Criminal defense
Criminal defense for a charge in your own county
A charge in a small town feels public. We move quickly, tell you plainly what you're facing, and stand beside you in court.
Drunk-driving charges
First and repeat offenses, license hearings, and the work permit that keeps you driving to work.
Misdemeanors
Theft, disorderly conduct, possession and other charges that can still follow you.
Felonies
Serious charges, from the first appearance through trial or a plea.
Traffic and license problems
Speeding and other tickets, suspensions, and getting a license back.
Juvenile matters
Charges against a child or teenager, handled with school and family in mind.
Probation violations
When probation is at risk, at the hearing and before it.
In court
A few blocks from the courthouse
Daniel is at the county courthouse most weeks, and drives to the others we cover. Call as soon as you're charged or contacted by police; it's often what happens in the first days that matters most.
Until you've talked with us
Don't discuss the charge with police or anyone else
Write down what happened while you remember it
Keep every paper you were given

Common questions
Should I talk to the police?
Be polite, give your name, and say you'd like to speak with a lawyer first. Then call us.
Will I have to go to jail?
It depends on the charge and your history. We'll tell you honestly what's possible after we've read the complaint.
How do you charge for criminal cases?
Most criminal cases are a flat fee for each stage, quoted in writing before we start.
Can a charge come off my record?
Some can be expunged after a dismissal or after time has passed. Ask us, and we'll check yours.
