DAN LAZARINE
Criminal Defense Attorney

Dan Lazarine dedicates his practice to helping people accused of crimes. He is energized by the opportunity to stand up for others, analyze complex legal issues, and help his clients get back to the people, work, and life they love.

Dan fights for the underdog. He always has. And make no mistake - every criminal defendant in Texas is an underdog regardless of the facts of the case or the accused’s position in society. That’s because every criminal defendant in Texas is up against the full force and power of the government: police officers, prosecutors, judges, and probation officers each bring the force of their authority and their power in the system to prosecute criminal defendants.

Taught that the world owes him nothing and that every moment counts, Dan is persistent, gritty, and driven to work harder than those around him. Dan believes that it takes relentless pursuit to achieve one’s goals. To solve problems, Mr. Lazarine studies the circumstances, develops a plan, and executes the plan. Dan applies these values to his law practice and his clients.
