If you are facing a criminal charge, Lewis & Associates will provide you with comprehensive legal representation.  We defend all of your rights and explore all of your legal options.  At Lewis & Associates, we understand the severity of criminal charges and the toll they can take on a person’s life.  If you have been accused of criminal conduct, it is imperative that you take action immediately.  Lewis & Associates helps you understand your rights and defends those rights vigorously.  As your counsel, we explain the charges being brought against you, guide you through likely outcomes and scenarios, and recommend the best course of action with your particular situation and circumstances in mind.

Our attorneys represent our clients from start to finish:  from the initial appearance, and bond hearing to the arraignment and trial, and on through the appeals process, if necessary.  We pledge to keep you as informed as possible throughout the duration of the criminal proceedings.  Our defense always begins with trying to negotiate with the prosecutor to drop or reduce the charge against you.  We also always explore every single alternative to conviction and incarceration.

Additionally, our firm is adept at handling administrative matters related to criminal charges as well, such as show cause hearings before the Departments of Motor Vehicles and hearings before university disciplinary boards.  The gravity of these types of hearings is understood by the lawyers at Lewis & Associates.  We combine our experience and knowledge in these areas to obtain successful outcomes for our clients.
