Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer James Sullivan Prompts Questions From Clients

Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer James Sullivan prompts questions from individuals accused in criminal and juvenile court. Some individuals are shocked and bewildered as to why they are charged with any criminal offense, much less the felony or misdemeanor that they are accused of committing.  By carefully going over and over what happened with the accused in precise detail, Sullivan is able to draw out and prompt questions as to what really occurred and offer his legal opinion as to why the person is charged with that particular criminal offense and whether or not their actions or inaction met the elements of that offense. It is a real, albeit brief and focused, education in the law.

Real education begins with a question in the life of the learner. ~Leo Tolstoy, Russian writer, 19th century
