Denton is the county seat of Denton County, and if you were arrested here your case will be prosecuted by the Denton County Criminal District Attorney and heard at the Denton County courts in Denton — not in Dallas. That is a different courthouse, a different DA and a different bench with its own way of doing things. Ray Hindieh defends Denton clients from our Dallas offices to the south, in English and Spanish, 24 hours a day.
A Denton arrest does not go to Dallas. Your case is filed by the <strong>Denton County Criminal District Attorney</strong> and heard at the Denton County courts and courthouse in the city of Denton — a different jurisdiction with its own judges, prosecutors and local practices. What resolves a case in Dallas County will not necessarily move the needle in Denton, so we build strategy around how Denton County actually handles its dockets rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Denton is home to two large universities — the <strong>University of North Texas</strong> and <strong>Texas Woman’s University</strong> — and that shapes the caseload. Many of the cases we see involve students: DWI stops, drug possession, and assault or bar-fight allegations. For a young person, a conviction can threaten financial aid, campus housing, an internship or a professional license years down the road. We fight to protect not just the immediate charge but the record and future behind it.
Ray Hindieh once prosecuted criminal cases for the State, so he understands what a district attorney’s office needs to see to reduce or dismiss a charge and where its cases tend to be weakest. We serve Denton clients from our two Dallas offices to the south and answer the phone around the clock. Arrests do not wait for business hours, and neither do we — call 214-960-1458 any time, day or night.
