Our seasoned attorneys have a successful track record in handling various criminal defense cases, including but not limited to:

• Assault: Assault refers to the act of intentionally causing fear of bodily harm or actual bodily harm to another person. It doesn't always involve physical contact but includes the threat of harm that creates a reasonable fear in the victim. Assault can be classified as either simple or aggravated, depending on the severity of the threat or harm caused.
• Battery: Battery is different from assault but often goes hand in hand with it. It involves the intentional physical contact with another person that results in bodily harm or offensive touching without the person's consent. While assault is about the threat, battery is about the actual physical act.
• Drug Charges: Drug charges encompass various crimes related to illegal drugs, such as possession, distribution, trafficking, manufacturing, or cultivation of controlled substances. The severity of drug charges depends on the type and quantity of drugs involved.
• DWI/DUI: DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) or DUI (Driving Under the Influence) refers to operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, impairing the driver's ability to safely operate the vehicle.
• Juvenile Offenses: Juvenile offenses are crimes committed by individuals who are not yet considered adults, typically under the age of 18. The legal system treats juvenile offenders differently from adult offenders, with a focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
• Probation Violation: When a person is convicted of a crime but given probation instead of serving jail time, they are required to comply with certain conditions set by the court. A probation violation occurs when the person fails to meet these conditions, such as missing appointments with a probation officer or committing new crimes during the probation period.
• Traffic Offenses: Traffic offenses cover a wide range of violations related to road and driving rules, such as speeding, running red lights, reckless driving, driving without a valid license, or not wearing a seatbelt.
• Theft Crimes: Theft crimes involve the unlawful taking or appropriation of someone else's property without their consent and with the intent to permanently deprive them of it. Theft can be classified into various degrees, depending on the value of the stolen property and the use of force during the act.
