Reading a book is one of the best ways to pass the time, learn new ideas, or lose yourself in a mystical world. It doesn’t matter if you want to improve your self-esteem, discover new information related to your interests, or improve upon some of your own skills — books can help. October is National Book Month, so there’s no better time to pick up one of your comfort reads or try something new. For those seeking more information, one of our best recommendations is “Exposing the Truth” by our very own Stephen Hamilton and Shane Byrd. This book provides a deep dive into your rights and the Texas Criminal Justice System. Most Americans assume prosecutors and law enforcement officers act as protectors of the law. They think these individuals are just trying to do their job and find the guilty person responsible for the crime. In other words, you have nothing to worry about if you’re not guilty. As criminal defense attorneys, we know this couldn’t be further from the truth. Your Guide to the Justice System Exposing the Truth
“Great team of people who really care and do their absolute best to give you the best possibility in your case.” - Jalan T. HAPPY TCDG CLIENTS

You have to remember that both police officers and prosecutors are not impartial players in the court system. They both work for the state, and if they brought charges against you, they plan to do everything they can to convict you. At this point, they are no longer trying to reveal “the truth” or “protect the innocent.”
