Paul Doyle

Paul Doyle

In matters of defending cases ranging from DWI, Fraud, to Murder, Attorney Paul H. Doyle has something most criminal defense attorney’s lack: insider experience.

As a prosecutor for the Harris County District Attorney’s office, Doyle spent almost seven years working with law enforcement to effectively prosecute the cases they filed. For example, Paul was a member of the Vehicular Assault Team. As a team member, Doyle was often present as crash scene evidence was collected, advising and training officers on the ever evolving DWI laws and crash scene reconstruction. The experience offered insight on how cases may be mishandled and has allowed Doyle to provide the best possible defense for his clients.

In addition, Doyle was assigned to the elite Special Crimes Bureau and worked with officers to handle large narcotic cases, unique homicide investigations, as well as fraud cases. The relationships he developed and the knowledge he garnered while in the Special Crimes Bureau have worked in his favor, as well as his clients’, during his tenure as a defense attorney.

“I have valuable trial experience and have seen first-hand how prosecutors approach cases,” says Doyle.
Doyle also handles cases involving sexual offenses, weapons offenses, domestic violence offenses, juvenile offenses and federal crimes such as bank, wire and mortgage fraud.

“These are tough situations and require an attorney who won’t shy away from trial situations,” Doyle says. “I’ll go the distance to ensure the best possible outcomes for my clients.”

James R. “Jim” Butler

James R. “Jim” Butler, DWI Defense

“Early in my career, I took the advice of a lawyer and mentor who advised me to specialize in one area of criminal law and to become the best that I could be in that area. I chose DWI law – it’s all I do,” says Attorney Jim Butler. “Our typical DWI client is an honest, hard-working individual, who may have made a mistake in judgement, or may have been the victim of overzealous police work. Don’t misunderstand me; I believe that DWI laws are good laws that should be enforced. Sometimes, however, innocent people get caught up in the enforcement of these laws and find themselves wrongly accused of DWI. These are the people that I fight for.”

Jim Butler and his staff have earned a reputation for their dedication and compassion.

“The first person people meet when they come into my office is Amanda Henson, my legal secretary. I just can’t say enough about Amanda. She truly cares about the people we represent,” says Mr. Butler. “That’s a quality I demand and one that you just can’t teach: you’ve either got it or you don’t.”

Jim Butler’s office is located in the Great Southwest Building, just four blocks from the Harris County Courthouse. Mr. Butler graduated with a Juris Doctorate degree from South Texas College of Law and has been practicing law for 18 years.

“Knowledge is power,” he says. “And in DWI cases, my knowledge is your power.”
