When your freedom, your record, and your future are on the line, the quality of your legal representation makes all the difference.

Every case is handled with the seriousness it deserves and the personal attention you deserve.
Criminal Defense Practice Areas
Fort Worth DWI Defense Attorney
A DWI charge in Texas carries serious consequences — including steep fines, loss of your driver's license, and potential jail time. Texas DWI laws rank among the toughest in the nation, and navigating the legal and scientific complexities of a DWI case requires specialized knowledge and experience. Attorney McLarty understands the science behind DWI testing, knows how to challenge the evidence against you, and can help you obtain an Occupational Driver's License so you can continue driving to work while your case is pending.
Drug Charge Defense in Fort Worth, TX
A drug conviction can follow you for life — affecting your ability to find work, secure housing, or qualify for a loan. Attorney McLarty is experienced with the full range of drug-related offenses and is deeply familiar with diversion and treatment programs available in Tarrant County that can result in a case dismissal rather than a conviction. Don't let one mistake define your future — let us build a plan to minimize punishment and protect your record.
Assault Defense Attorney: Misdemeanor & Felony
Assault charges, whether misdemeanor or felony, are classified as violent offenses and can have lasting consequences on your personal and professional life. Attorney McLarty begins building your defense immediately upon taking your case, working to reduce charges, negotiate a dismissal, or prepare a compelling case for trial. When your reputation and freedom are at stake, you need an attorney who acts fast and fights hard.
Occupational Driver's License in Fort Worth
If your driver's license has been suspended — whether due to a DWI case, unpaid tickets, or another reason — you may still be eligible for an Occupational Driver's License. This restricted license allows you to drive to and from work and for other essential needs while your situation is being resolved. Attorney McLarty can guide you through the process quickly so you can get back on the road.
Clear Your Record: Expunctions & Non-Disclosures
An old arrest or charge showing up on background checks can be a serious obstacle in your life. Depending on the outcome of your case, you may be eligible for an expunction (complete removal of the record) or a non-disclosure (sealing of the record from public view). Contact us for a free consultation to find out if your case qualifies — you may be closer to a clean slate than you think.
Traffic Ticket Attorney, Don't Just Pay That Ticket
Paying a traffic ticket might seem like the easy solution, but it's often a costly mistake. Unpaid or uncontested tickets can result in **higher insurance premiums, license suspension, and increased court fines**. At McLarty Law Firm, we post bonds on your ticket cases, represent you in court, negotiate fines down, and work to get as many dismissed as possible — all to protect your driving record and your wallet.
