Brian Bolton
In late 2004, Mr. Bolton left the Dallas County District Attorney's Office to begin a private criminal defense practice that focused on DWI and other intoxication-related offenses. Mr. Bolton was with the Dallas district attorney's for several years and while with the misdemeanor division was involved in thousands of cases there. Since that time, he has gained the reputation by his colleagues as one of the premier up-and-coming criminal defense lawyers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and has been acknowledged by his clients, prosecutors, police officers, fellow defense lawyers, and by the judges themselves, as a tenacious, unrelenting trial lawyer with the uncanny ability to win even the most difficult cases, with a winning record to show.
Because of Mr. Bolton's ability to conduct a winning DWI jury selection, and because of his ability to vigorously cross-examine the arresting officer, several prominent DWI lawyers have called upon Mr. Bolton to assist them with their own jury trials. Mr. Bolton will provide the best possible DWI legal defense.

Mr. Gruetzner is the newest member of the Law Offices of Richard C. McConathy. His practice is exclusively confined to Criminal Defense and Civil Matters in the strongly litigated Collin County Courts.

His areas of practice included both felony and misdemeanor defense in Criminal Law and all matters before the civil courts. Mr. Gruetzner has received his law degree in 2002 from Texas Wesleyan School of Law in Fort Worth. He also attended and graduated from Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.
