Rosenthal Kalabus & Therrian is the largest criminal defense law firm in Collin County, and our team is fully prepared to defend your rights and your freedom if you’ve been arrested and charged with a crime. We have extensive experience defending people accused of crimes ranging from misdemeanors to serious felonies. Members of our team have previously worked as prosecutors, which means that we understand how the prosecution will handle your case, and we have an inside track on how to defend you against the charges you're facing.
We have seven lawyers on staff focused on criminal defense law. We even have two Criminal Law Board Certified partners, a designation given to only about one percent of lawyers.
It is crucial to remember that being accused of or charged with a crime does not automatically mean that you’ll be convicted and subject to the harshest punishment allowed by law.
You see, the American system of criminal justice is designed to protect the rights of the accused. The burden is on the prosecution to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. They have to prove you had the motive, means and the opportunity to commit the crime. They have to find direct evidence, in terms of forensics, witnesses, security camera footage, a weapon with your fingerprints on it, etcetera, in order to meet the burden of proof and find you guilty. Every step of the way, the prosecution must comply with strict rules regarding evidence and comportment or else the case will not result in a guilty verdict and the charges will be dropped.
Much of what your defense team will do is make sure the prosecution plays by the rules. They question the evidence and how it was obtained. They will carefully interview alleged witnesses to the crime to determine if they are telling the truth. The lawyers at Rosenthal Kalabus & Therrian respect the police and criminal justice personnel, but our job is to be skeptical of every piece of the prosecution’s case. Our goal is to make the jury see the prosecution got the wrong person, or the evidence does not tell the story the prosecution says it tells, or that the police gathered evidence or interviewed suspects improperly. We know the justice system backwards and forwards and use everything we have learned in your defense.

Yes, having an attorney represent you is in your best interest and is one of the fundamental rights granted to you by the Supreme Court (Miranda vs. Arizona). Whether you’re facing a misdemeanor or a felony charge, your attorney can help you navigate the complex criminal proceedings and assist you with the following:
While a public defender will be appointed to your case if you decide not to hire an attorney to represent you, they could require you to pay for their services if the court determines that you could have afforded to hire representation. Also, it is crucial to remember that public defenders often have large caseloads to juggle, which usually means that they have less time to spend on your case. That often leads to harsher penalties, including stiffer fines and more jail time.
In most cases, it is wiser to hire a dedicated private Collin County criminal defense lawyer to represent you and put their best efforts toward your case.
No. It is never a good idea to provide a statement to the authorities without having an attorney present. While you may want to quickly demonstrate that you have nothing to hide or are worried that asking for a lawyer will make you look guilty, this is a dangerous misconception that often ends up harming your defense.
Be sure to politely refuse to answer any questions or give any statements until you have legal representation. Your attorney can communicate with authorities on your behalf and make sure that you don’t say anything that could be used against you in court. In many cases, the police or investigators are looking to get you to say something incriminating or will assist them in building their case against you, so be sure not to give them any extra ammunition.
