It’s not uncommon for our clients to ask us how we’re going to help them with their case. In other words, do we have a strategy that we think can get them “off.”
At Tad Nelson & Associates, we’ve built our reputation on a foundation of robust, personalized defense strategies that reflect the uniqueness of each case. Our strategies and the way we handle our clients are grounded in our profound respect for the legal process and our commitment to our clients.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at a few strategies we’ve used from time to time to assist our clients.

Crafting Defense Through Experience and Innovation
The DUI Case That Wasn’t
In Galveston County, a lady was charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) after failing a field sobriety test. Given our extensive experience with drunk driving cases, we were skeptical about the evidence due to the subjective nature of such tests.
Our approach combined a rigorous examination of the procedural aspects of the stop and arrest with a scientific analysis of the sobriety tests administered.
By leveraging our education as ACS/CHAL Lawyer-Scientists, we demonstrated the inherent flaws in the sobriety testing process. We also highlighted that our client’s alleged impairment could be attributed to a medical condition rather than alcohol consumption.
This type of scientifically-backed defense strategy led to the dismissal of the Galveston DUI charge. If you’re facing criminal charges for Driving While Intoxicated, this case underscores the importance of retaining a DUI defense lawyer with the skills to uncover the truth.
The Misdemeanor Misinterpretation
One of our clients in Harris County client faced misdemeanor charges following an altercation at a Downtown Houston nightclub that resulted in public disturbance and assault charges.
The odds seemed stacked against him until we delved deeper into the circumstances surrounding the incident. By gathering comprehensive witness statements and leveraging local surveillance footage from a nearby Exxon gas station, we crafted a defense that showcased our client as a peacemaker rather than an instigator.
This case illustrated the significance of contextual relevance in legal defense. Our ability to construct a narrative supported by evidence that was aligned with Texas law (mutual combat) led to a full dismissal of the charges against our client. Again, underscoring the power of a defense strategy rooted in a thorough understanding of the facts of the case and how the law is written to apply to those facts.
The Felony Charge with a Flawed Foundation
One of our clients was stopped by the Houston Police Department and accused of speeding on the Katy Freeway. He was subsequently accused of trafficking cocaine. Then, you guessed it, he was arrested.
In short, this was an intricate case involving felony drug charges for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.
We took up the challenge of dissecting tons of evidence from bodycam footage, dashcam footage, and our client’s recording of the police encounter on his cell phone. Evidence that purportedly linked our client to the crime.
The turning point came when we identified procedural errors during the search and seizure process. This, coupled with an in-depth forensic analysis, questioned the reliability of the evidence and the legality of the arrest.
Referencing the Constitution of the United States, we argued the violation of the Fourth Amendment rights of our client. Ultimately, this strategy led to the dismissal of the felony charges.
