Criminal Defense

The Self Law Firm represents criminal defendants throughout western Arkansas, primarily in the Sebastian, Crawford, Franklin, Logan and Scott county areas. As a criminal defense attorney, I have four years' experience as Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in Sebastian and Crawford counties, where I learned the intricacies of prosecuting and defending criminal cases.

Zealous Criminal Representation

When you are charged with a crime, whether it's a felony or a misdemeanor, you face a process with the potential for serious, long-term consequences. Representation by an experienced criminal defense lawyer is critical in the initial stages of a criminal prosecution. Contact me immediately if you have been charged with a crime.

My Criminal Practice

The types of cases I handle include:

• Drug Offenses - I represent defendants in all types of drug offenses, including possession, distribution, trafficking, cultivation, and importation. Search and seizure issues customarily come into play in these types of cases. I am well versed in the requirements of the 4th Amendment and will protect your interests.
  
  
• Violent Crimes - Violent crimes run the gamut from domestic violence to homicide and can also include sex-related crimes. I will ensure that your constitutional rights have not been violated and will help you present the best defenses possible.
  
  
• Felonies - A felony is generally a crime punishable by incarceration for more than one year. I provide counsel to clients charged with any type of felony, including arson, armed robbery, car jacking, kidnapping, and terrorist threats.
  
  
• Misdemeanors - A misdemeanor is a crime normally punishable by less than a year in jail. I am experienced in the defense of all types of misdemeanors and can represent you in the defense of any misdemeanor, including criminal property destruction charges, disorderly conduct, obstruction of justice, perjury, probation violations, resisting arrest, trespassing, and weapons charges.
  
  
• Traffic Offenses and Driving Under the Influence (DUI) - I have extensive experience representing people charged with all types of driving offenses such as speeding and drunk driving (DUI / DWI).
