College Station Criminal Defense Attorney
Former College Station Police Lieutenant Now Defending the Accused
A criminal charge in College Station can mean incarceration, fines, sex offender registration, driver’s license suspension, victim restitution orders, and consequences that follow you long after the case closes. The decisions made in the early stages of your case matter enormously, and who you hire to make them with you matters just as much.
The Andreski Law Firm is a criminal defense firm serving College Station. Attorney Donnie Andreski spent more than 20 years with the College Station Police Department, starting as a patrol officer and advancing to detective, sergeant, and ultimately lieutenant overseeing the Criminal Investigations Division. In that role, he supervised investigations involving assaults, drug offenses, sexual assaults, burglaries, thefts, child pornography, robberies, and homicides. Before opening his own firm, he spent 8 years practicing criminal defense at an established Bryan/College Station firm, handling cases ranging from minor in possession to murder and trying numerous cases before a jury. That combination means he has personally conducted the kinds of investigations now being used against his clients, and he knows where to look for the errors that can affect a case.
Attorney Andreski is available around the clock. He gives clients his cell phone number directly so they can reach him by call or text at any point in their case. Free initial consultations are available.

How a College Station Criminal Defense Attorney Can Help You
Cases processed through Brazos County courts move through a system with its own rules, timelines, and procedures. The Brazos County District Attorney’s Office decides what charges to file and whether to offer a plea. Judges at the Brazos County Courthouse manage pretrial motions, hearings, and trial settings. Many people facing charges here have never navigated this process before, and a misstep at any stage can carry lasting consequences.
Attorney Andreski can assess your case to identify applicable defenses, determine whether your rights were violated during the investigation, and pursue remedies such as suppression of evidence. Because he oversaw the Criminal Investigations Division at the College Station Police Department, he understands how officers document stops, gather evidence, and build cases for prosecutors. That background lets him spot procedural and investigative errors that a defense attorney without law enforcement experience might miss.
If your case involves a DWI arrest, timing matters immediately. Under Texas Transportation Code Section 524.031, a driver who receives a notice of license suspension has 15 days to request an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing. Missing that deadline typically means losing the right to contest the suspension. Attorney Andreski can help you navigate that process alongside the criminal case.
Throughout your case, you can reach Attorney Andreski directly by call or text on his cell phone. You won’t be routed through a call center or left waiting for a callback when you have a question.
