Tarlicia Armstead Esq. - Frisco, TX

Tarlicia Armstead is a graduate of the University of North Texas, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Behavior Analysis, graduating cum laude. She went on to attend South Texas College of Law Houston, where she earned her Juris Doctor in 2014 and became licensed to practice law in Texas in 2015.

Before entering private practice, Ms. Armstead built a strong foundation within the criminal justice system. She began her career as a juvenile intake officer and later served as an adult probation officer in Dallas County, working directly with the courts. In those roles she helped individuals stay on track, complete supervision, and move forward with their lives outside of the system.

Her decision to pursue a career in law was driven by a desire to help people — not just to talk about solutions, but to be part of them. That same commitment defines her approach today. As a criminal defense attorney, Ms. Armstead is a dedicated advocate who works diligently on behalf of her clients and operates from the premise that everyone deserves a fair process and an informed defense.

Understanding that no two cases are alike, she approaches every client and every case with individualized attention. Her role extends beyond pure legal representation — she works to ensure that prosecutors and courts see her clients as whole people, not just the allegations against them.

Ms. Armstead is known for her integrity, transparency, and client-centered approach. She is committed to guiding her clients through every stage of the legal process, providing candid advice and clear communication so they can make informed decisions about their cases.

Her practice primarily focuses on Collin County and the surrounding areas, and she is also admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. She handles both adult and juvenile criminal matters.
