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 am not going to lie-I can’t stand the initial consults with Attorney’s around here because they never follow through with the initial consults. They just see money walking in their office.- Holly M.
On the other hand. David Fanning proved my pre-judgement wrong. My thought process at this point is just having someone get me into a courtroom so I can have a voice for my son because that’s what I’m used to. But David backed me up and helped me get my point across and it took me by surprise. He has this way about him-how he carries himself and puts you at ease in the process. He will be honest with you and it’s much appreciated.
Our last hearing-he helped us fight for a reduced visitation for my son. But the judge’s order was better than I had ever imagined.
Remember-you don’t always get what you pay for around here-nor do you find anyone, (in my experience), that actually cares about you. He has a great heart and will go above and beyond for you. He has brought our family peace and we cannot thank him enough. (And we appreciate the ones that referred us) -
We hired Jason for my fiancés court case. He was very helpful throughout the whole case. The case took a while but we got through it all as a team. All the ladies in office were helpful with all our ?s and needs. We are very satisfied with the ending results. Thank u all for all your help we will definitely refer you guys to people we know if needed.- Karissa T.

Jason Milam is the Best!!! I would highly recommend him to others who are in need of a great Attorney. He was very friendly and laid back but also knowledgeable, he answered all my questions about my case. He had a set plan and also had plans B & C if needed, he is very confident in his ability to represent his clients. If I ever need him in the future, he would most definitely be my first choice when choosing an attorney. Believe me when I say, that you can't go wrong when choosing him as your attorney.

Both the legal expertise and client service from Jason Milam and his team are exceptional. Most importantly, Jason makes sure he is on top of all the facts and the relevant law. In addition, he makes himself easily accessible to his clients, even during nights and weekends. He is always only a text away - much appreciated when questions and issues arise. His staff is equally responsive. Highly recommended.- Patricia
