Details
Focusing her practice exclusively on criminal defense matters, Lindsay Truly is an attorney at Hoeller & McLaughlin PLLC where she heads up the firm's DWI and misdemeanor criminal defense division. From the firm's offices in Colleyville, Texas, she provides forceful and effective advocacy for clients throughout Tarrant County. Ms. Truly has been admitted to practice before all Texas state courts since 2011.
Ms. Truly's client base is primarily comprised of area residents who have been accused by the state of driving while intoxicated by alcohol, which, while usually a misdemeanor, can in some cases rise to the level of a felony charge. She has been able to obtain positive results in many of these cases, and one tactic that she has successfully used is to challenge the traffic stop itself as being made without the requisite reasonable suspicion that a crime was being committed. Ms. Truly has been able to obtain dismissals and acquittals for many of her clients, while, in other cases, she has negotiated favorable plea agreements with the prosecution. Her successful track record has earned her a "Very Good" peer review rating through Avvo.
As an undergraduate, Ms. Truly attended the Hankamer School of Business at Baylor University, where she majored in entrepreneurship and received a Bachelor of Business Administration in 2007. She then pursued her legal education at what was then known as the Texas Wesleyan University School of Law, and she was awarded her Juris Doctor in 2011. Prior to entering private practice, Ms. Truly served as a prosecutor with the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney's Office, where she handled more than 50 jury trials. Her professional memberships include the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association.
