The Law Office of Robert L. Keates handles a broad spectrum of criminal defense trials and cases, ranging from misdemeanors to felony charges. 100% of our practice is Austin criminal defense in nature, allowing us to focus only on defending you. We know the law and know how to apply it in the courtroom to get results. We provide Austin Texas with aggressive criminal defense representation on felony and misdemeanor cases and trials.

We will represent your interest and case by: seeking to have the charges reduced or dismissed, interviewing law enforcement agents and witnesses to expose and bring to light any exaggerations, false statements, or lies. We will also ensure that all evidence uncovered during the investigation was obtained lawfully, without any violations of your constitutional rights, and will conduct a detailed analysis during pre-trial discussions to make certian defense evidence is gathered for use at trial. We will seek and explore hiring expert witnesses to further the defense, and when approrpiate, negotiate with prosecutors to allow for fair treatment under the law.
