Criminal Defense Attorney

Kelly McMahan Law is an established Austin based criminal defense firm with a focus on Class C Misdemeanors and driver’s license related issues. We primarily take cases in central Texas, but we do assist with cases all over the state. A typical day would include traveling to one court in the morning and another in the afternoon. Generally, these courts would each be in a different county. We set a fair amount of cases for jury trial, so this job would require court preparation along with video review and trial representation. Daily court preparation can be performed either at our physical office location (in central Austin) or at home.

- Valid driver’s license – frequent travel to courts across central Texas

- Ability to speak and translate Spanish
