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.

    David has been amazing at handling my case. From the first time I met him I never had any second thoughts that he was the attorney for me. He takes the time to discuss any concerns you have without trying to rush you and looks out for your best interests. I would use him again if needed and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

    “We are SO beyond glad we picked him and would recommend this firm to anyone!”
    Hired David Fanning to represent us with getting visitation for our granddaughter, as the other grandparents were trying to keep us from seeing her. He did a FANTASTIC job, making sure we had set visits during the process and a solid final order with set dates from now until she turns 18. David is a Very intelligent, super easy to work with , guy! We never had to go to court, which was great! He dealt with their lawyer and got everything all set up through them. We are SO beyond glad we picked him and would recommend this firm to anyone ! Thank you so much David for all that you did !

    “The wisdom and professionalism was greatly appreciated.”
    I will start off by saying the entire staff at the Milam and Fanning attorney office was such a pleasure to work with even under circumstances that were not pleasant. David worked intently for us & with us as he guided us through a divorce with our elderly father, which was something we never dreamed would happen at his age. The wisdom and professionalism was greatly appreciated. This group also made you feel extremely comfortable in their office, and we actually enjoyed the time that we spent there. We might actually stop by periodically to just say hi to them in the future.

    “My first choice when choosing an attorney.”

    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.
