Houston Lab Tech Accused of Making Multiple Forensic Erorrs

A lab technician associated with the Houston Forensic Science Center (HFSC) has admitted to mislabeling a DWI blood sample in 2013. The incident wasn’t reported to the court according to defense attorneys who would have used the information for their case. This isn’t the first time HFSC has been under the radar for improper procedures. The crime lab was already handling scrutiny from reports of a lab supervisor who repeatedly gave false testimony about her qualifications. These issues could force the District Attorney’s Office to reexamine DWI cases over the last ten years. Criminal defense attorney and partner at Tyler Flood & Associates, Inc., Tyler Flood, stated that “It’s shocking, but it keeps happening. It’s a continuation of a very disturbing pattern at the DA’s office of not disclosing very important information that defense attorneys need to know in order to defend their clients." The forensic mistake was found out by Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman as he was conducting an independent audit following the destruction of thousands of pieces of evidence. The Precinct had their property room recently be the subject of scrutiny after a deputy disposed of evidence dating back to 2007 in which only two pieces of evidence could not be found.

The quality and profesionalism of Tyler and his team at Tyler Flood and Associates cannot be oversold. Throughout the entire process, from discovery to the courtroom. my case was handled with care, diligence, and respect. In court, Tyler is second to none in legal theory. A first-class tactician, Tyler expertly identified weaknesses in the state's case, and led to the case being referred for dismissal. If you are looking for a DWI defense attorney in Texas, you'd be selling yourself short by hiring anyone else. My deepest thanks to Tyler Flood and Associates!

Words can’t express how amazing Tyler is! He is an absolutely genius and he %100 passionately protected me from day one once we first discussed my case and I hired him. We went to trial because the DA didn’t want to dismiss my case. We went to jury trial. Tyler slam dunked my case methodology in jury trial. The jury trial verdict took about 10 minutes. They gave me a not guilty verdict which I deserved. I am so grateful to have Tyler by my side protecting me in court and it was absolutely amazing seeing a genius attorney actually protecting a citizen’s rights in person. I highly recommend Tyler if you ever need a high caliber attorney to protect you!

First off I would like to say thank you to Mr.Flood an his staff you guys are truly amazing . I had been contesting my case since Aug of 2019 not one case but two case’s about a week apart from each other. I operate a small business an I have a commercial drivers license as well. So you could only imagine the stress level of my whole ordeal. Tyler was referred to me by another lawyer who at the time I was attempting to hire..go figure that .He spoke very highly of Mr. Flood and told me how well skilled he was in the courtroom. When I hired Tyler he was honest an straight forward with me he told me there’s “nothing quick about these sort of things” lol he was right but ultimately I was satisfy with his services both of my cases were dismiss before trail.

I just finished a successful defense against DUI. Mr. Flood and his team had all the State's evidence suppressed in my case. His preparation and court performance are unmatched and worthy of his reputation. Hiring Mr. Flood has been one the best legal decisions I have made. If you are facing a DUI charge, get the best defense out there and hire Tyler Flood and Associates.

Tyler Flood is the best around, he knows what he’s doing. I was in a compromising situation and Mr. Flood worked his magic. I mean MAGIC! He did not leave any stone unturned. He got me a “NOT GUILTY” verdict and saved my license/livelihood. HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU! He’s worth every penny! Do not hesitate to hire Tyler Flood, you won’t regret it!

By far one of the most trustworthy and upfront attorneys I have had opportunity to work with, I even had another attorney hired for my case. I was not happy with the direction the previous attorney was going, I let that attorney go and hired Tyler Flood & Associates. My case was dismissed as he said it would be, thank you so much for your hard work!!!!

Tyler Flood and his team are the best in Houston. Professional, transparent, knowledgeable, empathetic, and experienced. At no point did I feel that they didn’t have my back. They explained the process to me thoroughly during the initial consultation, followed up every month, and had my case dismissed in 13 months. His assistant Andrea is the best and probably better than most lawyers in town. If you ever find yourself in a tough/unfortunate legal situation, specifically DWI charges, call Tyler Flood! This is too important a decision in your life; choose wisely. CALL TYLER FLOOD!!!
