Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Our trained legal professionals also have experience representing interested persons in contested estates, including court litigation;as well as general civil litigation and criminal defense (misdemeanors only).
• Sex Crimes
  Jesse Lyle Bootman, initially charged with sexual assault, sexual abuse and aggravated assault after a grand jury hearing in October, recently was indicted on additional charges of kidnapping and of drugging the alleged victim with a prescription sleep aid.
• Fraud
  Eral law and a state offense violates a state law. In some cases, however, federal and state laws cover the same area of criminal law. Federal and state laws can coexist because they are in agreement, but if a state law contradicts a federal law, the federal law generally trumps the state law in the interest of the national welfare. In other areas of criminal law, the federal government has exclusive power to regulate, enforce, and prosecute alleged crimes. These matters often involve interstate commerce, national security, and federal programs. This is why most alleged white collar crimes, such as credit card fraud, tax evasion, and welfare fraud, are prosecuted in federal courts.
