If you are charged with a crime your freedom can be at risk as well as your reputation. Even if your freedom is not at stake, criminal charges can have other negative impacts. Depending on the case and your goals, we can either negotiation a plea agreement for you or take the case to a jury trial. We have handled all kinds of cases ranging from simple infractions, speeding tickets, all the way up to the highest level of felonies, including murder. We’ve negotiated and tried taken to trial hundreds of cases. Our objective to try to get you the best result possible under the circumstances. Under both the Indiana Constitution and the United States Constitution you are presumed innocent and you have the right to an attorney.
Expungement
Most criminal convictions can be expunged. An expungement can give you a clean slate and restore your civil liberties, including your gun rights.

Helping clients with expungements are one of our favorite things to do for people.
