Criminal Defense & Traffic Representation

Being charged with a crime or serious traffic offense can be stressful and isolating. Whether you're facing your first misdemeanor or dealing with a lower-level felony, you deserve legal representation that is strategic, responsive, and rooted in respect.

At SMR Legal, I represent individuals in state and local courts charged with misdemeanors, lower-level felonies, and traffic violations—including cases involving commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs). My practice is built on clear communication, client-centered advocacy, and a deep commitment to guiding you through each step of the process.

With strong relationships across the legal community and courtroom experience handling everything from plea negotiations to contested hearings, I’m equipped to advocate for the best outcome—whether that means seeking a dismissal, a reduced charge, or going to trial.

Your case deserves more than a cookie-cutter defense. At SMR Legal, I take the time to understand your story and fight for your future.

What To Do If You’ve Been Arrested in Indiana

If you’ve been arrested or charged with a crime in Indiana, your freedom, record, and reputation could be on the line. From the moment of your arrest—or even before—law enforcement begins building a case against you. You deserve someone equally committed to protecting your rights from the start.

At SMR Legal, I understand how frustrating and intimidating the process can be. Too often, no one stops to hear your side of the story. The police may have rushed to judgment, failed to investigate thoroughly, or even violated your constitutional rights.

That’s why I listen first—and listen closely. Your story matters, and your defense starts with being heard.

Whether you’re facing a misdemeanor, lower-level felony, or serious traffic offense (including CDL issues), I’ll help you understand what to expect, what your options are, and how we can move forward together.
