Harris County Criminal Lawyer James Sullivan has represented
more than 3,000 clients in criminal and juvenile courts in Harris and
surrounding counties since 1994. The cases listed in the graph above represent
just the burglary, theft, forgery and fraud cases between 2008 to 2013. A graph covering the cases
represented over the past 30 years would be much too lengthy to post.
Note: When a Grand Jury dismisses
a felony complaint (by way of no bill), it means that the grand jury did not find
probable cause and the accused can seek an expunction of the criminal record. All felony cases dismissed by the grand jury
were no billed after the grand jury reviewed an extensive defense packet prepared
by Attorney James Sullivan.
