Need a criminal defense attorney in Fort Worth?

Facing criminal charges in Texas state courts? I am criminal defense lawyer Patrick Curran. I’ve been defending people against felony and misdemeanor charges in Tarrant County criminal courts for more than 20+ years. Criminal defense is all I do. No case is too big or too small.

Before becoming a defense attorney, I was an Assistant District Attorney so I’ve seen criminal cases from both sides of the aisle. I understand how and why cases get charges the way they do. I understand the limits of criminal investigations and how “evidence” can be far from actual proof of guilt. Put my vast experience to work protecting your rights.

Call (817) 714-5529 or contact me online if you have been charged.
