Attorney Profile
Trey Loftin
Criminal Defense · Divorce & Family Law · Civil Trial Law
A Quarter Century of Courtroom Excellence
Trey Loftin has served with distinction in criminal law for over a quarter of a century. He began working in criminal matters as a law student in Federal Court and The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, then served as a felony prosecutor in Tarrant County, as a District Court judge in Parker County, and as a criminal defense attorney and general civil trial lawyer. Trey was also appointed as a Special Prosecutor.
Trey is a 1997 graduate of the University of Tulsa College of Law, where he was the John Rogers Scholar and served as Business Editor of the Tulsa International Law Review. Before law school, he graduated from Baylor University and visited Cambridge University as a student at Selwyn College's International School. He also served as a Visiting Student at the University of Texas while working for the Court of Criminal Appeals.
Trey comes from a family of attorneys — including his father Jerry Loftin (now of counsel), his brother Trent (now a criminal judge in CCC10), his sister (practicing in Colorado), and his brother Justin Sisemore (with his own practice).
Because he understands that knowledge and skill are the keys to success in the courtroom, Trey has won over 100 jury trials and successfully defended all types of crimes — including obtaining Not Guilty verdicts in Murder, Aggravated Robbery, Aggravated Sexual Assault, Possession, Assault Family Member, and DWI. He has been Board-Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 2003 — a designation he has held for over 20 years.
A Longstanding Record of Success
As a prosecutor under former Tarrant County District Attorney Tim Curry from 2000 to 2004, Trey successfully obtained convictions on a wide range of criminal charges — from marijuana to murder. As a prosecutor, he never lost a felony trial as first chair.
As a criminal defense lawyer, Trey has won acquittals in jury trials for clients charged with a broad range of misdemeanors and felonies — from DWI/DUI to aggravated sexual assault, aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, family assault and violence, homicide including murder, and gun, drug, and possession matters.
In 2011, Trey was nominated by Texas Governor Rick Perry and unanimously confirmed by the Texas Senate to fill a vacancy as a district court judge in the 43rd Judicial District in Parker County. While on the bench, Trey presided over 24 jury trials — the most of any Parker County judge during those two years. He also handled hundreds of criminal and family law bench trials, as well as countless motion hearings. Among the cases he adjudicated were a nationally followed high-profile kidnapping and sexual assault prosecution, and a multi-million-dollar environmental dispute related to fracking at the Barnett Shale that affected oil and gas exploration across the United States.
