An Oak Cliff office in the Bishop Arts District
Hindieh Law has an office right in the heart of Oak Cliff, at 304 W Twelfth St, Dallas, TX 75208 — in the Bishop Arts District. That means you do not have to drive across town or downtown to sit down with a lawyer about your case. For people living in the neighborhoods across southern and southwestern Dallas that make up Oak Cliff, the Bishop Arts office is close, familiar, and easy to reach. You can meet in person to talk through what happened, what the charge means, and what comes next. When your family is already stressed, being able to reach your attorney a few minutes away instead of an hour away makes a real difference in how you handle the case.
Oak Cliff cases are handled in Dallas County
Oak Cliff is part of the City of Dallas, so criminal cases arising there are generally handled in the Dallas County court system. Whether you were arrested by Dallas police or a nearby agency, your case will typically move through Dallas County courts, and your bond, settings, and hearings will be set there. A lawyer who works in these courts every week knows the local prosecutors, the judges, and how cases like yours tend to be resolved. Hindieh Law appears in Dallas County courts regularly, so you are not paying someone to learn the system for the first time. That local familiarity helps set realistic expectations from the very first conversation.
The charges we defend
Hindieh Law defends the full range of criminal cases that bring Oak Cliff families through our door. That includes DWI and repeat DWI, drug possession and delivery charges, family violence and assault allegations, aggravated assault, and cases where an arrest also threatens someone's immigration status. As an Oak Cliff DWI lawyer and Bishop Arts criminal attorney, Ray Hindieh looks at how the stop was made, how evidence was gathered, and whether your rights were respected at every step. From misdemeanors to serious felonies, the goal is the same: understand exactly what the State has, protect your record, and find the strongest realistic path forward for your situation.
Bilingual defense for Hispanic and Latino families
A criminal charge is frightening enough without a language barrier standing between you and your own defense. Hindieh Law focuses on serving Hispanic and Latino families across Oak Cliff and the wider Dallas area, and we handle cases in both English and Spanish. You can ask your questions, tell your side, and understand every decision in the language you are most comfortable speaking. That matters, because the details you share and the choices you make can shape the outcome of a case. We take the time to explain the process clearly, so no one in your family is left guessing about what is happening or what to do next.
Answering the phone 24/7 when Oak Cliff calls
Arrests do not wait for business hours. Someone in your family may be picked up late at night or over the weekend, and those first hours often feel the most frightening. That is why Hindieh Law keeps a phone answered around the clock. When you call, you can get real guidance about bond, about what not to say, and about the next step — instead of leaving a message and waiting until Monday. For Oak Cliff families, having a defense lawyer who picks up at 2 a.m. can be the difference between panic and a clear plan. The sooner you reach a lawyer, the sooner someone is working to protect the person you care about.

Getting started is simple. Call Hindieh Law any time to talk about what happened, or come by the Bishop Arts office at 304 W Twelfth St in Oak Cliff to meet face to face. In that first conversation we will listen to your side, explain the charge in plain language, and walk you through what to expect in the Dallas County courts. There is no need to have everything figured out before you call — that is our job.
