Martinsburg, WV Criminal Defense Representation

Our Criminal Defense Practice Areas

We provide comprehensive legal help in the following areas:

• State Misdemeanors. These are generally considered less serious than felony charges and can range from simple assault to shoplifting, simple drug possession for one’s own use, and more. 
• Felonies. These are more serious than misdemeanors, with jail or prison time consisting of more than a year along with fines and other court actions. They can range from nonviolent financial crimes to homicide at the state and federal levels.
• Homicide and Murder. These are among the gravest charges you can face. A conviction will change your life forever, with prison sentences up to life without the possibility of parole, depending on the circumstances. 
• White-Collar Crimes. These crimes are generally financially motivated, dealing with money and property. They involve misrepresentation, deceit, and fraud and can be charged as misdemeanors or felonies in state and federal courts. 
• Domestic Violence. Threatening or causing harm to spouses, household members, or intimate partners are considered very serious matters by the state courts; you will need prompt representation to protect your rights and future. These cases can include violations of protective orders or restraining orders as well. 
• Drug Crimes. These can range from low-level marijuana charges to large-scale narcotics trafficking leading to federal felony cases. 
• DUI. A DUI arrest can be an overwhelming and intimidating experience with significant consequences ranging from the loss of your license to heavy fines and more.
• Federal Crimes. Prosecuted in federal court, these crimes often carry harsher penalties than state crimes and can have long-term effects on your life. 
• Criminal Traffic Offenses. Hit and run, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, and more can result in incarceration and hefty fines. 
• Firearm and Gun Crimes. The state of West Virginia regulates the possession, use, and sale of guns. Violations of these laws can lead to serious penalties. 
• Sex Crimes. Any sexually-related crime is heavily prosecuted with harsh and often life-changing penalties. Defendants also may be charged with federal sex offenses. 
• Theft Crimes. Stealing another’s property or services is unlawful in West Virginia. How you are charged will depend on the value of what was stolen. 
• Violent Crimes. These range from assault and battery to carjacking, home invasion, armed robbery, kidnapping, manslaughter, and murder. Because of their disregard for human life, they are severely punished. 
• Cybercrime. Crimes committed by using the internet, from cyber hacking to identity theft, and sexually-related offenses may fall under both state and federal laws with serious consequences. 
• Conspiracy. Working with others with criminal intent is an offense you may face along with the underlying crime. Conspiracy charges may be even more serious than the original offense. 
• International Crimes. These are often extremely complicated matters requiring knowledge of laws in multiple jurisdictions and counties. We have handled cases in the Bahamas, Canada, and the Middle East. 

In all cases, you can count on the dedication and diligence of our team in serving your needs at every phase of a criminal matter, from accusations to investigations, arrests, and formal charges.
