DWI
Felony Probation Violation by Picking Up A DWI:
Our client was on deferred adjudication for felony assault and was arrested for a new DWI. Attorney, Daphne Previti, counseled client to become very proactive prior to his court date.

DWI- DISMISSED
Shawn represented a client who was charged with a DWI. The officer pulled Shawn's client over for digging/peeling out, a city ordinance code violation. Shawn's client denied this allegation of peeling out from day one. The officer who made the stop, testified at the license hearing that he had a dash cam video and it was properly functioning on the night he stopped Shawn's client. The officer also testified he had given a copy of the video to the DA's office. Shawn requested all discovery and specifically this video. The DA failed to provide the video and ultimately said they did not have a copy of it. Shawn subpoenaed the Police Department's Custodian of Records to obtain the video. The Custodian of Records said no video existed. Because of the issues with the video and believing the video would show evidence that Shawn's client did not commit any violations, he filed a Motion to Suppress and a Spoliation of Evidence Motion, meaning the evidence was destroyed and the case should be dismissed. The Judge set the motions for a hearing. Shawn showed up ready to fight and had the hearing. He was able to convince the Judge that the evidence was exculpatory (meaning it was evidence that would help show his client did not commit the traffic violation) and convinced the Judge to dismiss his client's case based on the fact that the DA destroyed the evidence, the video. Shawn's client was very thankful that Shawn was persistent and fought every issue until the case was dismissed. Another satisfied client at the Law Office of Shawn C. Brown.

He ultimately filed a report that it was caused by our client and she was arrested at her work for Injury to a Child. Attorney Daphne Previti reviewed civil transcripts from the family law temporary orders hearings, interviewed the maternal grandmother and other character witnesses, including adult children and her ex-husband, who've known our client for more than twenty years and never saw her even raise her voice at her children.

However, to get his son to school on time, he turned his vehicle around, and when he stopped his vehicle to ask for the Deputy’s badge number, the Deputy arrested him. Alex was hired after several settings, as his prior lawyer refused to take the case to trial so Alex had little time to prepare. The case came down to whether or not the jury believed the client or the Deputy. After a swift NOT GUILTY verdict on both charges, it was clear that the Deputy’s avoidance of telling the truth during Alex’s cross-examination was the determining factor.

The Judge relented and set bond. Ms. Previti presented documentation to the Prosecutor that the co-defendant on the new arrest provided a statement taking full responsibility and the Prosecutor agreed to not proceed on the new allegation.

The State non-suited the Petition prior to the court hearing.

Others are tired of running on the habitrail to endless rehab meetings, drug screens and reports to probation, and want their supervision over to begin with a fresh start. When Daphne Previti negotiated on behalf of our client, who had been awol from the court for several years, we showed he is sober, had a home, and has support services in place that were all set up outside the court system, he was presented with an opportunity to be re-instated on probation, or to do a short stint in prison to end his tiresome probation.

After the trial, the client, an intimidating-looking, mid 30’s, bald male with a 5 inch goatee cried and hugged his brother, who happened to be a San Antonio Police Officer, his wife, and Alex. Another satisfying victory for an innocent man.
Motion to Adudicate-DISMISSED
When our client, who was on deferred adjudication, was re-arrested for a new offense in another county, the Court refused to set a bond or schedule a bond hearing until she was transported to the original county. At the bond hearing, the Judge initially denied bond, but Ms. Previti persevered pointing out the law of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals requiring bond for a person who has not been convicted. The Judge relented and set bond. Ms. Previti presented documentation to the Prosecutor that the co-defendant on the new arrest provided a statement taking full responsibility and the Prosecutor agreed to not proceed on the new allegation. The case was reset to prepare for the remaining pending counts on the State’s Motion to Adjudicate hearing. The Prosecutor and Probation Officer wanted to send our client to a state-run intensive supervision facility (ISF) substance abuse track for drug rehabilitation for a period of six to nine months. Client found a private pay alternative rehab much more suited to her needs and the Court granted Ms. Previti’s request to reset the pending allegation to allow the opportunity for client to attend the private rehab. Client made other changes to her life to distance herself from bad influences which we were able to present to the Court. Upon client’s successful completion of rehab, her Motion to Adjudicate was dismissed!
Juvenile Disciplinary School Board Hearing-DISMISSED
Our attorneys, Daphne Previt and Adrian Flores, not only accompanied a juvenile client to the probation department for his intake interview to determine whether he had any rehabilitative needs requiring his participation in court services, but also attended his disciplinary hearing at the school.

