Shannon Flanigan's career of over 27 years is criminal law. For over 10 years, he served as a felony prosecutor in five counties in southwest Texas then as a felony prosecutor in the Brazos County District Attorney's Office. 100% of his time in private practice is spent defending against criminal accusations.
​
During that time, he has tried all kinds of cases - from accusations against juveniles and traffic tickets to robbery and murder. He has even tried several capital murder cases. He is able to utilize this experience in felony prosecutor's offices to his clients' advantage. And, because of his long time in the Brazos Valley, he knows the prosecutors, judges, and courtrooms his clients face.
