Carmichael Law is a criminal defense firm which provides services and representation to individuals being investigated or charged with crimes in State or Federal Court. We pride ourselves on our approach of being “focused on clients, driven by results.” This is far more than a slogan, and far more than a motto. It is a pledge that we make to each and every client. A pledge to keep clients informed. A pledge to seek the best possible outcome. A pledge to put client needs at the forefront.

Let’s face it – being charged with a criminal offense is life-changing. Your life has been turned upside down, and you need help to get it back on track. Carmichael Law knows that the consequences of criminal charges exceed beyond just what happens in a courtroom. Even if someone is not sentenced to or facing incarceration; the potential of being expelled from school, losing a job, a home, custody of children, the right to vote, the right to own or possess a firearm, and the loss of a driver’s license are all potential consequences of criminal charges. When you are being investigated or have been arrested for criminal charges, it is crucial to obtain counsel to represent your interests as soon as possible. Obtaining counsel in the early stages of the criminal process allows us to use our experience gained from handling thousands of cases to develop a strategy and game plan to minimize your risk, and in turn, the consequences you are facing. Choosing an attorney is a serious decision. Do not make the mistake of choosing someone who does not care about your future, or does not have the time to focus on your case – resulting in a defense which may do more harm than good.
