Karnes City Criminal Defense Lawyer

Karnes City is the seat of Karnes County and the heart of Eagle Ford Shale country. The oilfield boom brought a lot of traffic, a lot of out-of-town workers, and with them a lot of arrests: DWIs on dark county roads, drug charges, commercial-vehicle stops, and disputes that turn into assault cases. Whether you live here or you’re working the field far from home, an arrest in Karnes County is serious, and it’s handled at the Karnes County Courthouse right here in Karnes City.
