CRIMINAL LAW


Criminal law involves defending individuals who have been charged by the State with a violation of law. There are various types of charges brought by the State. An infraction, such as a speeding ticket, has a fixed fine amount. Some driving related tickets, such as a first offense no insurance ticket, can affect your driving status. A misdemeanor carries potential for jail time. A felony carries the potential of more than a year in jail.

A good defense attorney will ensure the State abided by the constitutional rights in charging you with the violation. In addition, the defense attorney will work for you to ensure you receive a fair sentence for the particular violation. The consequences of being charged by the state can be great – loss of driving privileges, incarceration, fines, probation, counseling, drug testing, etc. Alan has spent the last 3 ½ years in the prosecutor’s office addressing these violations and brings that experience to work in his clients behalf.
