Attorney
Sandra Reynolds has been defending persons accused of
crimes since she was a student at Southern Methodist
University School of Law. As a student attorney in the
SMU Criminal Justice Clinic, Sandra spent many hours
in the Dallas County Criminal Courthouse learning first
hand how the system really works. It was this experience
early in her legal education that convinced Sandra to
dedicate her professional career exclusively to the defense
of those who are accused of crimes by local, state or
federal authorities.
Sandra
has handled over 1,000 criminal cases since being admitted
to the State Bar in 1996. All of her experience has come
from where it matters the most - the Defense side of
the table - representing those accused of a crime. In
her more than ten years as a criminal defense attorney,
Sandra has handled a wide range of criminal cases - from
minor infractions and misdemeanors to the most serious
felony indictments, including accusations of DWI, assault,
theft, gambling promotion, drug possession, burglary,
robbery, manslaughter and murder.
Sandra
was born in Denison, Texas in 1963. In her early 20's
she became inspired by a local criminal defense attorney
and decided she wanted to pursue a legal career. She
completed her undergraduate studies at the University
of North Texas in Denton where she graduated magna cum
laude in 1992. Sandra received her Juris Doctor
degree in 1995 from Southern Methodist University School
of Law in Dallas. White at SMU, she was a student attorney
in the SMU Law School Criminal Justice Clinic where she
was able to gain valuable courtroom experience and learn
first hand how the system really works, in addition to
her classroom studies. She was admitted to the Texas
State Bar in 1996 and has been a sole practitioner, defending
persons accused of a crime, ever since. Sandra has defended
cases all across Texas, but focuses her practice primarily
in the Collin and Dallas County area.
