Criminal Defense

Being charged with a crime is a stressful experience. The possibility of a conviction that leads to strict legal penalties, expensive fines, and damage to one’s reputation is difficult to deal with. In addition to these negative consequences, simply navigating the complicated legal process of a criminal investigation can be overwhelming. The best way to meet the challenges posed by a criminal proceeding against you is to invest in an excellent defense attorney who will walk with you through the court process and vigorously advocate on your behalf. 

DUI/DWI Defense

Being charged with a DUI is stressful because it opens the possibility of expensive fines, suspension or revocation of your driver’s license, a damaged reputation, and even jail or prison time. Although, there is hope because these penalties can be avoided through a strong legal defense.

Traffic Ticket Defense

Traffic tickets are the most common citations issued by law enforcement. Most drivers will receive a traffic ticket at some point in their lives. Traffic tickets require paying fines, which can significantly increase your car insurance rate and even result in a driver’s license suspension. There is a multitude of laws that regulate driving, and the penalties you may face from a traffic violation depend on the specific circumstances of your case. However, a skilled traffic ticket defense attorney can often reduce charges, penalties, or even get your citation dismissed entirely.

“I am a licensed physician (M.D.) with a law degree (J.D.) . This is my real name. The “bad attorney” can be a famous successful criminal trial attorney , but if he does not answer your calls, he really is not interested in your case. The good criminal attorney answers your calls and calls YOU to inform you of the progress of your case. Mr. Shaffer Cormell is such a good attorney. He ALSO gets good results/resolution of my case too , not from luck , but from his efforts. Thank you . You are a rare breed Mr. Cormell.”
