal Office located at 4900 Woodway Dr., Houston, Texas 77056. All other locations by appointment only.

When the world thinks of Dallas, one of two things most likely come to mind: America’s Team – the Dallas Cowboys – or President John F. Kennedy’s assassination there in 1963. Ft. Worth is the other half of the largest metropolitan area in the South, and is better known as Cowtown because it was a center for trade and cattle along the Old Chisholm Trail.

But longtime citizens of the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex also know that the area is home to the world-class Kimbell Art Museum and Dallas Museum of Art, the Ft. Worth Zoo – one of the top 10 zoos in the United States – The Cotton Bowl, North Park Center, and expansive White Rock Lake.

Despite it being such a bustling Metroplex, the crime rate in Dallas-Ft. Worth is actually relatively low. The rate has been on a steady decline for the past 12 years, reducing the number of crimes by over half.

The Washington Post reported in January of last year that Dallas’s 2014 murder rate was the lowest since 1930.

Post columnist Radley Balko said the Dallas Police Department, led by Chief David Brown, has a policy of openness, is First Amendment friendly to street protests, maintains a community-oriented style of policing, and is transparent when the department uses excessive or lethal force.

But a Dallas Morning News editorial in March 2015 expressed concern about startling increases in crime in several of the 10 highest crime hot spots identified by Chief Brown. The newspaper said increased patrols, surveillance cameras, and high-tech gadgetry has failed to decrease serious and violent crime in those areas. The editors pointed out that the area around the city’s Love Field, exhibited the highest crime increase with a 55 percent jump during the first three months of 2015.

The editorial ended with the observation that the “city should be unified around higher-quality-of-life factors that emphasize safer communities everywhere.”

These numbers should not be startling. Dallas has a history of high crime and vigorous criminal prosecutions.

Law enforcement from both Dallas and Ft. Worth want to ensure that their crime numbers not only continue to dwindle but also that criminal elements get their “tough on crime” message. For that reason, getting charged with a crime in Dallas-Ft. Worth is serious business. Not only do police officers take their job of catching criminals seriously, but prosecutors are also just as hungry to lock you up and throw away the key.

For those reasons, if you are facing criminal charges here in DFW, you need the expertise and legal counsel of an experienced Board Certified Texas criminal lawyer. John T. Floyd has been practicing criminal law and helping his clients successfully beat criminal charges for over two decades. With Mr. Floyd, you can trust that both your case and your life are in good hands. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, or what kind of charges you are up against, Mr. Floyd will help you navigate the complex judicial system and fight for your rights.

Federal Prosecutions

Dallas/Fort Worth are in the Northern District of Texas. The District’s Criminal Division focuses its prosecution on a wide array of crimes: violent crime, organized crime, financial crimes, drug and human trafficking crimes, and an assortment of special prosecutions. More than 80 Assistant U.S. Attorneys stand ready in the district to handle these prosecutions. They are all skilled and resourceful prosecutors.

In 2014, the U.S. Attorneys involved in the massive 2009 City Hall corruption case were acknowledged with the Director’s Award presented by the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys Director Monty Wilkinson. All sixteen of the city officials, including former Mayor Pro Tem Don Hill, indicted in the case either pleaded guilty or were convicted following jury trials.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office works closely with local law enforcement to bring cases against child pornography defendants under Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in 2006 by the U.S. Justice Department, to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.

For example, in December 2015, a defendant was sentenced to 20 years by U.S. District Judge John McBryde following a guilty plea to just one count of transportation of child pornography.

In addition, the U.S. Attorney’s Office places emphasis on the prosecution of terrorism and cybercrime cases.

State Prosecutions

Susan Hawk is the Dallas County District Attorney and has personally tried more than 150 cases, seven of which were capital murder cases in which she received guilty verdicts in all of them. During her ten-year tenure as a criminal court judge, Hawk presided over more than 35,000 cases that earned her a reputation as being tough of violent crime defendants.

