Waco Criminal Defense Attorneys
Representing Clients Throughout Central Texas
Getting arrested in Texas is a traumatic and devastating experience. Not only does a misdemeanor or felony conviction result in harsh penalties such as time spent behind bars and expensive fines, but also a permanent criminal record that can have a negative impact on your life and reputation. One of the most important steps to take immediately after arrest is hiring a lawyer to create a strong defense strategy on your behalf to obtain the best possible outcome.
At Milam & Fanning, PLLC, we are committed to protecting your rights, reputation, and future throughout the legal process. Our Waco criminal defense attorneys have more than three decades of collective experience helping our clients either get their case dismissed or obtain a lighter sentence to avoid jail or prison time.
Our legal team can review your case, determine your available legal options, and guide you through the complexities of the legal process. If we are not able to obtain a "not guilty" verdict or get your case dismissed, we can help you avoid harsh sentences—especially if it is your first offense. We also represent throughout Comal County, Hays County, Guadalupe County, and beyond.

I am very pleased with this attorney's office. From day one they were patient, kind, and very knowledgeable about the law. I knew my options before I made any decisions. The same day I went in, I was able to start getting help. Everyone in the office was amazing. If I need any further assistance, these are the attorneys that I will be using.- Cierra M.

I have used this law firm twice now, I used David for my divorce and he was great! It was affordable and he got everything taken care of that I needed. Recently used Jason to handle a citation I recieved and he was able to work with the city attorney and get my charge dismissed. We have also used Jason to take care of a court case for my son. They are great lawyers and keep you informed. Laura always emailed with updates and I was happy that I could reach Jason on his cell phone anytime I had a question. Overall great experience!- Megan N.

If you are searching for a law firm that goes above and beyond, then look no further. David Fanning handled a case for my grandson. Due to his knowledge and persistence, the case outcome was much better than we had hoped for. He is easy to contact and very responsive to calls and emails. I found him to be easy to talk to and he was understanding of my needs. *******Excellent law firm*****- Debra G.

Nobody wants to ever need a lawyer but sometimes you face inevitable situations. We went into this process knowing it was going to be a headache, luckily and fortunately we ended up here; and I CAN NOT stress enough how friendly and helpful everyone was. David worked with us on our case and from the get go he made us feel very comfortable. He is genuine and caring and always made sure we understood every single detail as well as making himself available at all times for any questions. This guys is just amazing and you can tell this is more than just a job for him. He really made us feel like family and made a difficult situation bearable. I really hope people read these reviews because you will find one of the best lawyers in Waco.- Elvia Y.

Jason Milam is the Best!!! I would highly recommend him to others who are in need of a great Attorney. He was very friendly and laid back but also knowledgeable, he answered all my questions about my case. He had a set plan and also had plans B & C if needed, he is very confident in his ability to represent his clients. If I ever need him in the future, he would most definitely be my first choice when choosing an attorney. Believe me when I say, that you can't go wrong when choosing him as your attorney.

Finding the right Attorney is similar to finding the right stylist/counselor. It’s always frustrating when you meet an attorney because they usually blow smoke at you to get your business (money). I am not going to lie, I was so skeptical at first because he is the 5th Attorney I’ve spoken with in Waco and the 3rd one I have hired. Let me tell you-you don’t always get what you pay for in this town. He is easy on your pocket and has a heart of gold. He put his whole heart into our case. It did not matter how much work he had to put into our case-he was able to fight for me to stand in front of the judge and speak for my son. Our end result of the hearing was better than my husband and I could have ever asked for. I just needed him to get me into the courtroom to be my son’s voice. BUT he backed me up and was able to get a better result than we ever thought possible. We are so grateful for him because he helped bring peace to our family.- Holly M.
