Our Criminal Defense
Practice Areas

We represent clients in a full range of Kentucky criminal cases, including

DUI / Drunk Driving Defense

Even a first-time DUI can lead to license suspension, fines, and jail time. We fight DUI charges aggressively, challenging traffic stops, field sobriety tests, and breath or blood test results.

Drug Charges

Facing charges for possession, trafficking, or paraphernalia? We defend against all drug-related accusations — from marijuana to opioids — and pursue reduced or dismissed charges whenever possible.

Assault & Violent Crimes

Violent crime charges come with serious consequences. We investigate thoroughly and defend against charges ranging from misdemeanor assault to felony wanton endangerment and strangulation.

Domestic Violence Charges

Domestic violence cases can impact your freedom, housing, and relationships. We handle EPO/DVO hearings, assault allegations, and false accusations with care and urgency.

Theft & Property Crimes

From shoplifting to burglary and fraud, we aim to minimize penalties and seek alternatives to jail, including restitution agreements and diversion programs.

Felony Defense

Felony convictions can affect your life permanently. We defend against Class A to D felonies, including drug trafficking, robbery, and violent crimes, using deep legal insight and aggressive strategies.

Misdemeanor Defense

Even minor charges can leave a lasting mark. We handle disorderly conduct, possession, minor theft, and harassment charges with the goal of record protection and penalty reduction.

Probation Violations

Violating probation can send you straight to jail. We move quickly to explain your circumstances, show compliance, and argue for continued probation or reduced consequences.

Expungements

Ready to clear your record? We guide clients through Kentucky’s expungement process, helping eligible individuals seal their past and move forward with confidence.

Juvenile Defense

Youth mistakes shouldn’t lead to lifelong records. We defend minors with an eye on their future — focusing on diversion, record sealing, and rehabilitation-focused solutions.

Traffic & License Offenses

Speeding tickets, reckless driving, suspended licenses — we defend against traffic violations and protect your ability to drive legally and affordably.

White Collar & Fraud Crimes

Accused of embezzlement, forgery, or identity theft? These charges require a detail-oriented defense. We know how to dissect financial evidence and challenge prosecutor claims.
