HOPKINSVILLE CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY

 

As a Hopkinsville Criminal Defense Attorney, I have over seven years of prosecutorial experience, both as former Assistant Christian County Attorney and as a former Assistant Commonwealth Attorney. Armed with this experience, I know that, whether you’re facing a first time DUI, or you have multiple felony convictions, your case is too important not to get the best legal assistance you can find. I know my clients are worried about losing their license, their employment, or even their freedom. I also know that, when this happens, people need quick and clear answers to their legal questions.

I am often able to arrange for release on one’s own recognizance or the posting of a cash or signature bond. Where warranted, I will also fight for a bail reduction for release so that we can defend the case with the client free from incarceration, while we work together to defend the case. I do much more than simply plea bargain or question witnesses in court. We also provide the following services:

  • Providing my clients with an objective perspective on their situation and what is likely to happen if their cases go to trial. This perspective is vital for defendants trying to decide whether to accept a plea bargain offered by the prosecutor.
  • Familiarizing and explaining to my client’s important legal rules. Many criminal law rules are hidden away in court interpretations of federal and state constitutions.
  • Taking advantage of or local court practice and procedures that are vital to effective representation but aren’t written down anywhere.
  • Making my clients understand the legal and practical consequences of simply pleading guilty.


I can assist you with Misdemeanor or Felony charges, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • All Felonies
  • All Misdemeanors
  • DUI
  • Domestic Violence
  • Traffic Citations
  • Probation Violations
  • Record Expungement
In short, I have the necessary experience to handle any criminal charge whether it be in federal or state court. I have the litigation skill, and responsiveness needed to succeed in criminal cases. I will vigorously pursue justice, and make myself available for clients due to my understanding of the drastic and far-reaching effects associated with criminal charges.
