Facing a criminal charge in Seguin or anywhere in Guadalupe County is stressful, and the decisions you make early can shape everything that follows. Lance Kennedy Law defends people accused of misdemeanors and felonies throughout the county, from the first court setting to resolution.
Defense grounded in Guadalupe County
If you have been arrested or charged in Guadalupe County, your case will move through the Guadalupe County Justice Center at 211 W. Court Street in downtown Seguin, the county seat. How the case is handled depends largely on the level of the charge. Misdemeanor cases, including a first or second DWI, are generally prosecuted by the Guadalupe County Attorney's Office and heard in the county courts at law. Felony cases are prosecuted by the District Attorney's office and heard in the district courts that serve the county. Local practice matters here: each prosecutor's office runs its docket, plea negotiations, and pretrial diversion options in its own way, and understanding how Guadalupe County moves a case from first setting to disposition is part of building a sound defense. No lawyer can promise a particular result, but preparation and local familiarity give you a real footing.
