If you or a loved one is facing charges anywhere in Dallas County, the case will move through the county's own courts, jail, and prosecutors — and knowing that system matters. Hindieh Law is based in Dallas County with two offices here, defends every kind of criminal case throughout the county, and answers the phone 24/7 in English and Spanish.
A firm rooted in Dallas County
Hindieh Law is not a firm that visits Dallas County — it is based here. Our main office sits on Buckner Boulevard and our second office is in the Bishop Arts District, both within the county. That local footing means we appear regularly before the county's judges and prosecutors, we know how the local courts and jail actually operate day to day, and we can get to a client, a courthouse, or a jail quickly. For families who are frightened and unsure where to turn, having a defense lawyer who is genuinely part of the community makes a difference.
Where Dallas County criminal cases are heard
Most felony and misdemeanor cases in Dallas County move through the criminal courts at the Frank Crowley Courts Building near downtown Dallas, while people who are arrested are typically booked into the county jail run by the Sheriff's Department. Class C misdemeanor and traffic matters are often handled in the municipal court of the city where the citation was written. Which court hears your case depends on the level of the charge and where the alleged offense happened, and a defense lawyer can tell you exactly what to expect at your first setting.
The cities we serve inside the county
Dallas County covers far more than the city of Dallas. We represent clients from Garland, Mesquite, Irving, Grand Prairie, DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Duncanville, Lancaster, Balch Springs, Seagoville, and the Oak Cliff and Pleasant Grove areas, among others. No matter which city inside the county the case comes from, it generally funnels into the same county court system — so we can help whether you were stopped near downtown, out in the suburbs, or anywhere in between.
The charges we defend
We handle the full range of Texas criminal matters for Dallas County clients: DWI and DUI, drug possession and distribution, family violence, assault and aggravated assault, theft and property crimes, weapons charges, probation violations, and bail and bond issues — as well as federal cases and the immigration consequences that criminal charges can carry for non-citizens. Whatever the accusation, the goal is the same: protect your rights, your record, and your future.
Fast help when someone is in jail
When a family member is booked into the Dallas County jail, the first hours are stressful and confusing. We can explain how bail is set locally, help move quickly on release, and in the right circumstances pursue attorney or writ bonds that may shorten the wait. Because we are in the county and available around the clock, we can start working while the booking is still being processed rather than waiting for business hours.
Bilingual defense, available 24/7
Hindieh Law focuses on serving Hispanic and Latino families across Dallas County, and we handle every step of a case in English or Spanish so nothing is lost in translation. The consultation is free and confidential, and someone is available by phone at any hour, because arrests do not keep business hours. Call 214-960-1458 to talk through what you are facing and what the next step should be.