Inappropriate Conduct Investigation-DISMISSED
Client hired us to defend him on allegations of inappropriate faculty contact with a student. Client vehemently denied allegations and Attorney, Daphne Previti, launched our investigation demanding any evidence of impropriety from past and current employers, contacting law enforcement and legal counsel for employees at multiple schools. The Texas Education Agency tried to block our attempt to investigate by seeking a ruling of the Attorney General that they did not have to comply with our discovery request. We fired back with our own letter to the Attorney General. At the end of the day, client was vindicated. No charges were filed and TEA ruled client is eligible to work in Texas public schools.
Violation of a Protective Order-DISMISSED:
A family member filed a fraudulent application to get a protective order against our client. One of the downsides to being subject to a protective order is that you are likely to lose your right to bear arms.

The State non-suited the Petition prior to the court hearing.
Motion to Revoke-WITHDRAWN:
We always try to put our clients in the best position for themselves. This means different things to different clients. Some need to have a case dismissed or need to plea to a different charge to protect their license to work. Some are tired of the fight and need mental health or rehabilitative services. Others are tired of running on the habitrail to endless rehab meetings, drug screens and reports to probation, and want their supervision over to begin with a fresh start. When Daphne Previti negotiated on behalf of our client, who had been awol from the court for several years, we showed he is sober, had a home, and has support services in place that were all set up outside the court system, he was presented with an opportunity to be re-instated on probation, or to do a short stint in prison to end his tiresome probation. He chose the best route for him.
Juvenile Expulsion Hearing-DISMISSED:
Through Daphne Previti’s efforts, she was able to secure a conditional dismissal for a young client who made a thoughtless mistake that led to his expulsion from public high school.

However, this did not deter the attorneys from adequately representing the client. The case was given to newly licensed attorney John Anthony Gomez who picked up the file and was ready to go to trial after the opposing side refused to settle outside of court. With the client’s best interests in mind, Attorney John Gomez fought hard at trial and received a favorable judgment for our client, requiring the opposing side to pay our client’s: damages incurred due to the breach of contract, court costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees.

White Collar Crime – DISMISSED
Recently, our client was facing two white collar felonies. On one felony, Attorney Adrian Flores was able to show that the dispute at hand turned out to be a business relationship gone sour and the District Attorney subsequently DISMISSED the case as it was nothing but a civil dispute between business partners and therefore not a crime. In the instance of the other felony, Adrian was able to show discrepancies in the financial records and was able to get the case reduced to a misdemeanor deferred adjudication, in order to keep a felony conviction off his record.
Public Indecency - DISMISSED
Attorney Daphne Previti was approached in assisting a family sensitive case involving a multi-facet investigation where a teenage child was caught up in a sexting situation.

The client, a former Marine, with his kindergarten-age son, drove to the scene of a car accident where his wife had been rear-ended by a driver that did not have a valid driver’s license and was currently under indictment for a felony assault. A Sheriff’s Deputy then told the client to leave, and he did. However, to get his son to school on time, he turned his vehicle around, and when he stopped his vehicle to ask for the Deputy’s badge number, the Deputy arrested him. Alex was hired after several settings, as his prior lawyer refused to take the case to trial so Alex had little time to prepare. The case came down to whether or not the jury believed the client or the Deputy. After a swift NOT GUILTY verdict on both charges, it was clear that the Deputy’s avoidance of telling the truth during Alex’s cross-examination was the determining factor.

As a result, the prosecution was forced to DISMISS the case.

Drug Crimes & Unlawful Carry of a Weapon – REDUCED
Upon being pulled over for a defective headlight, law enforcement searched the vehicle of our client. After the search, our client was arrested on multiple counts of possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, and unlawful carry of a weapon. Due to the extent of the charges, our client was facing a possible life sentence. At the Motion to Suppress Setting, Attorney John Gomez prevailed in suppressing all of our client’s statements at the scene prior to him being read his Miranda rights. Following the successful ruling at the Motion to Suppress hearing, Attorney Daphne Previti negotiated an offer of 6 years deferred adjudication as opposed to the potential life sentence that our client was facing. If he successfully completes the terms of his community supervision, he will be able to apply for a non-disclosure, which will remove the public record of his arrest.
Possession of a Controlled Substance – DISMISSED

Our laws do not allow for the unauthorized detention and search of our citizens. By pointing out these violations to the prosecution, the case was ultimately rejected prior to its presentation to the grand jury.

Federal Crimes
Federal Crime- Reduced Federal Prison Sentence
I'd like to thank Shawn Brown and his team of legal experts for getting me the absolute best outcome for my situation. At one point, we were looking at almost 20 years in a federal prison and with Shawn's help, get my sentence down to only 6 years! The Feds were trying to add time by saying I was a terrorist. I am far from it. Shawn was able to file objections to these accusations and ultimately was able to convince the Government, US Probation and the Judge I was not a terrorist. Shawn is very knowledgeable and patient with his clients and knows his way around the courtroom. He's the kind of "big dog" lawyer you want fighting for you on your side. I would absolutely recommend Shawn C Brown to represent you in your case!!!
