James, Reynolds, Spiegelhauer & Ask

We are excited about the last two weeks as both Jake Spiegelhauer and Hutton Ask obtained acquittals in two different counties. Jake obtained the acquittal on a serious felony charge in Lee County against two seasoned prosecutors in a hard fought case. The jury came back with the not guilty verdict Friday night after hearing testimony and arguments all week.

Hutton’s acquittal was Monday night in a misdemeanor case in the Brazos County Court at Law. Hutton worked hard against an excellent prosecutor and we are proud of both of these men! Way to go guys

To say we have had a busy summer at James, Reynolds, Spiegelhauer & Ask would be an understatement. Indeed, Jake Spiegelhauer just had our client acquitted by a Brazos County jury on a DWI case. Prior to that, he prevailed with a double acquittal in the Brazos County District Court on two aggravated assaults. Also, Hutton Ask had a blood test suppressed by the Court in a DWI case recently in Brazos County to prevail for our client. We have continued to resolve cases this summer mostly by agreement of the parties but some in contested matters. Please remember that you do have a choice when charged with a criminal offense and we are here ready to represent accused persons across the Brazos Valley.

We are excited to report that Jake Spiegelhauer tried an assault case to a Walker County jury last week. Jake battled some seasoned prosecutors in Huntsville and after hearing much evidence and receiving an instruction on defense to property charge from the trial Judge, the jury unanimously acquitted our client. We are very proud of the work that Jake does here at James, Reynolds, Spiegelhauer & Ask! You have a choice when you are facing criminal charges in Texas and getting an experienced Board Certified attorney like Jake can make a real difference.

We are thrilled to announce another victory for James, Reynolds, Spiegelhauer & Ask! Hutton Ask secured an incredible outcome in a jury trial last week. The prosecution was seeking the maximum penalty of six months in jail for our client, but after much hard work and perseverance, the jury instead decided to only assess a $100 fine! 🎉🙌

We are extremely proud of our entire team for their tireless efforts in advocating for our client's rights and achieving this outstanding result. It's a reminder of why we do what we do, and it's an honor to represent individuals and protect their liberties in the courtroom.

We are elated to celebrate this win and remain committed to fighting for justice in all our cases. "
