Types of Crimes
In Texas, crimes are divided into felonies and misdemeanors.
Both can carry serious consequences. They require personal attention and dedication to secure your freedom and protect your fundamental right of liberty.

What To Do Before Hiring An Abilene Criminal Defense Attorney
Before you hire a criminal defense attorney, ask them a variety of questions to ensure they have enough experience in taking cases like yours to trial.
There are many reasons why some criminal defense attorneys may not want to go to trial. They would rather plead out a case than take it to trial.
Board-certified lawyers have a higher level of proficiency in their practice, which makes them more likely to take cases to trial. When considering a criminal defense attorney, it is important to ask them if they have experience in taking a case like yours to trial. It would also be wise to inquire about their successes at trials for cases similar to yours. Lead attorney Jacob Blizzard is a specialist who is dual board certified in both Criminal Defense and Criminal Appellate Law, one of only 87 attorneys out of over 100,000 attorneys in the state with the dual designation.
At Blizzard & Zimmerman Attorneys, our Abilene law firm believes client communication is of the utmost importance. We strive to keep our clients informed. We partner with them in their cases to reach the best outcome possible for their situation. To us, your legal challenge is more than just a case. It is often some of the most serious life-altering situations a person will face in their life.
Proven Success Stories that Speak Volumes
Criminal Trial Attorney Jacob Blizzard’s courtroom stills were on full display during the landmark Taylor County Capital Murder trial of Damian Cate.
Despite overwhelming odds, Abilene attorney Blizzard secured a Not Guilty verdict in a case laden with extreme emotional and legal complexities. Employing strategic defense methods, he illuminated Mr. Cate’s wrongful statements as products of intellectual disability and undue interrogation pressures forces on him by police investigators, successfully disconnecting Mr. Cate from the heinous acts he was charged with.
Another 2024 case involved a young man charged with the murder of a co-worker at a local construction site. The man was accused of having shot the co-worker in the back of the head randomly without reason while at work. Due to our vigrous investigation into the case, a jury found Jacob’s client not guilty of murder, and the trial result was the lesser included offense of Manslaughter.
This profound legal victory not only demonstrated Blizzard’s tenacious advocacy but also underpinned the firm’s reputation for achieving justice against the gravest charges.