Sharon Wilson became Tarrant County District Attorney in January 2015. She immediately began to clean house of the employees of former District Attorney Joe Shannon. One of her first casualties was a 14-year veteran investigator who suffers from muscular dystrophy and whose mother died the same week he was terminated by Wilson.

Also a former judge, Wilson had campaigned on a platform to trim the budget with staff cuts, streamline operations, and pursue more efficient prosecutions. She got rid of 46 full or part-time employees, including 26 full-time prosecutors.

Wilson began her tenure by notifying area criminal defense attorneys throughout North Texas about her discovery of 22 binders containing handwritten notes made by former prosecutors questioning the credibility of police testimony. The 6,000 handwritten notes dated back to 1993.

Earlier this year DA Hawk saw a lawsuit challenging her mental competency to be district attorney dismissed by Judge David Peeples. The lawsuit had been filed by former Dallas County prosecutor Cindy Stormer who had sought to have Hawk removed from office.

The lawsuit was filed shortly after Hawk became district attorney and was hospitalized in a psychiatric facility for depression. Her hospitalization was brought about after a series of bizarre behaviors in the district attorney’s office and the firing of employees for controversial reasons.

Clearly, the offices of both district attorneys have serious problems, and these problems have a direct bearing on criminal cases prosecuted by them.

The Consequences of a State Criminal Record

There are also many collateral consequences for having been convicted of a criminal offense in Texas.

Employment. Many occupations (such as barber, plumber, nurse, etc.) require a license to work. Section 53.021 of the Texas Occupations Code authorize Texas licensing authorities to revoke, suspend, or deny a license to anyone convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude.

Education: Any student convicted of the possession or sale of a controlled substance can lose or be denied financial assistance under the Federal Student Loans and Grants program, or the forfeiture of a prepaid scholarship.

Asset forfeiture: Serious drug and white collar convictions can result of forfeiture of cash, vehicles, homes, personal property, and businesses.

Firearm: A conviction of more than one year will result in loss of the right to own or possess a firearm or ammunition.

Housing: Federal housing policies permit the exclusion of drug offenders from federally subsidized or funded housing. Most rental applications ask if you’ve ever been convicted of a felony.

Civil rights: A felony conviction results in the loss of the right to vote, run for public office, be appointed to a public office, or serve on a jury.

Because of the wide range of criminal penalties associated with state felony convictions in Texas, any one charged with a criminal offense in either Dallas or Fort Worth needs an aggressive and experienced criminal defense attorney.

The Consequences of a Federal Criminal Record

Federal felony convictions can also lead to civil forfeitures that result in the loss of personal property, including cash, homes, vehicles, planes, and other personal belongings

The proceeds from forfeited property go into the coffers of law enforcement agencies, not the government treasury. Thus, the police have an incentive to seize and forfeit as much property as possible, regardless of whether it is actually tied to an offender’s offense-related activity.

Beyond these serious to severe penal consequences, federal felony convictions have significant personal collateral consequences. They can disqualify you for a job in the health care industry, government, private security, law enforcement, many areas of the criminal justice system, and any other job requiring a security clearance.

They can, and most likely will, have adverse impact on your employment prospects with companies that routinely run criminal background checks prior to their decision to hire. They can also have a serious impact on your ability to rent a suitable residence as property owners also frequently run background checks, refusing to rent or lease to ex-felons.

    If you have hired attorneys that meet the Webster dictionary definition, ie: "Attorney " is a person that has a law degree, will not be totally honest, can take your money … More and not earn it, will put you off until he is ready to talk to you, and/or never study your case to be able to defend you. Mr. Floyd is the only attorney that doesn't fit that definition!! You will be delighted to have Mr. John Floyd in your corner! Not one attorney that I have ever met that would ever return a check that I sent to him, because he said I paid him too much! Wow! That right there should tell you something about his integrity!!!!! He has a very calm demeanor and doesn't stretch the truth even if you don't want to hear it, he will tell you the truth. Call and set up an appointment with him and judge for yourself. You are wasting time and money on any other attorney, just hire the best, Mr. Floyd.

