As criminal defense counsel in Oxford, home to the University of Mississippi, we place a special emphasis on defense of youth and young adults. However, we have extensive criminal defense experience representing all types of clients – from misdemeanor charges including public drunk, minor in possession, fake identification, simple assault and DUI to felony charges involving possession or sale of drugs and narcotics, burglary, assault, sex offenses, embezzlement, armed robbery and murder.

If you are facing or anticipating criminal prosecution, it is imperative that experienced counsel be engaged as soon as possible. The best criminal defense outcome interrupts the investigation before it becomes public or a grand jury returns an indictment. Successful resolution begins with an honest discussion about the criminal justice system and the consequences of conviction, followed by rigorous analysis of the law and evidence, and finally creative defense strategies and solutions. If prosecution cannot be avoided, we will work with you to successfully defend your case in the courtroom.

Driving Under the Influence – DUI: A conviction for driving under the influence can have serious consequences, including the potential for a life-long criminal record. Misdemeanor First-Offense or Second-Offense convictions come with potential loss of your driver’s license, steep fines, required class attendance, and the potential for 48 hours to two weeks of jail time. Felony Third-Offense and Fourth-Offense convictions have additional penalties, including prison time. Because of the serious potential consequences of a DUI conviction, it is important to consult with experienced counsel to determine whether there is the potential to avoid a conviction. We have handled countless DUI cases – we know the law and will work diligently to defend you.

Drug Offenses: We represent a number of persons charged with felony drug and narcotic offenses every year – often these clients are young people with no criminal history. Drug offenses are serious cases that can result in prison time and/or a felony criminal record, but they may also signal a problem with substance abuse and/or addiction. We understand that some drug arrests may be a symptom of a broader health concern, so our firm has established partnerships with local drug and alcohol treatment professionals to assist clients during and after our representation.
