Criminal Defense

We handle all types of criminal cases including Felonies, Misdemeanors, DUI, and Traffic Offenses.

If you or someone you know has been arrested for a criminal offense it is important that you have an experienced attorney review your case in order to determine if a Motion to Dismiss or a Motion to Suppress should be filed which could eliminate your charge completely. There are also programs available that, if completed successfully, can allow you to have your case dismissed. If you do not live in the immediate area, or going to court would be difficult due to health reasons, Ms. Powers may be able to represent you without you ever having to step into a courtroom. While there are no guarantees, many cases can be worked out prior to trial. In the alternative, Ms. Powers may review your case with you and determine that a jury trial is in your best interest. Every case is different and unique. That is why it is important that you contact us today so that you understand your options.
