| How is a Houston Criminal Lawyer suppose to act in a courtroom? |
| Posted By Herman Martinez |

I was floored today when a felony judge told me that I was being too aggressive while trying to prevent my client from being to sent to prison. Last time I checked that was my job! In fact, this is the first time in 15 years of being a criminal defense lawyer in Houston that I was told something like this. Most judges understand the dynamics and appreciate a lawyer that is advocating for their client. I was not being offensive or rude to anyone. I understood that my client was wrong for violating his probation, but I was merely pointing out to the judge all the alternatives to prison that were available to him. Luckily, the prosecutor handling the case did not have the same position that the judge did so my client may avoid prison time in the future.

| How did Lindsay Lohan avoid jail |

Party girl, Lindsay Lohan is in criminal hot water again. Apparently, she is not doing very well with her probation. Fortunately, she was notified about her arrest warrant while working in France. I would not expect the court to call one of my clients to inform them they are about to get arrested. Perhaps, this is done in California, but it is not done in Harris County, Texas. Once she was made aware of the situation it allowed her family to post a non arrest bond on her behalf, saving her from returning to jail. A non arrest bond allows a person to make a bond without going to jail. If you find that there is a warrant for your arrest contact a bonding company to avoid going to jail. Simply them you wish to make a non arrest bond. I have previously discussed non arrest bonds here.
