About Brittany Lannen
Brittany Lannen is a Central Texas criminal defense and family law attorney and the founder of Lannen Law, PLLC. Her practice focuses on representing individuals facing criminal charges, government investigations, and high-conflict family matters where the consequences are significant and long-lasting.
She defends clients in misdemeanor and felony cases, including DWI/DUI, drug offenses, sexual assault allegations, and other serious charges. She also represents parents and children in family law and CPS matters, particularly where criminal proceedings and family court issues intersect. This overlap allows her to evaluate cases not in isolation, but in terms of their broader legal and practical impact on a client’s future.
Before establishing Lannen Law, Brittany served as an Assistant District Attorney. In that role, she prosecuted criminal cases and worked closely with law enforcement in evaluating evidence, preparing witnesses, negotiating resolutions, and trying cases in court. That experience now informs her defense strategy. She understands how cases are built from the inside and uses that knowledge to identify weaknesses, assess leverage, and prepare strategically from the outset.
Her approach to representation is disciplined and direct. Clients receive a candid assessment of their case—both strengths and vulnerabilities—so they can make informed decisions. Legal strategy is built on accurate information, not reassurance. Clarity is kindness, particularly when the stakes involve freedom, parental rights, or long-term reputation.
Brittany earned her undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University and her law degree from Texas Wesleyan University School of Law (now Texas A&M University School of Law).
At Lannen Law, the focus remains consistent: thorough preparation, honest communication, and trial-ready advocacy when necessary. Whether negotiating resolution or proceeding into the courtroom, each case is handled with structured analysis and deliberate strategy grounded in Texas law.
About Carson Walker
Carson Walker is a Central Texas criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor. His practice focuses on representing individuals facing criminal charges, with an emphasis on examining the government’s evidence, identifying overlooked legal issues, and helping clients understand and participate meaningfully in their defense.
His prosecution experience spans misdemeanor and felony cases, including DWI, family violence, aggravated assault, sexual offenses, and murder. That background informs his work in criminal defense, particularly in cases involving disputed evidence, complex legal questions, and allegations carrying significant consequences for a client’s freedom and future.
Before entering criminal defense, Carson served as a misdemeanor prosecutor and later as an Assistant District Attorney in a rural Texas county. In those roles, he reviewed police reports, interviewed witnesses, litigated evidentiary issues, negotiated resolutions, and tried cases before juries. That experience taught him how criminal cases are built—and where they warrant closer scrutiny. He uses that knowledge to evaluate the State’s position, examine assumptions against the available evidence, and identify weaknesses that may affect negotiations or trial.
His approach to representation is methodical and direct. He examines the government’s involvement from the outset, whether that begins with a 9-1-1 call, a traffic stop, or an investigation. Police reports are an important starting point, but the underlying evidence should be independently examined. Clients receive candid explanations of the law, the evidence, and the reasons behind strategic decisions so they can make informed choices throughout their case.
Carson studied criminal justice at Austin Community College and Texas State University, graduating from Texas State in 2016. He earned his law degree from South Texas College of Law in May 2020.
Carson’s focus remains consistent: careful examination of the evidence, honest communication, and advocacy informed by the full circumstances of each client’s life. He believes an accusation does not define a person. Whether negotiating a resolution or preparing for trial, he works to ensure that the government’s case receives meaningful scrutiny and that his client’s perspective remains central to the defense.
