Prosper Criminal Defense Lawyer

Prosper crosses a county line, a fact most people only learn after they are charged with something. The town sits across both Collin and Denton Counties. An offense on the Collin County side is prosecuted by the Collin County District Attorney and routed to the courthouse complex in McKinney, the county seat. An offense on the Denton County side is prosecuted in Denton. Different prosecutors, different judges, different bail patterns. Knowing which side of the line your case fell on is often the first useful conversation, and Kent Starr has practiced in both county systems for thirty years.

Prosper has been one of the fastest-growing towns in Texas, and that growth shapes its case mix. US-380 (University Drive), the Dallas North Tollway, and Preston Road (State Highway 289) carry heavy commuter traffic through and around the town, and those corridors see consistent enforcement by local police and the Texas Department of Public Safety. The result is a steady stream of DWI and criminal traffic cases, along with the traffic stops that turn into searches and drug-possession charges. Many of the people charged are first-time defendants who had never been inside a courthouse before.

Beyond the highway cases, Kent represents Prosper clients facing assault and family-violence allegations, theft and property crimes, sex crime accusations, juvenile matters, and the broader range of charges covered by the firm's criminal law practice. Federal exposure tied to a Prosper case moves into the Eastern District of Texas, handled through the firm's federal criminal defense practice.

No matter the charge, the same lawyer does the work at Starr Law, P.C. Kent is a solo practitioner. The lawyer the client hires is the lawyer who appears at every setting and handles every cross-examination personally. He has thirty years of trial experience, has handled more than fifteen thousand cases, speaks Spanish and Portuguese in addition to English, and offers free, confidential consultations. The office at 5900 S Lake Forest Dr, Suite 200 is in McKinney, the county seat where Prosper's Collin County cases are heard, and the firm represents clients across Collin, Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, Rockwall, Kaufman, Ellis, Johnson, and Parker Counties.

For Prosper cases that fall on the Collin County side of the line, the firm's Collin County criminal defense hub explains how those cases move through the McKinney courts, and eligible dispositions may later qualify for expunction or an order of nondisclosure.

If you have been charged with an offense in Prosper, and especially if you do not yet know which county is prosecuting your case, call (214) 982-1408 for a free, confidential consultation with Kent.
