Why Choose Varghese Summersett in Dallas

Board Certified Specialists

Our team includes three Board Certified Criminal Law Specialists, Anna Summersett, Benson Varghese, and Letty Martinez, plus two Board Certified Juvenile Law Specialists, Mike Hanson and Lisa Herrick. Board Certification from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization is earned by fewer than 10% of Texas attorneys and requires rigorous testing, peer review, and demonstrated expertise.

Former State and Federal Prosecutors

Several of our lawyers previously served as prosecutors, the plaintiffs in criminal cases. That trial experience is invaluable across all our practice areas. It helps us bring civil cases as plaintiffs (where the burden of proof is lower than in criminal cases), defend criminal cases more effectively (because we know how prosecutors think and build cases), and represent clients in family court with the confidence that comes from courtroom experience. There's no better training than being in trial as a prosecutor.

Trial-Ready Attorneys

Whether defending against criminal charges or fighting for injury compensation, we prepare every case for trial. That leverage gets better outcomes, and insurance companies and prosecutors know when they're up against lawyers who aren't afraid of the courtroom.

Available 24/7

Legal emergencies don't wait for business hours. Our team of attorneys is available around the clock to take your call and start working on your case immediately.

What Our Clients Say

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of cases do Varghese Summersett Dallas lawyers handle?

Our Dallas office handles criminal defense (DWI, drug charges, white-collar crimes, violent offenses, federal crimes), personal injury (car accidents, truck accidents, workplace injuries, wrongful death), and family law (divorce, child custody, property division, adoption).

How much does an attorney in Dallas cost?

Fees vary by case type and complexity. Criminal defense and family law typically involve flat fees or hourly billing. Personal injury cases are handled on contingency, meaning you pay nothing unless we win.

Do I really need a lawyer?

The stakes in criminal, injury, and family law cases are too high to go it alone. An experienced attorney protects your rights, handles complex procedures, negotiates on your behalf, and fights for the best possible outcome.
