Each jurisdiction has its own rules and regulations governing these types of cases. For your peace of mind, it is highly recommended that you choose a criminal defense lawyer specializing in the field.
Criminal defense lawyers can specialize in defending clients with different charges, such as :
Assault Battery
Depending on the injury suffered, an assault charge may be considered a misdemeanor or a felony. An assault is an act of violence that does not include attempting to murder by assault. Our criminal defense lawyers will provide you with the best defense possible to beat these charges. In some cases, our lawyer may be able to persuade prosecutors to dismiss the charges if a minor injury was involved.
Bench Warrants
A bench warrant is a court order for arresting an accused individual issued by a judge if the person in question fails to appear in court after being summoned. You should contact a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible in these situations. A good lawyer can have the bench warrant dismissed or have your bail reduced to allow you to await the hearing from home rather than behind bars.
Disorderly Conduct & Intoxication
In many jurisdictions, being drunk in public is a misdemeanor offense. If you are found intoxicated in any public place, you may be subject to arrest for disorderly conduct and intoxication charges.
Domestic Violence
If you are accused of domestic violence, you must understand that you have a right to a lawyer. Domestic violence charged may be among the charges in your case. You must hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible to defend against these charges and contact an attorney immediately to ensure that there are no restraining orders against you.
Driving with suspended license
In most states, driving while your license has been suspended is a criminal offense. You may be booked into jail and taken before a judge without formally arraigned. If you must operate a vehicle for work, it is important to consult with a lawyer who can help you to avoid these penalties.
Drug Charges
Drug charges come in many forms and may be related to the possession or sale of illegal substances, prescription drugs, or controlled substances. Drug offenses are often charged with additional counts, such as felony charges or DUI violations. Depending on the number of drugs involved, a criminal defense lawyer may be able to negotiate with prosecutors to reduce or dismiss the charges.
DUI – Driving Under The Influence.
Driving while intoxicated is a serious criminal offense in most states. To avoid criminal penalties, you must consult with a lawyer as soon as possible in these situations. Alcohol-related charges are very complicated, and our criminal defense lawyers will provide you with a detailed explanation of your rights and possible legal options.
Federal Crimes
Current laws in many states allow the state to charge you with federal crimes if certain actions are taken, and a certain threshold is met. These include, but are not limited to, felony violations of civil rights and acts of terrorism. Many states even provide for the state to expand federal charges beyond those already provided in federal law. Federal charges may also be issued against individuals who plan or conspire to commit violent or terrorist acts. A criminal lawyer with experience in federal court is best equipped to defend against these charges, which are likely to carry harsher penalties than those provided by state laws.
Juvenile Crimes
Depending on their crimes and the facts surrounding their arrest, minors can also be charged with several federal offenses. In many cases, these cases are handled in juvenile court, where proceedings are entirely confidential.
Fraud & Felonies Crimes
Fraud and felony crimes can be charged in many different ways. To have these charges dismissed or reduced, you must consult with a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.
Leaving The Scene
It is not uncommon for alleged drunk drivers to flee the scene of an accident or attempt to evade law enforcement. You must contact a criminal lawyer immediately if you are arrested for an alleged hit and run.
Misdemeanors Crimes
Under state law, misdemeanors are the least serious crimes and carry a maximum of one-year imprisonment.
Probation Violations
Criminal defense lawyers help clients who have violated the terms of their probation. Our criminal defense lawyers understand that many defenses can be raised against allegations of probation violations.
Theft Crimes
In some cases, criminal charges deal with the theft or loss of property. If you have been accused of theft or have seen others charged with this crime, you must contact a criminal defense lawyer as early as possible.
Sex Crimes
The penalties for sex crimes are quite severe and often include lengthy prison sentences even upon a first offense. It is important to consult with an attorney right away.
Weapons Charges
