Tamla Ray brings unmatched perspective to criminal defense as a Board Certified Criminal Law Specialist. For over 14 years, she served as a prosecutor in Tarrant County, trying some of the most serious cases—including murders, capital murders, and aggravated offenses. Her reputation for fairness and legal precision led her to the bench, where she spent more than six years as a magistrate judge.
In that role, she handled critical decisions: setting bonds, ruling on motions to suppress evidence, selecting juries, and presiding over probation revocation hearings.
Tamla eventually stepped away from the bench to do what she felt called to do: advocate fiercely for people accused of crimes. Today, as a board certified criminal defense attorney, she uses every skill gained across her career to protect the rights, dignity, and futures of her clients. At Tamla Ray Law PLLC, we fight smart, we fight hard—and we never forget the human being behind every case.
