The Law Office of David D. White, PLLC defends criminal charges in Williamson County from its Georgetown office at 706 Rock St — a short walk from the Williamson County Justice Center, where nearly every criminal case in the county is heard. The firm has practiced criminal defense exclusively since 2004, has obtained more than 1,000 dismissals since 2020, and keeps an attorney in Georgetown daily. Most Austin firms drive up I-35 for their Williamson County court dates — this one is already there.
Taylor Kacir, formerly Senior Misdemeanor County Attorney at the Bell County Attorney’s Office, works from the Georgetown office every day. As a former Bell County prosecutor, she prosecuted the same docket that fills Williamson County’s courtrooms — DWI, assault, family violence, drug possession, and theft — and now uses that inside knowledge of how the State builds and evaluates its files to defend against it. Her recent results include a Williamson County DWI dismissed after an ALR hearing win and a granted motion to suppress, along with verified outcomes in Bell, Lee, and Burnet counties. Every case is fact-specific.
The firm’s three attorneys work every Williamson County case together. Files are reviewed in a weekly case meeting and tracked in shared Clio notes from intake forward, and by the first consultation the firm has obtained the Probable Cause Affidavit, read it, and identified the state’s evidentiary weak points.
DWI. The firm maintains a dedicated Williamson County DWI lawyer page covering the county’s DWI process in detail, and a Georgetown DWI lawyer page for cases arising in the county seat.
Assault and family violence. From Class C assault by contact through felony assault charges, including cases where an emergency protective order is in place.
Drug offenses. Possession and delivery charges at every penalty-group level — see the firm’s drug crimes defense overview.
Theft and property crimes. From Class C theft through felony theft and criminal mischief.
Felonies. Trial-level defense in the district courts at the Justice Center.
Expunctions and nondisclosures. Kenneth Hines leads the firm’s expunction practice and has secured hundreds of expunctions since 2023.
Results depend on the specific facts of each case. Past outcomes do not guarantee or predict the result of any future matter. Selected examples:
A Williamson County DWI dismissed after the firm won the ALR license hearing and the court granted a motion to suppress.
A Williamson County DWI reduced to a non-DWI offense — obstruction of a highway — resolving with a six-month deferred adjudication, no fine, and no added conditions.
Williamson County charges of unlawful restraint and Class C assault by contact (family violence), both dismissed.
Every case is fact-specific.
Nearly all Williamson County criminal cases are heard at the Williamson County Justice Center, 405 Martin Luther King St in Georgetown. Felony cases are assigned to the district courts sitting there — including the 368th District Court, which operates the county’s felony DWI/drug court program — while Class A and Class B misdemeanors are heard in the County Courts at Law. Members of the public enter at the corner of 4th Street and Martin Luther King St and pass through security screening; free public parking is available in the surface lot and garage on 4th Street.
Williamson County misdemeanor cases follow a docket structure most defendants have never heard of. Until the State has produced all discovery to the defense through the county’s defense-attorney discovery portal, the case sits on a discovery docket and resets automatically — neither the defendant nor the attorney has to appear. The reasoning is straightforward: good-faith negotiations or pleas can’t happen until the defense has seen all the evidence. Once discovery is complete, the case moves to an announcement docket, where both the defendant and the attorney appear in person, and judges typically allow around three announcement settings before pressing the case toward a plea agreement or a trial setting.
City-ordinance violations and Class C matters filed in Georgetown are handled separately at the Georgetown Municipal Court. The firm’s Georgetown office is minutes from all of it.
A large share of Williamson County criminal cases begin with a traffic stop on the I-35 or Highway 79 corridor — many involving drivers who live in another county entirely. These cases often turn on whether the stop and search were lawful. The firm has obtained dismissals of Williamson County corridor cases through motions to suppress, including the DWI dismissal described above. Every case is fact-specific. If you live elsewhere and were charged here, the firm’s Georgetown office handles the local logistics so you don’t have to reorganize your life around a courthouse two counties away.
The firm defends clients across the county — Georgetown, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Hutto, Taylor, and the surrounding communities. Dedicated pages cover Georgetown criminal defense and Round Rock criminal defense. The Georgetown office also anchors the firm’s work in neighboring Bell County and Burnet County.
The firm charges flat fees quoted before representation begins — DWI defense starts at $5,000 and Class A/B misdemeanor defense starts at $5,000. Full fee information is published on the firm’s criminal defense fees page.
Almost certainly at the Williamson County Justice Center, 405 Martin Luther King St in Georgetown. Felonies are assigned to the district courts; Class A and B misdemeanors go to the County Courts at Law. Class C tickets are heard in justice of the peace or municipal courts.
Yes. The firm’s Georgetown office at 706 Rock St is staffed daily and sits a short walk from the Justice Center. It is one of two offices, along with the firm’s Austin location.
