Our Fort Worth criminal attorney uses the five following challenges to eyewitness identification. While an eyewitness identification used to be considered highly reliable, that thinking has changed. Here are the reasons:
- Witness duress and stress. A witness is likely seeing violence and/or lots of motion and might not be able to concentrate.
- Presence of a weapon. Studies have shown that the witness will focus on weapon to the exclusion of everything else, including the perpetrator.
- Racism. A witness might tend to choose a suspect of a different race or associate certain crimes with other races.
- Law enforcement. Witnesses might be pressured or coerced by law enforcement to step forward.
- Media involvement. A witness might try to play a hero role.

Highly recommend! Colin thank you so much for your dedication. Thank you for actually wanting to sincerely help and give us the best outcome we can get. You are by far one of the best. You helped my bf reschedule a court date after it was missed and was able to give him the same plea deal. Thank you again Colin.

I would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone!!

I would highly recommend Hoeller McLaughlin. They helped my husband on a probation violation case and did an excellent job. Dustin Trammel was our attorney and he communicated with us and was supportive and helpful throughout the process. Very good legal service and would recommend this firm.

I can not say enough about how grateful I am that Dustin Trammel was my attorney! Having no experience with court proceedings, Dustin explained everything and stayed in touch with me the entire time. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney! Very highly recommend!!
