About Mr. Paul C. Looney

Paul Looney is a Texas criminal defense attorney with more than 30 years of trial experience and a documented record of success in 60 criminal jury trials with zero final convictions (1995–2024).

He is considered one of the most experienced criminal trial attorneys in Texas and has handled thousands of criminal cases, including misdemeanors, felonies, and capital offenses.

Over the course of his career, Paul has tried hundreds of jury trials and developed deep insight into how criminal cases are developed, negotiated, and tried. His extensive courtroom experience gives him a strategic advantage in both litigation and plea negotiations.

His practice focuses on criminal defense litigation, with an emphasis on trial strategy, courtroom advocacy, and case resolution through dismissal, reduction, or acquittal where possible.

Paul is known for his disciplined trial approach and belief that effective advocacy is rooted in preparation, strategy, and persuasive courtroom execution—not theatrics or intimidation.

He is widely respected in Texas courts by judges, prosecutors, and fellow defense attorneys for his experience and results.
