Exclusively Focused On Criminal Defense
The key difference for clients of The Law Office of Ray Napolitan is that Ray is 100% dedicated to protecting the rights of his clients contending with the Texas criminal justice system. He began practicing law under the mentorship of seasoned criminal defense attorney Jim Shaw at The Law Office of Jim Shaw. While Jim has since passed on, Ray continues the legacy of dedication to defending clients at his own law firm.
​
Ray stands by his clients from start to finish with a strong defense. He protects his clients’ right to due process every step of the way. When law enforcement has overreached their boundaries set by law, Ray seeks to dismiss the charges against his clients. He advocates for intervention programs, alternative sentencing and probation. When the prosecution missteps during a trial, Ray will take the case to the higher court for appeal. While there is no guarantee of minimizing harsh penalties in Texas, Ray has a track record of helping his clients get the best possible result in their cases.
