Derk A. Wadas

I have been practicing criminal law and procedure exclusively for the past twenty one years, first as a criminal prosecutor for six years and, as a defense attorney since 2005. I have been Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 2011, and devote my practice to the defense of others. I have been selected as every year since 2017 as a Texas Super Lawyer in Criminal Law.
