Areas Of Focus

Serious Felonies

The most serious charges that a person can face include murder, sexual assault, aggravated robbery, burglary, and major drug trafficking. If you find yourself facing one of these charges, you NEED experienced representation! When someone is accused of a very serious crime, having a dedicated criminal defense lawyer is extremely important.

Drug Crimes

When a person is charged with possession of drugs, the judge can impose penalties that range from probation to decades in prison. No two cases are alike. The criminal history is a key factor, as are specific facts when a person is arrested. We are a team of experienced criminal defense lawyers representing defendants charged with all types of drug crimes.

Assault & Domestic Violence

Many cases of assault involve domestic situations. These cases fill the dockets of Bell County courts and involve accused persons of every background. We handle protective orders, restraining orders, and emergency protective orders. This is a very serious charge requiring experienced representation.

DWI/DUI

Drinking and driving charges are common in Texas. The lawyers at Tyroch Boyd Law have a vast amount of experience defending these cases. The law in this area is very complex, involving blood alcohol content, field sobriety tests, refusal to blow, and enhanced penalties for repeat offenses.

Theft & Property Crimes

Property crimes range from shoplifting and theft to burglary and organized criminal activity. These charges can quickly escalate from misdemeanors to felonies based on the value involved or circumstances. We defend against all types of property crimes, including burglary, theft, credit card abuse, forgery, and criminal mischief throughout Central Texas.

White Collar & Financial Crimes

Financial crimes and white collar offenses carry serious penalties and can destroy professional reputations. We represent clients facing charges including fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, tax evasion, computer crimes, and identity theft. These complex cases require experienced attorneys who understand both the legal and business aspects involved.
