The Peugh Law Firm

The Peugh Law Firm is a Denton, Texas criminal defense practice representing clients in DWI, drug, assault, juvenile, probation, theft, fraud, forgery, and criminal record matters. The firm focuses on defending people facing misdemeanor and felony charges in Denton County and throughout North Texas. Its work includes cases involving driving while intoxicated, family violence allegations, probation violations, juvenile offenses, and requests to clear eligible criminal records through expunction or other available procedures.

The Peugh Law Firm develops defense strategies by reviewing police reports, video evidence, witness information, and other discovery connected with each charge. Its DWI practice addresses issues involving breath and blood testing, field sobriety evidence, driving privileges, occupational licenses, and ignition interlock requirements. The practice also represents clients accused of drug offenses, assault, theft, fraud, forgery, and probation violations, helping them understand potential consequences and available options at each stage of the criminal process.

The Peugh Law Firm also maintains a significant juvenile defense practice for young people accused of criminal conduct in Denton County. Its representation may involve reviewing the circumstances of an arrest, preparing mitigating information, negotiating with prosecutors, and presenting cases before judges or juries when necessary. The practice was opened in 2002 after its founder served in the Denton County Criminal District Attorney’s Office, including roles as Chief Misdemeanor Prosecutor and Chief Juvenile Prosecutor.

The Peugh Law Firm emphasizes personal attorney involvement, early case preparation, and ongoing communication with clients. The firm begins developing a defense after being retained rather than waiting for a plea offer, and clients receive updates as important information becomes available. By combining local courtroom experience with focused criminal and juvenile defense work, the practice helps clients protect their rights, evaluate realistic strategies, and respond to criminal charges with informed legal guidance.
