• DUI/DWI
  As a local Louisa County, Virginia attorney, a big part of my representation is in getting to know my clients and developing trust. If you are accused of DUI/DWI, I believe you deserve the best representation possible. This includes having an attorney who knows the law, the technology, the science involved, who will aggressively defend your case and who truly cares about you. I have attended relevant seminars across the country for a number of years, and have taken breath test courses.
• Traffic Violations
  According to reports, in Virginia, the average commute takes just under 30 minutes, which is one of the longest commutes in the US. The longer your commute the greater the likelihood that you will at some point, be subject to a driving offense, speeding ticket etc. Drivers who get caught speeding will have to pay a fine for each mile over the speed limit plus court costs which can add up. Having an experienced attorney involved in the more serious driving offenses is paramount.
• Sex Crimes
  Rape and sexual assault cases are among the hardest for defendants to win. Attorney Stephen C. Harris has the experience and skills to successfully argue these cases. The level of offense depends on the crime committed. The federal government has enacted laws that outline the tier of offense based on several different criteria.For certain crimes where minors are involved there are restrictions that prevent convicted parties from living within a certain radius places where children reside (parks, schools, day cares etc.).
• Fraud
  If you have been charged with a felony, it is essential to have an experienced criminal defense attorney zealously defend you in court. Felonies are extremely serious crimes — murder, rape, armed robbery, credit card fraud and burglary — and have serious consequences. A convicted felon will be sentenced to serve at least one year in a state or federal prison, and may be committed for life. In addition, convicted felons are stripped of many of the rights guaranteed to American citizens, including the right to vote, the right to travel out of the country and the right to own a gun. Convicted felons also have to disclose their crimes on job applications, and can be deported if they are not American citizens. How you handle a felony charge can make the difference for the rest of your life. We will work to attain the best possible result for you.
• Robbery
• Burglary
• Misdemeanors
  Misdemeanors are crimes punishable by less than one year in prison and may include such offenses as disorderly conduct, simple assault, shoplifting and trespassing. Although misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, having a misdemeanor conviction on your criminal record can limit your employment options and require you to spend time in jail. Let attorney Harris represent you and ensure that you receive a fair trial.
