Jasper Criminal Defense Attorney

The consequences of being found guilty of a criminal offense are serious. You may face incarceration, steep fines, and the loss of your right to drive and carry a firearm. Employers interviewing you will want an explanation for your conviction. You may even lose access to your own children.

To avoid these negative consequences, you want to hire the best lawyer you can, one who is experienced in criminal defense and knows the local courts.

Defending Against OWI/DWI/DUI And Drug Charges

When I take a criminal case I have three goals, from most preferable to least.

First, I seek to have the charges dismissed. This is the best possible solution for you, and if I can manage it — by pointing out errors in the arrest or contradictory evidence — everyone is happy.

Second, I seek to have the charges reduced. Prosecutors want convictions, which we reluctantly agree to if it is to a significantly lesser charge.

Third, I look for another choice of penalties. Can the trial be charged in a drug court, or on a deferred prosecution basis? The aim here is to avoid hard time in prison, which can be extremely harmful, and to accept community service, training and therapy as alternatives. You agree to change, and your record remains clean.
