Trusted Legal Counsel
Criminal Law Focused
We are former Ellis County prosecutors who now defend the accused. We've built the state's cases from the inside—so we know exactly how to take it apart. From misdemeanors to serious felonies, your defense is in experienced hands.
Appeal & Post-Conviction
A conviction doesn't have to be the end of the road. We handle criminal appeals and post-conviction matters, reviewing the trial record for the legal errors that can change an outcome. With experience in appellate prosecution, we know the arguments that move higher courts—and the deadlines that can't be missed.
DWI & DUI
Drug Crimes
A DWI charge threatens your license, your record, and your livelihood—often before your first court date. We challenge every part of the state's case, from the traffic stop to the breath and blood evidence.
Drug Crimes
Assault & Violent Crimes
Drug Crimes
A drug charge in Texas can escalate fast—penalties hinge on the substance, the amount, and how the state reads your intentions. At Roeder Witt, we defend clients throughout Ellis County against everything from simple possession to manufacturing and distribution. Because we've made charging decisions from the other side, we know where these cases are overcharged and where they're won—often in the details of how police obtained their evidence.
Assault & Violent Crimes
Assault & Violent Crimes
Assault & Violent Crimes
From misdemeanor allegations to first-degree felonies, assault cases often hinge on conflicting accounts. We defend clients across Ellis County—holding the state to its burden and building self-defense and false-accusation defenses from day one.
Theft & Property Crimes
Assault & Violent Crimes
Assault & Violent Crimes
A theft conviction does damage that outlasts the sentence—because it's a crime of dishonesty, it can follow you onto job and housing applications for years. At Roeder Witt, we defend clients across Ellis County and Waxahachie against theft, burglary, fraud, and related property charges, with the perspective of attorneys who've prosecuted these cases from the other side. We challenge the value the state assigns, the strength of its proof of intent, and how the evidence was gathered—aiming for outcomes that protect your record, not just your case.
Legal Defense You Can Trust
Roeder Witt was founded on a singular premise: the most effective defense attorneys are those who have stood on the other side of the courtroom. As former assistant district attorneys with over a decade of experience prosecuting serious felonies, white collar crimes, and complex litigation, our partners know precisely how the government builds its case — and where it can be taken apart. We are not generalists. We are former insiders who bring unmatched strategic depth to every client we represent.