Many can — the firm has obtained more than 1,000 dismissals since 2020, including Williamson County cases resolved through suppression motions and pre-trial negotiation. Whether yours can be depends entirely on the facts and the evidence; the analysis starts with the Probable Cause Affidavit, which the firm obtains and reads before your first consultation.
Not at first. Williamson County misdemeanor cases begin on a discovery docket that resets automatically until the State produces all evidence through the defense discovery portal — no appearance required from you or your attorney during that phase. Once discovery is complete, the case moves to the announcement docket, and those settings do require you to appear in person alongside your attorney; judges typically allow around three before expecting a plea or a trial setting. The firm uses the no-appearance phase to work the case and consolidates your required trips to Georgetown.
Say nothing about the case to anyone but a lawyer, write down everything you remember about the stop or arrest while it’s fresh, and get counsel moving early — bond conditions, the ALR deadline in DWI cases, and protective orders all have short clocks.

I was facing a nightmare situation — a felony warrant for something I didn't do. I spoke with three other lawyers before choosing David White. They all wanted to charge more and immediately pushed to schedule a walk-through arrest, saying they'd handle it after I got booked. David was completely different. He didn't make any assumptions about me or the charge. He truly listened to my side, reviewed all the evidence I gave him, and made sure the pro...
Unfortunately I have needed a few attorneys. Fortunately I was lucky enough to find Mr. White. He has helped me tremendously in my journey through the legal system. Believe me when I tell you that it is Money very well spent. It was easy to communicate with and get a hold of him and he was able to accomplish everything he told me was possible. If I ever know anyone who needs an attorney I will for sure recommend him!! Kelly M.
Absolute best law practice I’ve ever needed and used. Easy communication. From informative paralegals (Christi) to the attorneys David & Kenneth who helped me in getting my case dismissed. Want to say thank you very much for never putting me or my case on the back burner! Breah Richardson
David & Kenneth are heaven sent, the best team in Austin Texas, they had two felonies and one misdemeanor dismissed for me, I was looking at 2-20years and they were ready to take it to trial if need be, the charges didn’t even get indicted, their paralegal is amazing to, such a kind lady. I will ALWAYS recommend them to anybody needing a lawyer, thank y’all so much again i can’t express enough gratitude!!! Ashley Norris
The Law Office of David White helped me through the most insane experience of my life. A former business partner pressed criminal charges against me for Trade Secret Theft and Unauthorized Computer access, and it resulted in me getting indicted under some extremely serious charges. The accusations were completed fabricated and false and the evidence presented was misleading and dishonest, not to mention very complex as it had to do with technical com...
He is the best of the best of the best! A tenacious, optimistic, compassionate man of his word. Which is nearly impossible to find in the legal community. David White achieved what other lawyers had told me could never be done. And he did so within days of retaining him. Anyone needing excellent legal expertise with a humane and compassionate touch, David White is your guy! You will not be sorry. Joan T.
David and his office were extremely helpful with a tough decision. There level of expertise was first class. They also were super responsive and followed up twice just to see how things were going. Hard to find honest lawyers nowadays. I definitely recommend this firm. Clint Frerich
If you looking for a great lawyer that has your best interest in heart and that will fight for you and with you, look no further! I had never needed a lawyer in my life, life took a turn, I got to searching for a lawyer, I had spoken to a handful of lawyers that wanted to work my case but after speaking with Mr. White, I knew he was the one I wanted to stick with, not only did he handle everything for me, he got me a dismissal!!!!!!!! Thanks again Mr...
Use White and save Green David White, Attorney at Law has been by far the most respectable, diligent, and driven attorney one could possibly hope for! I was referred to him by a family member as well as friend. I couldn’t have made a better decision in an attorney to represent me in Travis County. I made a mistake that could have made the rest of my life more difficult. He met with me and was extremely honest with with me about my case and the p...
Quick and stress free process Not only did David get my Class A dismissed quickly (2 months from arrest date to dismissal date) but he did for substantially less then all of the other lawyers I had contacted before him. I highly recommend David ‘s services to anyone in need.
Mr. White has your back I was referred to David White by UT Legal Services (I was a previous student) and I am very happy they did! He is very thorough, friendly, easy to reach, and most importantly: works quickly. He successfully completed my expunction process for a class C misdemeanor. I no longer live in Austin and he handled my case entirely over the phone with no problems. During my consultation he patiently answered all my questions. After ...
Over exceeded my expectations!! Mr. White is an amazing lawyer. He helped me through one of the scariest periods of my life, going through the legal system. I didn’t want to do it alone, but I wanted someone I knew I could talk to and would get results. Well, Mr. White succeeded! I got a dismissal and I have a date set to see if I can file for early expunction. It’s the best case scenario I could have asked for!
