When you are being investigated or have been charged with a crime, your life and your liberty hang in the balance. This is not television; this is the real world. If you are being investigated, there is almost no such thing as a "fair and unbiased" investigator. The very fact that you are being investigated or charged means that someone of consequence thinks you are guilty of a crime.
A criminal charge can carry a heavy burden on your personal and professional life. Incarceration is a possibility as well as probation, steep fines and a tainted image, as friends, neighbors and colleagues may shun you. You need an experienced and aggressive criminal defense attorney. James & Hightower Attorneys At Law in Nacogdoches, Texas, is an effective and skilled law firm that focuses on criminal defense.
Your college-attending son or daughter is in trouble for a campus-related incident and faces criminal charges that could jeopardize his or her future. In addition to possible incarceration and fines for drug or alcohol offenses or other crimes, he or she faces the potential of dismissal and expulsion from the university.

Sean Hightower is a different level of lawyer. I was referred to Sean from a friend of mine that works in law enforcement and another lawyer from Tyler recommend him. I also asked a few other people and they all recommend Sean. I know why. I was always able to text or call Sean. I've had prior attorneys that wouldn't return a phone call. I got better results that I thought in court, and would highly recommend him.

Mr Hightower and Mr James helped me out a great bit with helping me keep my career. Not only were them 2 very helpful but the whole staff there in that office was very polite and helpful. I thank them all very much and they will not have to deal with me ever again! I highly recommend this knowledgeable group of people for any help needed!

I hired Mr. James and Sean and they were great. I texted Sean often and he always responded. They kept me up to date with everything and got my case reduced. The investigators and the paralegals were always friendly and did a great job preparing for my case. Sean knew a lot about the lab stuff and that seemed to really help. I couldn't recommend them more. If I every had to do this again I would hire them without a doubt.

I have been working with Sean Hightower for about three years now, and the James & Hightower staff have been exemplary in and out of the courtroom. So much so that I have referred several of friends with legal issues to work with them. I highly suggest swinging by their office if you find yourself with legal troubles and want the best possible outcome!

Mr. Hightower saved my daughter's life. My daughter was looking at prison for a long time, but Mr. Hightower found some issue where the officer did not follow the law. The Judge dismissed her case after some type of suppression hearing. My daughter went to a rehab that Mr. Hightower suggested and has been drug free for 3 years. I can not thank him enough for saving her life.
