Waco Criminal Defense Attorneys
Representing Clients Throughout Central Texas
Getting arrested in Texas is a traumatic and devastating experience. Not only does a misdemeanor or felony conviction result in harsh penalties such as time spent behind bars and expensive fines, but also a permanent criminal record that can have a negative impact on your life and reputation. One of the most important steps to take immediately after arrest is hiring a lawyer to create a strong defense strategy on your behalf to obtain the best possible outcome.
At Milam & Fanning, PLLC, we are committed to protecting your rights, reputation, and future throughout the legal process. Our Waco criminal defense attorneys have more than three decades of collective experience helping our clients either get their case dismissed or obtain a lighter sentence to avoid jail or prison time.
Our legal team can review your case, determine your available legal options, and guide you through the complexities of the legal process. If we are not able to obtain a "not guilty" verdict or get your case dismissed, we can help you avoid harsh sentences—especially if it is your first offense. We also represent throughout Comal County, Hays County, Guadalupe County, and beyond.

The Opinions That Matter

“I cannot thank or recommend him enough!”- Misty B.

If you are looking for amazing representation, stop now. Everyone at this firm including the office staff is amazing! I have hired David twice, one divorce case and one civil. I was treated with the same kindness and compassion both times. I always felt understood and was never treated like just another dollar sign. He is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and the perfect combination of easy to talk to meets highly professional. Jason Milam even took the time to step in and give his advice on something, although brief, it was greatly appreciated. He definitely didn't have to do that. There isn't another firm I would trust to handle a case for me!- Casey E.

62 years old, 38 years of marriage, being divorced. After 38 years of being married, my wife decided that we were “incompatible”. For the first time in my Life I needed an attorney. David responded to my request immediately. After a conversation on the phone with him it was clear that I felt comfortable with his law firm representing me in the divorce. Mr. Fanning connected me with Jennings Kennedy. She was very professional, yet caring and understanding. In fact, all of the people that I encountered at Milam & Fanning were friendly and exhibited compassion. They got me through a very difficult phase in my life. For that I am very grateful.- Jeff R.

Having worked with these Attorneys on the District level, I have personal knowledge of the legal talent that they bring to the table. I have also worked with several of the employees from their office. Whether you are facing divorce, parent-child custody, paternity, child support, civil matters or criminal offenses, this office can help you with all your legal needs. I highly recommend a consultation with their firm before signing with anyone else.- Bobbi H.

I have used this law firm twice now, I used David for my divorce and he was great! It was affordable and he got everything taken care of that I needed. Recently used Jason to handle a citation I recieved and he was able to work with the city attorney and get my charge dismissed. We have also used Jason to take care of a court case for my son. They are great lawyers and keep you informed. Laura always emailed with updates and I was happy that I could reach Jason on his cell phone anytime I had a question. Overall great experience!- Megan N.
