Wrongfully Accused of a Crime in Houston?
The Law Office of Myron G. Davis was built on the belief that everyone accused of a crime deserves a real defense — especially when the accusation is false, mistaken, or exaggerated. If you've been wrongfully accused, you need an advocate who will investigate independently rather than take the State's version at face value.

When the Accusation Doesn't Match the Truth
False and mistaken accusations happen more often than most people expect. They can arise from mistaken eyewitness identification, a contentious divorce or custody dispute, a misunderstanding blown out of proportion, or someone with a motive to lie. Once a charge is filed, the burden effectively shifts to the accused to fight back — even though the law says the State must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Attorney Myron G. Davis spent years prosecuting cases as a felony prosecutor before dedicating his practice to defense. That experience means knowing exactly how the State builds a case — and where those cases fall apart under scrutiny.
Mistaken Identity
Eyewitness misidentification is one of the leading causes of wrongful charges, particularly in cases involving strangers, poor lighting, or brief encounters.
False Allegations
Accusations made out of anger, in the middle of a custody dispute, or to gain leverage in a personal conflict happen more often than the system likes to admit.
Rushed Investigations
Police under pressure to close a case can overlook exculpatory evidence or fail to pursue other leads.
Circumstantial Evidence
Being present at the wrong place and time, or matching a general description, is not the same as guilt.
Charged with Something You Didn't Do??
If you believe you've been wrongfully accused, the fastest way to protect yourself is to stop talking to investigators and start building your own defense.
- Mistaken eyewitness identification
- False accusations in family disputes
- Alibi and corroborating witness evidence
- Improper photo or lineup procedures
- Coerced or unreliable statements
- Insufficient or fabricated evidence
How We Fight for the Wrongfully Accused
Clearing your name requires more than waiting to see what the State presents. It requires an active, independent investigation built from day one.
- Launching an independent investigation rather than relying solely on the police report
- Locating and interviewing witnesses the State's investigation may have missed
- Establishing and documenting alibi evidence, including phone records, video, and receipts
- Challenging identification procedures for suggestiveness or procedural error
- Retaining experts where physical, digital, or forensic evidence requires independent review
- Presenting exculpatory evidence to prosecutors early, when it can have the greatest impact on the charging decision
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I'm falsely accused of a crime?
Do not discuss the allegation with police, the accuser, or on social media. Contact an attorney immediately so evidence can be preserved and witnesses located before memories fade or evidence disappears.
Can charges be dropped before trial if I'm innocent?
Yes. Prosecutors can decline to file charges, dismiss a filed case, or reduce charges when presented with credible evidence undermining the accusation. Getting that evidence in front of the right person, at the right time, matters.
Is it too late if I've already spoken with police?
It's not too late to fight the charge, but it does make early legal help even more important. Any prior statement will need to be carefully reviewed as part of building your defense.
