Kiele Linroth Pace

As an experienced criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor, I know how the criminal justice system works and what it takes to get good results.

My goal in every case is to obtain not only a great result but also the best possible outcome for my client under the facts and circumstances of the case. Consequently, my clients have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that they can trust their lawyer to protect their legal rights and handle their cases in a way that ensures the best outcome for them.

I have deep roots in Austin and practice exclusively in Travis County. Every one of my clients is important to me so rather than delegate my cases to an assistant or junior associate, I keep my caseload small so that I can provide personal attention to each client and put a lot of work into every case, whether it's a felony or misdemeanor, state or federal charge.

28 May 2020

A: Was the animal injured? The animal cruelty law is in chapter 42 of the Texas Penal Code and you can read it here: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.42.htm#42.092

Q. my friend got in trouble at home for sneaking out to see a guy and her father is going through her phone taking screens

27 May 2020

A: Be careful about how you share sensitive information in the future. Now you know this particular friend does not have a secure phone so you'll take that into consideration next time you have something to share. It has been a while since I examined SnapChat but, the last I knew, it automatically deleted messages after a short period of time. If SnapChat still behaves in that way then only the most recent messages will be available to your friend's father.

Q. How long do the state have to indict me on felony charges?

27 May 2020

A: The limitations period is discussed in chapter 12 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure which you can access at the following URL: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/SOTWDocs/CR/htm/CR.12.htm
