Protecting your rights. Defending you future.
Criminal Defense Attorneys Serving Guadalupe, Comal, and Hays Counties
At Traeger, Ricks & Little, PLLC, we understand that facing criminal charges can be one of the most overwhelming and uncertain times in your life. The justice system is complex—and too often, individuals are treated as guilty before they’ve even had their day in court. That's why your choice of legal representation matters.
Attorneys Steven M. Traeger and Courtney Stump bring a rare and invaluable perspective to criminal defense: both have served as prosecutors and now fight vigorously on behalf of the accused. That dual experience gives them a strategic edge—knowing how the prosecution builds its case means they know exactly how to break it down.
Whether you're facing misdemeanor or felony charges, from DWI and drug offenses to assault, theft, or more serious allegations, you deserve to be treated fairly, heard clearly, and defended fiercely. At Traeger, Ricks & Little, we believe in the presumption of innocence and the constitutional rights that protect every person accused of a crime.

A criminal charge is not just a legal issue—it’s a life issue. Your freedom, your reputation, your job, and your family may all be at stake. Without experienced legal defense, even a minor charge can result in lasting consequences. Our team is here to make sure that doesn’t happen.
