The Short Answer
Deandra Grant Law defends sex crime accusations across Dallas County, from sexual assault and indecency allegations to online solicitation cases. These charges are prosecuted by a specialized Dallas County DA unit at the Frank Crowley Courts Building, and the lasting penalty is often the registry, not the sentence. Early, evidence-level defense matters, and consultations are free and confidential.
Sex Crimes Defense in Dallas
Facing a Sex Crime Allegation in Dallas County?
Deandra Grant Law defends people accused of sex offenses in Dallas and throughout Dallas County. The Dallas County District Attorney maintains a specialized unit for these cases, staffed by prosecutors who try them every day, and most of the charges in this family are felonies heard in the Criminal District Courts at Frank Crowley. An accusation alone can cost a job, a custody arrangement, and a reputation, which is why the defense has to start quietly and early, before charges are filed when possible.
These cases are built on evidence that can be examined: the recorded interview, the phone extraction, the forensic testing. Partner Douglas Huff is an ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist with digital forensics training, and managing partner Deandra Grant is a former prosecutor with more than 30 years of trial experience. When the State’s case is an account plus a forensic record, we take the record apart piece by piece.

What to do firstLocal Knowledge
What Actually Happens to a Sex Crime Case in Dallas County
Dallas County runs its criminal cases differently from the counties around it. These are the local specifics that shape a defense here.
Where your case is heard
Most sex offense charges are felonies, heard in the Criminal District Courts at the Frank Crowley Courts Building. Misdemeanor charges like indecent exposure go to the County Criminal Courts.
Who prosecutes
The Dallas County District Attorney maintains a specialized unit for sex crimes, staffed by prosecutors who try these cases every day. The defense has to be built to that standard.
The interview is the case
Cases involving children are usually built on a recorded forensic interview. How that interview was conducted is examinable, and we examine it.
The devices are the case
Solicitation and image cases rest on phone extractions and chat logs. Douglas Huff's digital forensics training means those get read at the technical level, not accepted.
Grand jury review comes first
Every Texas felony passes through a grand jury before indictment. A defense packet presented at that stage can end a case before a charge is ever filed, and accusation-driven cases are where that presentation matters most.

What Sets This Defense Apart
Every firm says it will fight for you. What actually decides a sex crime case is how well your lawyer understands the evidence.
Former Dallas County Prosecutor
Deandra Grant prosecuted cases as a Dallas County Assistant DA, so she knows exactly how the State builds them.
Two Forensic Lawyer-Scientists
Deandra Grant and Douglas Huff both hold the ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist designation from the American Chemical Society.
Digital Forensics Training
Douglas Huff has completed digital forensics training, and phone extractions and device evidence get examined, not accepted.
500+ Trials Since 1994
We work only in DWI and criminal defense, and we have tried more than 500 cases to verdict.
Published Authorities
Seventeen legal books and resources, including the treatise other Texas defense attorneys keep on their desks.
We Read the Evidence
Lab reports, phone extractions, DNA: we request the underlying records and challenge them at the technical level, not the summary the State hands over.
After You Hire Us
What We Actually Do on Every Case
From the first call, in order:
- Reach the case before indictment when we can, where a grand jury packet can end it before a charge is filed
- Demand the dash, body, and surveillance video before it’s destroyed
- Pull the full discovery file under Article 39.14: offense reports, witness statements, forensic records
- Examine the forensic evidence ourselves: lab records, chain of custody, the underlying data, not the summary
- Investigate the case the police didn’t: the witnesses never interviewed, the footage never pulled
- File the motions the evidence supports, because suppression is how weak cases end
- Build your mitigation file, with clinical assessments, at no cost to you
- Try the case if the offer isn’t right, which is why the offers get better
We quote a flat fee after a consultation at no cost to you, so the investment is known before you commit.
