Description:

Bennett & Bennett, Houston Criminal-Defense Lawyers, is a Houston, TX-based law firm focused on defending people accused of serious crimes which include state felonies and federal criminal offenses. Led by Board Certified® Texas lawyer Mark W.

Bennett, our law firm is known for providing expert-level legal advice and for demonstrating an encyclopedic knowledge of the law backed by the tactful usage of such.

Our legal team consists of two lawyers, Mark W. Bennett & Jennifer Bennett, a husband-and-wife team of criminal defense lawyers with nearly 50 years of combined experience in state and federal courts. On numerous occasions, we've had the pleasure of meeting would-be clients who were in search of the best criminal law attorney they could find. The truth of the matter is there is no "best" criminal defense lawyer. Even when considering the experiences, training, and skill-sets of many of Houston's top lawyers, each attorney in practice has different strengths and weaknesses which make them unique. If a federal grand jury is indicting you, you were charged with a federal offense, or if you think you might be, you need the best attorney for you and your case. If we are not the best lawyers for your case, we'll do everything in our power to ensure that you find the right lawyer or law firm for your situation.

As professional lawyers who believe in what we do, we feel that the highest calling for a lawyer is to defend a person that stands accused of a crime by the government. Defendants deserve the most aggressive defense possible because if the government could be trusted, there would be no need for courts and lawyers. We know that the government can not be trusted. Whether due to incompetence, bad employees, or a rogue state, it's never safe to trust the government, especially when your freedom is at stake. If the state or federal government wants to imprison someone, it should be for a good reason that's backed by ironclad proof that can't be refuted beyond a reasonable doubt. Considering the aforementioned, there are no cases that should be viewed as hopeless or impossible, especially when we have a right to jury trial and access to some of Houston's top lawyers. When a defendant is represented by a prepared lawyer, they'll have the best chance of winning and/or getting the best results possible from the court, considering the situation of the individual charged.

Attorney Mark W. Bennett is Board Certified® in criminal law per the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and is the former president of the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association. He's also instrumental in teaching lawyers best practices when facing juries, making effective opening & closing statements, and above all else, ethics. Attorneys Mark & Jennifer Bennett have successfully represented Houstonians from all walks of life who were charged with offenses ranging from minor misdemeanors to federal drug conspiracies and RICO violations.
