Criminal Defense Lawyers
Protecting your rights against criminal charges
Criminal defense attorneys represent people accused of crimes, from misdemeanors like petty theft to serious felonies. They challenge evidence, negotiate plea deals, and defend you at trial — because everyone deserves a fair defense.
When to hire a criminal defense attorney
- You have been arrested or charged with a crime
- Police want to question you
- You received a DUI/DWI citation
- You need to clear or expunge a record
Frequently asked questions
Should I talk to police without a lawyer?
No. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Use both.
What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?
Misdemeanors carry up to a year in jail; felonies carry a year or more in prison and bigger long-term consequences.
Can a public defender handle my case?
Public defenders are licensed attorneys, but heavy caseloads mean less personal attention than a private lawyer.
