Defense for Misdemeanor & Felony Charges

I handle criminal allegations ranging from traffic offenses to serious felonies. The right defense strategy depends on what the prosecution must prove, the available evidence, the procedural history, and your priorities.

My criminal defense practice includes:

• Misdemeanor defense: Representation for charges that may involve fines, probation, incarceration, and lasting effects on employment or personal responsibilities.
• Felony defense: Careful preparation for allegations carrying more severe potential penalties and complex court proceedings.
• DWI defense: Review of the traffic stop, testing procedures, and other evidence related to a driving while intoxicated charge.
• Drug charges: Defense against possession and other drug-related allegations, with attention to searches, seizures, and evidence handling.
• Violent and domestic allegations: Representation for domestic violence, assault, and battery accusations.
• Property and driving offenses: Defense against theft crimes, traffic offenses, and related allegations.

What Representation Includes From First Contact

Effective representation begins with understanding what happened and which deadlines or appearances are approaching. When I represent you, I provide legal counsel and criminal case management without routing communication through a paralegal or assistant.

Depending on the facts, I may review police reports and other evidence, examine the legality of a stop or search, communicate with prosecutors, address court requirements, and prepare for hearings or trial. I also assess witness accounts, test results, and whether the prosecution can prove every required element of the alleged offense.

No single approach fits every defense. Prior history, available evidence, the current court posture, and concerns involving driving privileges, employment, or family responsibilities can all shape the strategy.

Navigating Fayetteville & Washington County Courts

A criminal charge may proceed through different courts or divisions depending on its jurisdiction and procedural stage. Washington County Circuit Court handles criminal matters within the county, while the Washington County Circuit Clerk processes court documents.

I’m familiar with local judges, prosecutors, and procedures throughout Northwest Arkansas. That knowledge informs planning around filing practices, scheduling, courtroom expectations, and communication with the offices involved. It doesn’t imply influence over any judge or prosecutor, and each defense depends on its own facts and applicable law.

More Than 1,000 Cases Handled

I graduated from the University of Arkansas School of Law in 2013 and am admitted to practice in Arkansas. I’ve handled more than 1,000 cases. These figures describe my past work and don’t determine the outcome of any individual charge.

My professional background also includes:

• Membership in the Arkansas Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers
• Membership in the Benton County Bar Association
• Selection to the Super Lawyers® Rising Stars list from 2021 through 2023
