Criminal law attorney that won't back down

When you or someone close to you is accused of a crime, you face the possibility of going to trial and maybe to jail. In these serious circumstances, you need to be sure you select a local criminal lawyer trained in Kentucky law who is a strong negotiator familiar with all of the options available to minimize the severity of pending charges. If you face driving under the influence (DUI) charges, you want an experienced Kentucky DUI lawyer who knows how to contest traffic stops, searches and evidence of blood alcohol content.
