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 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.

    “We will definitely use Milam & Fanning again if need be!”
    I just got done with my second parental termination and step parent adoption with David. Everyone here is nice and professional, they showed compassion every step of the way and even with bumps along the way they showed the same emotion with us and celebrated when it was all finished. I would recommend David and his team to anyone who needs a good lawyer. We will definitely use Milam & Fanning again if need be!

    “Jason was by far one of the best lawyers I ever had.”
    Jason was by far one of the best lawyers I ever had. Even his assistant she was also great. If he’s ever busy she will help you and go above and beyond for you. I had a different lawyer before Jason and they were offering me jail time . Jason came on my case and when I say he went above and beyond for me even reached out to me to talk to me besides only court to see if everything was actuate. He actually cares about his clients. Jason got the judge to go from offering jail time to getting my whole case dropped. This law firm was amazing. I had the best experience and the best lawyer. I highly recommend Jason .

    “He cares to fight hard for your personal interest using his knowledge and professionalism.”
    Jason Milam has done a excellent job representing me in a few personal legal matters over the past 4 years. He cares to fight hard for your personal interest using his knowledge and professionalism.
    - Pamela V.
    “Highly recommended.”
    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.
