Jeremy Shane Sylestine

I've been practicing criminal law since 2004 after graduating from the University of Virginia School of Law. I started my career as an assistant public defender in the Texas Panhandle, where I learned to try cases of all types. I moved to Austin in 2006 to become a prosecutor at the Travis County District Attorney's Office, where I stayed for 15 years. During that time, I handled child abuse and domestic violence cases, murders, aggravated robberies, DWI, and drug possession cases. If it's a felony offense, I've seen it and worked on it. I left the DA's Office in 2021 to start my own criminal defense practice and joined Cofer & Connelly in summer 2023. I have handled over 100 jury trials and am proud to leverage my experience and expertise for my clients. I live in Austin with my wife, three daughters, and our very good girl, Gracie (English Pointer).
