Our firm is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves honest advice and strong legal representation, no matter what they are facing. We handle not only criminal defense matters but also cases involving personal injury, employment issues, and family law concerns. With decades of experience, Mike Warner is devoted to giving every client the care and personal attention they deserve. Our approach is straightforward: careful preparation, direct communication, and a focus on pursuing the best possible result for you.

Criminal Defense Experience You Can Count On


Mike Warner takes pride in personally overseeing each case, ensuring that all clients receive thoughtful analysis and practical advice tailored to their unique situation. Our criminal defense team works collaboratively to build strong defenses and protect your rights throughout the legal process. We handle cases both in Amarillo and in neighboring Panhandle communities—places like Pampa, Shamrock, Hereford, Plainview, and Lubbock. No matter where you are, you have an advocate in your corner ready to stand up for you, backed by the experience of a dedicated Texas criminal attorney.


Our law firm represents clients in a wide variety of criminal matters, including:

  • Misdemeanors

    Even less serious offenses like petty theft, trespassing, and traffic violations can impact your life. Our criminal defense lawyers are here to protect your interests and guide you through the process. We defend clients against misdemeanor charges and pursue favorable outcomes such as deferred adjudication or deferred adjudication probation when appropriate.

  • Felonies

     For more severe criminal charges—such as assault, burglary, or other violent crimes—our attorneys aggressively defend your rights and pursue every option available. Being charged with a felony criminal offense can result in prison time and severe penalties, making experienced legal representation essential.

  • Criminal Appeals

    If you believe there were errors in your original trial, we can guide you through the appellate process and fight for fair treatment in higher courts.

  • DUI/DWI

    If you are facing charges related to driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, our attorneys know how to navigate the complex legal system. A DWI conviction can have long-term consequences, including a permanent mark on your record and the risk of a suspended license. DWI cases may involve illegal substances or even prescription medications, which can lead to criminal charges if they cause impairment. We work to reduce penalties—such as fines, license suspensions, or potential jail time—or get charges dismissed when possible.

  • Domestic Violence

    Facing accusations of family violence or related restraining orders? Our attorneys help you understand the legal landscape and present a strong defense. We handle cases involving a family member, and prosecutions can proceed even if the alleged victim does not wish to press charges.

  • Drug Crimes

    Whether the allegation involves possession, distribution, or manufacturing of controlled substances, our legal team brings proven experience at both the state and federal level. We handle a wide range of drug charges, including marijuana charges, simple possession, and cases involving THC oils.

  • Juvenile Crimes

    Young people deserve a second chance. Our team works to protect minors’ rights and focuses on rehabilitation whenever possible.

  • Sex Crimes

    These sensitive cases require careful handling. We offer discreet, thoughtful support and a robust defense for individuals facing sexual offense charges. If found guilty, clients may be required to register as sex offenders, which can have lifelong consequences.

  • Violent Crimes

    If you have been accused of assault, robbery, or another serious offense, our lawyers get to work immediately, building a strong defense with you. The district attorney plays a key role in prosecuting these cases, and we are prepared to challenge the evidence at every stage.

  • White Collar Crimes

    We offer strategic counsel for cases involving fraud, embezzlement, tax evasion, and other financial crimes.

Our Commitment to Every Client


We understand that no two cases are the same. Mike Warner makes it a priority to build a relationship with each client, offering timely updates and open, honest advice. With the Warner Law Firm, you can expect:


  • Dedicated advocacy focused on achieving the best possible outcome.


  • Direct, consistent communication as your case progresses.


  • Respectful support tailored to your individual circumstances.


Your rights are protected at every stage of the legal process.


Knowing Your Rights


If the police want to speak with you about a crime, do not hesitate to assert your right to remain silent and ask for a lawyer. Getting legal assistance early on can have a significant impact on your case and can help you avoid common mistakes.
