Domestic Violence

An Aggressive Defense Against Domestic Violence Charges

Married people fight. It is an innate characteristic of many marriages. Although fighting is normal, sometimes anger gets blown out of proportion. In a rage of anger, men may threaten their wives and women may hit their husbands. In a calm state of mind, most people recognize that that behavior is not acceptable, but when tempers are flying, some people have a hard time controlling their actions.

Unfortunately, that does not make the criminal charges any less real. If you are facing charges for domestic violence or spousal abuse, the actions of a few angry fights could change the rest of your life. It is important to find a lawyer who will help protect your freedom.

Consequences of Domestic Violence Convictions

Most domestic violence cases are two-fold. In addition to the domestic violence charges, you may also need to respond to Protection from Abuse orders. If convicted, you can never possess a firearm again. This law could be detrimental to people who are in the army or law enforcement, or people who hunt recreation ally.

Blog, Criminal Defense

A charge for drug possession or trafficking can be a serious misdemeanor or even felony. For more than 20 years, I have represented individuals facing all types of drug charges, from possession to unlawful distribution, trafficking and manufacturing.

I work diligently toward the best possible solution for each client. If you are facing charges concerning marijuana, crack cocaine or crystal meth, you need an experienced lawyer on your side.

Competent and Understanding Legal Representation

I have handled many types of cases over the years, involving a variety of drug-related charges. I understand the difficulties confronting each client and I offer advice in each step of the process.

Even when it appears the case against you is solid, you still have a chance to work out a plea or get your charges dropped entirely. You have several options at your disposal, and I will employ every tool that I have as an advocate to get the best results possible in your case.

Alternative Options for Disposition

Alabama offers conditional alternative sentencing in some cases. In these cases, my clients have two years to complete a treatment program, after which their cases are dismissed. Individuals entering this program must complete treatment or be subject to a sentence of two years in prison.

I understand your options for alternative sentencing and I can recommend a treatment system for you. Your very freedom is at stake; I work with every client to ensure they receive the best chance for living productively as possible.

Defending Young Adults in Criminal Matters

Blog, Criminal Defense

Some people say youth is wasted on the young. I don’t agree with that. Young people are willing to take chances and make mistakes. They stretch beyond their comfort zone, and they test rules to find the real limits.

Kids Will Be Kids

Kids and teenagers like to spend time with their friends. They are at an age where they are easily influenced by the people around them. Unfortunately, when you get a group of young people together, they do not always make the smartest choices. I defend teenagers who are facing charges for juvenile crimes, including:

Drug crimes: I defend juveniles who are facing charges for possession, possession with intent to sell, trafficking or manufacturing illegal or prescription drugs.
Drunk driving: If you are under 21, it is illegal to consume any amount of alcohol. If you are pulled over after you have been drinking and driving, the penalties can be severe.
Theft: Whether you are caught shoplifting or stealing items with more value, it is important to protect your criminal record.

I work with clients to minimize the charges they are facing. Although I cannot guarantee results for my clients, I work with juveniles and their parents to try to keep them out of jail and juvenile detention facilities.
