About Keith Gore

Why I Practice This Way

For more than 27 years, I’ve represented people facing serious criminal allegations — often at the most difficult moments of their lives. Over time, I’ve seen how quickly a criminal charge can spiral beyond the courtroom and into every part of a person’s life.

When allegations involve family members, intimate partners, or children, the consequences are rarely limited to jail or probation. They can affect custody, housing, employment, and long-term relationships.

My practice is focused on criminal defense, with particular experience in cases where accusations carry serious personal and family consequences. I built this practice to provide firm, strategic defense while helping clients navigate the real-world impact of criminal charges — not just the legal theory.

Who I Serve & How I Help

I represent individuals facing serious criminal charges — whether those charges stand alone or later trigger protective orders, custody disputes, divorce, or related proceedings.

This includes matters involving:

  • Assault and family-violence allegations
  • Sex crime allegations involving children or adults
  • Protective orders and related hearings
  • Criminal and CPS investigations involving children or household members
  • Criminal cases that affect custody, visitation, or divorce proceedings

In every case, my role is to guide clients from the first call through resolution — from arrest or filing, through hearings and negotiations, to a clear and informed outcome.

I provide:

  • Compassionate, steady advocacy for people in high-stress situations
  • Clear, practical advice in plain English
  • Hands-on, personal representation — you are never “just another case”

Many clients come to me in crisis. I treat their situations with urgency, discretion, and respect.

Local Experience & Court Focus

I practice primarily in Collin County and Dallas County, including McKinney, Plano, Frisco, Allen, Richardson, and Dallas. I regularly appear in local courts and understand how criminal cases — especially those involving family dynamics — are handled here.

That local experience matters. I don’t apply a generic template. I build defense strategies that reflect how cases actually move through North Texas courts.

Strategic. Human. Results-Focused.

In every matter, my approach is the same: protect your rights, anticipate consequences, and preserve what matters most.

I focus on the full picture — not just the charge on paper, but how decisions made today may affect your future tomorrow. Where others treat criminal and personal consequences as separate, I account for both.

If you are facing criminal allegations — whether or not family or custody issues are already involved — you deserve experienced, thoughtful defense.
