Respected Kentucky firm seeks dismissals, exoneration and fair plea deals

At Shields Law Office, I represent clients in local, state and federal courts. I take on charges ranging from minor offenses and misdemeanors to serious felonies, seeking the best possible result whether that comes with the charges being dropped, a not-guilty verdict at trial, or a favorable plea agreement.

• Violent crimes — I build self-defense arguments and other strong legal responses to violent crime charges such as those for murder, assault and rape.
• Driving offenses — If you have been charged with operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving with a suspended license or another traffic offense, I can examine the police report for potential vulnerabilities.
• Drug violations — My firm handles charges related to the possession, distribution and cultivation of illegal substances, and my goal is to help clients avoid harsh penalties.
• Sex crimes — Sentences for sexual offenses can carry lifelong consequences. I will work to ensure that your side of the story is told and that your rights are protected.
• Theft — During negotiations with prosecutors and in court, I respond to larceny, robbery and other theft charges.
