Misdemeanor Defense

Many people try to represent themselves for misdemeanors, which can prove to be a costly mistake. Representing yourself can result in you getting a stiffer sentence that what you should actually receive. Oklahoma has sentencing guidelines that courts and prosecutors must abide by, but there is no law that says they have to move forward with the charges that the police arrested you for.

After reviewing the evidence the state has against you, I will work with the prosecutor to try to obtain a dismissal or a reduced sentence. A misdemeanor charge resulting from a simple mistake or from being in the wrong place at the wrong time can follow you for the rest of your life.

The police aren’t always correct. They might have arrested you for a crime that you didn’t commit. I ensure that your rights aren’t violated during settlement negotiations and if your case goes to court. I also make sure you get through the criminal justice process as painlessly as possible.
