The "Big" Cases
Felony charges can have immediate and serious consequences. Anyone facing the possibility of jail time or a prison sentence for a felony offense understands the necessity of retaining the services of an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
If you have been charged with a felony and need quality legal representation, we can help. Attorney Steven R. Roach handles all felony charges, including assault, weapons charges, murder, rape, gang related offenses, domestic violence, felony theft, auto theft, embezzlement, fraud, burglary, robbery, drug trafficking, Internet crimes and felony DUI.
The "Small" Cases
We handle all criminal charges. This includes cases that some people might describe as "small" or "minor." However, as we see it, there are no "small" cases in criminal court.
Even a seemingly minor charge can have a significant impact on the rest of your life. A traffic ticket can result in several years of increased auto insurance rates. A first time DUI can result in driver's license suspension, revocation, the installation of an ignition interlock or SCRAM device, and hefty fines. A misdemeanor theft conviction can cost you your job and impede future opportunities.
All criminal charges carry the potential for serious consequences. In some cases, it may not be the immediate punishment that hurts; rather, it may be the unknown and unanticipated consequences that really sting.
Perhaps it is that minor shoplifting conviction on your record that costs you the dream job you have been seeking. It could be the DUI your husband or wife uses as ammunition in a divorce or child custody proceeding. Nearly any criminal matter can have a long-term effect on your life.
