When criminal charges threaten your freedom, your reputation, or your family, you need more than a defense lawyer. You need an attorney who understands how high the stakes truly are.
I’m Keith Gore, a Texas criminal defense attorney representing clients throughout Collin County and Dallas County, including McKinney, Plano, Frisco, Allen, Richardson and Dallas. Since 1999, I’ve defended individuals facing serious misdemeanor and felony charges, from complex investigations to high-exposure prosecutions.
My practice is primarily focused on serious criminal defense, with particular experience in cases where allegations involve family members, intimate partners, or children. These are the cases where criminal court and family court often collide, and where early mistakes can have lasting consequences.
I’ve worked on all sides of the system, as a prosecutor, a defense attorney, and a former municipal-court judge. I understand how cases are evaluated, charged, and decided, and how criminal allegations can quickly escalate beyond the courtroom.
I regularly practice in courts throughout Collin County and Dallas County, including McKinney, Plano, Frisco, Allen, Richardson and Dallas. I know local procedures, prosecutors, and judicial expectations — and how criminal cases are actually handled in North Texas.
While I defend a broad range of serious criminal charges, many of my cases involve allegations that carry both legal and personal consequences, including:
In these matters, criminal court and family court often intersect. A criminal accusation can quickly create consequences that affect parental rights, family relationships, as well as your personal and professional reputation. I guide clients through the criminal and family court process – when everything is at stake.
Even when family court is not involved, I represent individuals who need steady, strategic, and experienced criminal defense in North Texas.
These cases are deeply personal and often overwhelming. I handle every matter with discretion, urgency, and respect. You are not passed off to associates or treated like a file number. If the case requires, I assemble a team of investigators, mitigation specialists, and co-counsel to ensure your rights are protected and to maximize the odds of a favorable outcome.
