The Law Office of Bret W. Schmidt, PC handles only criminal defense, including felony, misdemeanor, and civil asset forfeiture cases, across Dallas and Texas.
By limiting our practice to criminal defense matters, we bring deeper experience to every case, whether you are facing a misdemeanor, a felony, or fighting to recover seized property.
Bret Schmidt has fought every type of state criminal charge in Texas. From a first arrest to high-stakes trial, you get an experienced advocate who treats your case like it is his own.
Texas felonies carry state prison time and a permanent record. Whether the charge is drug, violent, white-collar, or sex offense, the defense has to start the day you are arrested.
Even a Class C misdemeanor creates a public criminal record. We push for dismissal, deferred adjudication, or pretrial diversion before a guilty plea is ever on the table.
From a first DWI to felony charges with prior convictions, the right defense begins fast. You have only 15 days from arrest to save your license, and we file the ALR request the day we are retained.
Warrants do not expire. The longer they sit, the more they cost you. We resolve arrest, bench, and capias warrants without an unexpected arrest at home, work, or a routine traffic stop.
If law enforcement has seized your cash, vehicle, or property, you have a narrow window to fight back. Bret has the courtroom experience to challenge improper forfeitures across Texas.
Based in Dallas and serving clients throughout the state — including the DFW metroplex, North Texas, and beyond.
All counties served. Outside this list? Call — we likely cover that court too.
