Houston, Environment and Pollution Defense Lawyer

Committed to Fighting For Clients' Rights
In 1995, I started the law firm of R. Todd Bennett, P.C. with a passion to give clients their life back after facing serious criminal charges. Before starting my own law firm, I was the Assistant District Attorney for Harris County where I prosecuted hundreds of individuals. I have a firsthand understanding of the evidence prosecutors use to develop their cases, and I am well-prepared to poke holes in their facts, making sure clients' constitutional rights are protected.
Driven Criminal Defense Attorney
If you have been charged with an environment or pollution crime, you need a well-established lawyer to fight for you. Police and prosecuting agencies often have divisions specializing in air and water pollution cases. My criminal defense approach is defined by detailed preparation and collaboration. I am committed to understanding the subtleties of each case. A criminal defense attorney is not an expert on a particular business.
Before I begin my environment or pollution investigation, I dig-in as much as possible to understand what you do and the particular regulations within your industry. This detailed approach helps me convey to law enforcement why your business actions were not illegal. In other circumstances, I show that the mistakes unintentionally affected clean water or air. Often, criminal allegations involving toxins can be resolved without criminal actions getting filed. My job is to understand your business, while cooperating with law enforcement to protect your future. I prepare every case to be successful in court, and I am ready to defend you in front of a jury or judge.
