Have you been charged with a crime? If so, you need a criminal defense attorney with a record of successful court cases on your side.

The criminal defense system is very difficult to navigate without the representation of a seasoned attorney. People who go to court for criminal charges without a lawyer are more likely to end up with a “guilty” verdict and harsher sentencing than those who have representation.

Our Approach to Criminal Defense

At Carter & Rader, we view our law firm as a judgment-free zone. We understand that everyone makes mistakes in life. Some people make more serious mistakes or make mistakes at the wrong time or in the wrong place. We will not pass judgment on any mistakes you’ve made. Instead, we seek to listen closely to your unique situation and approach it with compassion.

Once we understand the details of all the factors involved in your situation, we will determine the best approach to your criminal defense case. Our goal is to represent your interests to the best of our ability, so you can avoid a “guilty” charge or have your sentence commuted. We’ve found that the earlier a person contacts us, the more favorable of an outcome we are able to achieve.
