Practice Areas

Stephen Touchstone is a full-service criminal defense attorney practicing in the state of Texas. Any type of criminal offense, whether it is a misdemeanor or a felony, is serious. Even misdemeanor offenses can prevent you from leasing an apartment or getting a job. However, with proper representation, depending on criminal history and the nature of the offense, you may have a stronger chance of getting the charge dismissed. In some cases, you may also be eligible for expunction, which will completely clear any trace of the charge off of your record.

If you are facing a felony charge, the punishment ranges are as follows:

Punishment Range:

• State Jail Felony:  180 days to 2 years in state jail, and up to $10,000.00 fine.
• Third Degree Felony:  2 years to 10 years in prison, and up to $10,000.00 fine.
• Second Degree Felony:  2 years to 20 years in prison, and up to $10,000.00 fine.
• First Degree Felony:  5 years to 99 years in prison, and up to $10,000.00 fine.
