Criminal Defense

Sometimes innocent people are accused of crimes. Other times, good people find themselves in a bad situation.  Our legal system affords these individuals the ability to confront their accusers and defend against State action.  If you find yourself in this situation, don’t wait to call us. You want a lawyer that will hold the State to its burden and fight for your rights.

The accused need reliable and experienced representation but often make the mistake of waiting too long to get started, which can prolong the process and leave them at a disadvantage. Many people are not aware that some criminal charges can have consequences that go beyond having a criminal history. Here are a few examples:

If you are facing criminal charges for domestic violence, your rights as a parent in a child custody case could be impacted, as could some of your constitutional rights.

If you have been accused of theft or fraud you could be disqualified from being named a legal guardian or executor for a family member’s estate. It is important to work with an attorney that is familiar with these areas of law and how they impact each other.  If you have pending criminal charges, you do not want to delay in finding legal assistance. At Carter Law, we are here to help, and our track record speaks for itself.
