If you’ve been accused of a crime, your future, freedom, and reputation are at stake. At Looney Smith Conrad & Hefti P.C., we fight for the accused with precision, integrity, and an unmatched record. From 1995 to 2024, Paul Looney tried 60 criminal jury trials resulting in zero final convictions. Led by renowned trial attorney Paul Looney, our team provides strategic and aggressive criminal defense for clients in Houston, throughout Texas, and across the United States.
We handle every level of criminal offense – from misdemeanors to the most serious felonies – and offer around-the-clock support during emergencies.
If you’re facing charges for assault, aggravated assault, or domestic assault, you need legal defense that understands Texas Penal Code intricacies and how to challenge intent, injury, and self-defense claims.
Charged with unlawful entry or burglary of a home, vehicle, or business? Whether it’s a misdemeanor or first-degree felony, our defense team will analyze the case and fight to suppress illegally obtained evidence.
False accusations of child abuse can destroy lives. Our team defends parents, caregivers, and professionals against criminal charges involving physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.
From fraud to securities violations, we defend individuals and corporations accused of crimes committed in a business setting. These cases often overlap with federal and white collar investigations.
Domestic violence charges are emotionally charged and legally complex. We defend against allegations involving spouses, romantic partners, roommates, and family members.
Whether you're accused of simple possession or federal drug trafficking, drug crimes carry life-altering penalties. We challenge search and seizure violations and improper police conduct.
A drunk driving arrest can cost you your license, career, and freedom. We represent drivers accused of DWI, DUI, and BWI (boating while intoxicated) and protect your rights from the roadside stop to the courtroom.
Allegations of gang affiliation or involvement in a criminal combination can drastically enhance charges. We fight EOCA allegations head-on by attacking the underlying offense and supposed group association.
If you’ve been acquitted, your charges were dismissed, or you were never formally charged, you may be eligible to clear your criminal record through expunction.
When a minor faces criminal charges, the stakes are high and the process is different from adult courts. We represent juveniles and fight to protect their future.
These are among the most serious drug-related offenses in Texas. We challenge the evidence in cases involving undercover buys, confidential informants, and search warrants.
Despite changing laws across the country, marijuana remains illegal in Texas. If you’ve been arrested for possession, sale, or paraphernalia, don’t face it alone.
Homicide, manslaughter, and capital murder charges carry the most severe consequences in the justice system. We handle high-profile and life-or-death cases with strategic and relentless defense.
If you completed deferred adjudication, you may be eligible to seal your record through a petition for nondisclosure. This legal tool limits public access to your criminal record.
Robbery involves force or threat of force while committing theft. It’s a second-degree felony—and even more serious if a weapon or elderly victim is involved.
Accusations of sexual misconduct or assault can result in lifetime sex offender registration. We provide aggressive, discreet representation for clients facing these life-shattering charges.
From shoplifting to grand larceny, we defend against theft allegations of all types and values. Our goal is to reduce or dismiss charges and protect your record.
Our firm represents clients in state and federal court for charges including fraud, embezzlement, bribery, and money laundering. We understand financial investigations and how to challenge complex paper trails.
