Generally, unless a criminal prosecution is terminated (by means of dismissal with or without prejudice, nolle prosequi, or dead docket), it is resolved in one of two manners: trial or a plea.  We provide representation for jury and bench trials as well as plea negotiations.

Remember that you have the right to remain silent and to consult an attorney.  Because law enforcement officers are able to engage in deception to gather information, one should be cautious in speaking with them without an attorney.  Let us speak for you to help manage a delicate situation. 

The starting point for a criminal defense analysis is looking at the statute in question.  The specific language of the statute, i.e., how the crime is described, shapes how acts are interpreted.  An offense incorrectly accused by the state may result in dismissal, or the state may be able to amend to a charge the facts in question do fit.  Feel free to contact us if you are interested in taking a closer look at the statute under which you have been or fear you may be charged.
