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.
