How We Serve Clients

Whalen Law Office represents clients charged with state level felonies and misdemeanors throughout Texas. No matter what your criminal defense issue, Whalen Law Office is full service in the area of criminal law and criminal defense.

Federal criminal cases are vastly different from other types of criminal cases. When you face charges in federal court, it is an entirely different world from the state courts of Texas. The rules of procedure are inflexible; the charges are usually complex; and the penalties are severe. If you are in federal prison, up against sentencing, or need help with post-conviction relief for a federal crime, the legal team at the Whalen Law Office can help you.

Key Preparation and Resources

You do not have to question whether to go with a small or large firm when working with our lawyers. Whalen Law Office has the resources and connections critical to a successful defense, while offering the comfortable and caring environment of a smaller firm. Whalen Law Office has a reputation of smart and aggressive representation. It has every intention of standing behind you from the onset of the case to the final outcome.

Experienced, Dedicated Frisco Criminal Lawyer

Do not risk your future by attempting to handle this situation on your own, or by hiring an attorney who does not have extensive experience handling federal crime cases and knowledge of the federal sentencing guidelines.

Whalen Law Office is available to you and your family. Our attorneys are passionate about their representation and the rights of those they defend. They know what it takes to fight in federal court, and will work hard to seek the best possible outcome of your case. Contact Whalen Law Office as soon as possible to discuss your case.

James Whalen is a fantastic criminal lawyer. When criminal law issues arise in my other legal matters, James is someone I can trust to provide my clients with sound advice. If you’re in trouble, give him a call.

Being the first time I’ve ever needed the services of a defense attorney, I had no idea where to turn. I feel most fortunate to have come upon Whalen Law Office and Grace Tucker. They guided me through a potentially disastrous situation and ultimately achieved the best possible outcome. If you are need of attorneys that are professional and do what the promise, these are your people.

We’re going to use them but decided to go with the county the case was in but they are very professional and caring mf knows exactly what they’re talking about! I recommend for anyone nervous and confused about what to do to reach out to them for services! The only knock is the price but you pay for what you get which is top notch service trust and believe!

Ryne was incredibly kind, helpful, and understanding in working with me. He gave me all of the documents he needed up front, had one brief meeting with me, and handled the rest for me from there! Ana, the paralegal who works at Whalen Law Office was fantastic as well! Quick to reply and act on whatever was needed. While I hope to not need legal assistance again, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Whalen Law Office! Easy 5/5 stars for me!

Ryne and the team at Whalen Law Office are the most considerate, respectful, professional, honest, direct, and best law group team I have ever met. I highly recommend hiring Ryne and the Whalen Law Office if you are ever in legal trouble. They do not take, “No,” for an answer when it comes to your case, and will do whatever it takes for you to receive the best outcome possible. They are an absolute pleasure to work with.

I would highly recommend Whalen Law office for anyone who has run into legal issues. Ryne and their whole staff was amazing to work with throughout almost a full year of hearings and then trial. Ryne and team were able to get the desired outcome of not guilty in trial. I’d come back and hire the Whalen Law Office without a second thought if ever needed again in the future.

I needed an open records request to the Plano police department. When I sent it myself, I was ignored. I asked James to help, his office did get a response, but heavily redacted (and was not even relevant – I think they lied). None the less, by way of questioning them with a law firm, they became aware I was “lawyered-up”, and have not tried to trick me again. I’ve drooped my open records inquiry as it served its purpose – they are on notice. Thanks James.
