Mr. J. Warren St. John

My family has proudly practiced law in Texas since 1896. My great-grandfather, James C. Wilson, was a United States District Judge in the Northern District of Texas for 32 years. My grandfather and uncles were also attorneys. My brother practices law in Houston.

With an undergraduate degree in criminal justice, I have a different perspective regarding police investigations and their ability to get the “facts” right. I know where to find faults in their investigations, which ultimately aids me in the representation of my clients.

With over 30+ years of experience in criminal defense, I know how to get the best result for my client.

My practice is limited to criminal defense in both state and federal court. I am committed to zealous representation of my clients in all cases. I have tried many complex cases in both United States District Court and State court. My work ethic for my clients is second to none. As the past president of the Tarrant County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association (TCCDLA), I am deeply involved in bar activities locally and statewide.

My practice is statewide, and I have tried many cases outside of Tarrant County. I have an excellent working relationship with the judiciary across the State. If you need a tough, well-respected attorney who meets personally with each client and works zealously within the bounds of the law to defend each client, call my office for a free initial consultation.
