When Putting Your Life In The Hands Of A Criminal Defense Team, What Three Things Must You Have?

Knowing that the Pelley Criminal Defense Team has so many other satisfied clients is incredibly comforting and reassuring.

“I was faced with [many] first degree felonies, which meant 5-99 years behind bars. It was terrifying. You are not only a great attorney, but a very honest man with integrity…you saved my life.” — K.T. (36 State and Federal Mortgage Fraud Investigations – all of which were dismissed).

“Legal Issue? I don’t have one, very much due to … Mr. Quinton Pelley. It has been five years, a month and a few days since an event took place in my life that no one to this day has understood, myself included. The family that the Lord has given me does not often speak of you, Quinton, but when we do, we speak of you fondly. Much has changed since we first met, all for the better…” — P.R. (Assault on a Police Officer. State’s Offer: 8 Years TDC [Insanity Defense] – Felony Case Dismissed).

“You are good lawyers. You did exactly what you said you were going to do. You always told me the truth, and never made my situation seem better or worse than it was. You are my friends.” B.R. (Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child – Grand Jury “No-Bill,” Charges Dismissed, and we got B.R. his son back.)

There Is Light At The End Of The Tunnel. We Are Ready To Lead You To Safety.

DO NOT GIVE UP. To arrest you, the police only need ” probable cause.” That is very simple for them. However, the District Attorney must prove you guilty “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” which is the highest evidentiary standard in the law. Just because you have been arrested or are under investigation DOES NOT mean that you are guilty. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY!

WE CAN HELP YOU. You do not deal with the criminal justice system on a daily basis. We do. What people do not know about their constitutional rights often hurts them. You would not go into a gunfight with a butter knife. If you performed surgery on yourself, you would likely bleed to death. Ask yourself why you would even consider going into court facing incarceration without the best representation that you can find.

CALL US TODAY. YOU HAVE FOUND A SAFE PLACE. The initial consultation is free. We have helped thousands of clients in their time of need since 1974 … and we will be happy to help you in your crisis. See Mr. Pelley today before it is too late.

Case Results

Charge: Sexual Assault of a Child
Charge: Improper Relationship with Educator & Student

High School Coach D.H.I. was indicted for having sex with one of his 15 year-old female student athletes. Prior to the time he came in to visit with Mr. Pelley, D.H.I. had hired and fired 3-4 other lawyers and paid them a lot of money he never got back. The District Attorney was adamant that he wanted D.H.I. to go to prison and refused to offer probation. Prior to hiring Mr. Pelley, D.H.I. was jailed for months for violating his bond conditions by getting caught with the alleged victim in his truck. D.H.I. later reported to Mr. Pelley that the judge told him, "If I see you again, I am going to bury you under the jail."

Unhappy with his prior 3-4 lawyers and facing 20 years in prison and a lifetime of registration as a sex offender, D.H.I. hired Mr. Pelley. Mr. Pelley set the matter for a jury trial after doing his own independent investigation. After Mr. Pelley got both cases dismissed prior to trial, D.H.I.'s parting words to him were simply, "Thank you. Hiring you was the best decision I ever made."

- D.H.I.

Result: Dismissed

Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child case dismissed after rejecting the D.A.'s final offer of 30-Years in prison.

Our client was accused of repeatedly raping his pre-teen daughter and was facing life in prison if he was convicted. Prior to hiring us, his bond was revoked for going near a school zone and the State of Texas indicated they never wanted him to see the light of day again. His family came to us for help. After several aggressive moves, we got all of the charges dismissed. T.A.R.

Felony Assault by Choking/Impeding Breath case "No-Billed" by the Grand Jury and the charge was dropped.

Police arrived at the scene after neighbors called the Frisco police complaining that there was a domestic disturbance next door. They found broken china and dishes all over the floor downstairs. The fiancé was screaming and crying hysterically with red marks all over her neck and chest. Our client had locked himself in the upstairs bathroom where the police located him. With guns drawn, the police arrested our client who posted bond and made a beeline for our office. We submitted a packet to the D.A. and within about a month, the charges were dismissed and he avoided not only 10 years in prison but also a lifetime of regret and misery. A.B.

Close to 40 State and FBI investigations for Mortgage Fraud (each carrying 99 year prison sentences). EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE CHARGES DISMISSED!

Aggressive State and FBI investigations were conducted for several years on our client for a multi-million dollar conspiracy. Convinced that she was going to spend the rest of her life in federal prison or the state Pen, she turned to us for help. And help we did. Not only did she not spend one second in prison, all the federal charges and state charges against her were completely dismissed. Despite being caught red-handed, and despite confessing to the authorities, her criminal record is clean as a whistle.K.D.T.

The Barbie and Ken Divorce. We got "Ken's" assault-family violence charges dismissed and prevented "Barbie" from stealing his kids.

This affluent and very attractive couple had a toxic relationship. On more than one night, "Barbie" called the police and said that he assaulted her. "Ken" hired another criminal attorney who represented him for months throughout the pendency of their divorce. That attorney advised "Ken" to plead the case out and go on probation. Had Ken taken that horrible advice, his "family violence" admission would have deprived him full access to his children and subjected him to substantial alimony obligations. Ken fired that law firm, hired us, and in one single appearance in Court our attorney convinced the State agreed to dismiss the case. This is a prime example of how unique this area of criminal law is and how you need an attorney who concentrates his practice on crimes of violence. B.P.

Two Delivery of a Controlled Substance in a School Zone cases dismissed after our Motions to Suppress were Granted.

Nevertheless, they hired us and within 2 months all charges were dismissed.C.S.
