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.

The Opinions That Matter
    “He was such a responsive and understanding person”
    Jason Milam is an excellent lawyer and advocate fir family needs. He was such a responsive and understanding person. I felt very comfortable asking any and all questions to which he provided such excellent feedback and guidance. He helped our family through a fairly complicated case but was always so patient and willing to address all of our concerns. Excellent experience!

    “David has been amazing at handling my case. From the first time I met him I never had any second thoughts.”
    David has been amazing at handling my case. From the first time I met him I never had any second thoughts that he was the attorney for me. He takes the time to discuss any concerns you have without trying to rush you and looks out for your best interests. I would use him again if needed and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

    “They got me through a very difficult phase in my life. For that I am very grateful.”
    62 years old, 38 years of marriage, being divorced. After 38 years of being married, my wife decided that we were “incompatible”. For the first time in my Life I needed an attorney. David responded to my request immediately. After a conversation on the phone with him it was clear that I felt comfortable with his law firm representing me in the divorce. Mr. Fanning connected me with Jennings Kennedy. She was very professional, yet caring and understanding. In fact, all of the people that I encountered at Milam & Fanning were friendly and exhibited compassion. They got me through a very difficult phase in my life. For that I am very grateful.

    “I have personal knowledge of the legal talent that they bring to the table.”
    Having worked with these Attorneys on the District level, I have personal knowledge of the legal talent that they bring to the table. I have also worked with several of the employees from their office. Whether you are facing divorce, parent-child custody, paternity, child support, civil matters or criminal offenses, this office can help you with all your legal needs. I highly recommend a consultation with their firm before signing with anyone else.

    “Jason was by far one of the best lawyers I ever had.”
    Jason was by far one of the best lawyers I ever had. Even his assistant she was also great. If he’s ever busy she will help you and go above and beyond for you. I had a different lawyer before Jason and they were offering me jail time . Jason came on my case and when I say he went above and beyond for me even reached out to me to talk to me besides only court to see if everything was actuate. He actually cares about his clients. Jason got the judge to go from offering jail time to getting my whole case dropped. This law firm was amazing. I had the best experience and the best lawyer. I highly recommend Jason .
    - Latrita N.
    “The reviews were true, they work extremely hard and finish cases!”
    Mr. Fanning is a professional and very responsive. The reviews were true, they work extremely hard and finish cases! I would most definitely recommend them to you and your family. Also, very pleased to have worked with David, Jennings, and the entire staff!
