Attorney Ned Barnett is the founder and owner of The Law Offices of Ned Barnett in Houston, Texas. Nationally recognized as one of the top trial advocates in the country, Mr. Barnett has achieved unprecedented success throughout his more than 32-year legal career focusing on criminal law.

Board-certified in criminal law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and possessing an uncommon amount of legal knowledge, Mr. Barnett represents the rights and liberties of those throughout the greater Houston metro region and surrounding areas who stand accused of or are under investigation for virtually any type of felony or misdemeanor offense.

During that time, Mr. Barnett has secured numerous acquittals, dismissals and reduced charges for his clients who faced a range of serious offenses, from DWI and drug trafficking to sexual assault and murder.