    John is an amazing person and lawyer who is actually very understanding of how anxious I got and although it was hard to reach him sometimes because of his schedule, but never worry … More he is on top of things. He is very organized, very smart. I had the experience to go through a trial with him, and he always plans ahead well and is actually open and receptive to any ideas and comments I had and he was quick to decide which is right to use at the moment. I really appreciated working with him and Chris. Great lawyers and great people. As I was reminded by John, I am adding that the Jury reached a not guilty decision on the original charge and on a lesser charge in just 25 minutes. It took more time to write the charge and instructions for the jury than it took them to reach a decision.

  • Avatar Andrew Vo ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    John represented me in court for roughly 2 years. I won't (and shouldn't) get into any serious details, but let me tell you that I couldn't have chosen anyone better. … More Seriously.Every appearance in court I felt very comfortable. The judge and DA's had a high regard for his reputation. There is a time I recall where simply his presence greatly impacted the court's interpretation of my case and persons. We were in front of the stand and the judge could not stop talking about John's prestige and past accomplishments and how that took in relation to my case. I kept silent in front of the judge, but I observed then that John's popularity and reputation within the court had already given me a better looking rapport with the judge. Let me tell you, I never had more confidence then, knowing that the judge held him in such high regard.This is not to mention how personable John is. I'll be honest that during the stress of court, sharing a laugh with your lawyer helps a lot. This may sound a lot, but I really appreciated the relationship we had then. This is also not to mention that he was able to deal very well with any DA that rotated over the years. Seriously, John was great, prompt with information and very hands on with my case. I had great peace those 2 years until everything wrapped up.If you're looking for a lawyer, I highly, HIGHLY recommend the John T. Floyd Law Firm. He IS nationally renowned, you know. He'll get the job done to the utmost confidence. He's very experienced and has a great record to boot. I am glad to have had him represent me in court and trust me that I never thought I'd ever say that (and whoever does?). We explored every avenue of victory together and I personally enjoyed the experience, despite the seriousness of the accusation.If you have a case that needs to be represented at the highest levels, choose John T. Floyd. He's a good man and very good at what he does. Him and his team has the experience you need to make the best decisions and options to get the best outcome for your case. We got the best result I could possibly ask for, thank God.Seriously. Hire John. He knows what he's doing.Seriously.

    Had the pleasure speaking with John Floyd on a personal matter, he was very responsive, nothing but exceptional, and he really cares about you with sincerity and most importantly knows … More what is he talking about! No games or bs, his approach to my situation even though I knew it was probably way smaller then what he normally takes on, he was extremely helpful and didn't care about the size of the matter like other attorneys do. He really looked out for my best interests. You can tell he has decades of experience doing what he does just by chatting with him. I would highly recommend him.

    Words can’t describe how grateful I am for working with John, he went above and beyond my expectation. I was wrongly accused and hired many lawyers before hiring John Floyd but they … More all disappointed me, I had lost hope until a friend of mine referred me to John. From the start he had my best interest in mind and gave helpful advice, he explained the process and guided me. He put more work and time than all my previous lawyers that cost me thousands of dollars. He was constantly communicating with court and defended me more than all lawyer i had hired before him. Don’t waste your time and money like I did, believe me when I say I hired countless lawyers before him and no one came close to John. I’m forever thankful for him for fighting for my innocence and getting my case dismissed. Thank you so much🙏🏼🙏🏼

    I called Mr Floyd and left a message, with in the hour I received a call back with much more information then I could have ever expected. Mr Floyd was very informative on every question … More I had for him. He seemed like he cared, instead of like most attorneys that you talk to that are just out for a quick buck. If you want someone that is going to shoot strait with you, and has your best interest in hand, this is you guy. This was the best experience that I have ever had with an lawyer.

The result was above expectation, and I will never hesitate to recommend this firm regardless of the caliber of the case at issue.
