What happened before an arrest can sometimes affect how the current allegations are understood. At The Medlin Law Firm, we review prior events when they provide context for statements, relationships, disputes, or circumstances connected to a Fort Worth criminal case.

Our attorneys handle DWI, assault, theft, drug charges, domestic violence, weapons offenses, felonies, and other criminal matters. We look at relevant history without assuming that earlier events automatically prove anything about the present accusation.

Years of experience help us identify when background information may explain conduct, clarify a relationship, or challenge the way a situation has been presented. We also consider whether that information is legally significant.

Context can matter, but it has to be used carefully. We work to separate relevant background from unfair assumptions and help clients understand how prior events may or may not affect the case moving forward.
