Saputo Toufexis is a boutique criminal defense law firm based in Dallas, Texas, specializing exclusively in high-stakes criminal litigation. Known for their relentless advocacy and innovative legal strategies, founding partner Paul Saputo and managing partner Nicholas Toufexis have dedicated their entire careers to defending individuals against government prosecutions, earning a reputation for tenacity, courage, and legal ingenuity.
The firm takes a proactive, evidence-driven approach, challenging unconstitutional searches, coerced confessions, and flawed prosecutions from the earliest stages of investigation through trial and appeal. With over a decade of experience, they have successfully defended clients in more than 50 Texas counties and multiple federal districts, securing dismissals, acquittals, and reduced sentences in complex cases ranging from sexual assault and murder to federal white-collar crimes. Their practice is distinguished by a pure defense focus—neither attorney has ever worked as a prosecutor—and is supported by industry-leading legal publications, including annual updates to the Texas Penal Code.
