Precinct 4 case DISMISSED? Don’t be surprised to see it get REFILED!
Show Me The Justice congratulates Defense Attorney MARCOS ADROGUE AND HIS FIRM for earning the MOST misdemeanor dismissals for the month of January 2022! (Sorry if I missed some female attorneys whose name is not consolidated by the clerk due to a name change)
(Source: Harris County District Clerk’s Online Services – CrimDisposMonthly spreadsheet – dismissals when convicted of another charge or case refiled is usually excluded but the District Clerk’s website is not functioning as normal. Does not include attorneys whose names do not appear as attorney of record on clerk’s spreadsheet. Attorneys above are mostly court appointed. Sorry if I miss some female attorneys who show up under different names)
Note: The following spreadsheets, standings, charts, graphs and compilations are NOT 100% accurate and should not be relied upon as authoritative information.
ALL VERDICTS by ATTORNEY last name – (OVER 2,200 TRIAL VERDICTS) starting February 1, 2017 from the Harris County Criminal Courthouse (for personal use ONLY) – some verdicts are listed more than once because each co-counsel gets their own listing
Trials consist of a jury selected or a court trial initiated. (Trials by visiting judges are not included – see above “Judges in Trial” for that information)

Great tips from the Harris County Court Reporters! I interviewed 12 of some of the best court reporters working the Harris County Criminal Courts and got their “inside information” on how jurors, lawyers, witnesses and judges can improve in trial to make it easier for the court reporter to take down ALL the information required of them for an excellent record.
