General Info
The Law Office of Robert L. Keates handles a broad spectrum of criminal defense trials and cases, ranging from misdemeanors to felony charges. 100% of our practice is Austin criminal defense in nature, allowing us to focus only on defending you.Our Law Firm's Philosophy We believe that you, as the defendant, are an integral part of the criminal defense system. You are in charge, selecting well informed goals and choices throughout the process. We begin each case with an in-depth review of the police reports and discovery, supplemented by filing discovery motions and subpoenas for more detailed evidence. If there is an issue -- or several evidence issues -- that could potentially present a defense at trial (or suppression hearing), we review that with you. If the evidence and investigation leads to little evidence in your favor, or if the prosecution can prove the offense -- we don't stop. We begin negotiations to attempt for a reduction or dismissal. Especially for student, young adults, and first time offenders, our goal is to have the case dismissed. That way, you're eligible for an expunction (which is where your record is destroyed and cleared).Affordability and Payment Plans We offer no interest payment plans on all of our legal fees. We understand that many people charged with a crime in Austin or San Marcos are students -- or have better things to spend money on than attorney legal fees. We offer low deposits on all cases, due by the first court date. After that first initial court date, we can spread out the payments over . Then, we spread out the remaining balance over several months.
