Richard Martin P. Canlas
Attorney at Law

Richard Martin P. Canlas has been serving clients throughout The Woodlands, Conroe, and Montgomery County, TX for over 26 years. His dedication to his clients and exceptional depth of legal knowledge make him one of the most respected criminal defense attorneys in the region.

Attorney Canlas holds board certification in criminal law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization — a credential requiring demonstrated expertise, peer reviews, and a rigorous examination. Fewer than 1% of Texas attorneys hold this distinction.

He also holds a FINRA Series 7 securities license, a rare combination that gives him unmatched insight into white-collar and financial crime cases.

When you hire Attorney Canlas, you work directly with him — not a junior associate or paralegal. He personally answers his phone, reviews your evidence, and appears in court on your behalf from start to finish.
