Offering an Aggressive Defense Strategy in Hamilton County
Our law firm's managing member, J. Cris Helton, was a local prosecutor before focusing on criminal defense. He knows firsthand how prosecutors work in developing a case against individuals facing felony and misdemeanor charges. Mr. Helton applies his years of experience and legal skills focused on staying ahead of the prosecution.
When you select our law firm, you can feel confident that we will take every measure possible to develop an aggressive defense strategy. Attorney Helton and his legal team will seek to uncover any holes in the prosecution's evidence, including a lack of credible witnesses. We will also conduct our own investigation to protect your rights when facing serious allegations, such as:
- First-offense DUI charges
- Multiple-offense DUI charges
- Underage drinking
- Drug crimes including drug trafficking and manufacturing
- Violent crimes
- Domestic assault
- Juvenile defense
As part of our investigation, we will seek to uncover any evidence that can be used in your favor. Our legal team will fight for the charges to be dismissed based on a lack of evidence or violations of your constitutional rights. We are committed to protecting your clean record. If the charges cannot be dropped, we will seek a reduction in penalties based on your clean record of the steps you have taken to get help through a rehabilitation-type program.
