Experienced Criminal Defense Representation To Protect Your Rights

If you face criminal charges, the outcome of your case can dramatically and permanently change your life. You need an attorney with experience, knowledge and a passion for criminal defense to fight for you. At Shircliff Law LLC, I represent clients in Fishers in various criminal defense cases.

With over 30 years of experience, I know how to leverage my legal knowledge to help you achieve your goals, protect your reputation and, whenever possible, keep you out of jail. When you work with me, you receive the small firm attention you deserve with the large firm experience required to present a strong defense on your behalf.

Comprehensive Criminal Defense Representation

No matter what criminal charge you face, you deserve experienced legal counsel. From violent offenses to drug crimes and traffic violations, I have decades of experience assisting clients in a wide range of misdemeanor and felony cases.

At Shircliff Law LLC, I can defend you against a variety of criminal charges, including:

• Misdemeanors such as trespassing, disorderly conduct, petty theft and vandalism
• Violent crimes
• DUI
• Drug charges, including possession and drug dealing offenses
• Weapons charges
• Domestic violence allegations

In some instances, a misdemeanor charge can be upgraded to a felony. Having a strong legal defender by your side is vital to protect your rights. Most felony offenses carry stiff penalties, and the judgment can be life-altering. I know that every case is different, and the conditions of a crime may vary. When you work with me, I will tailor a legal strategy to suit your needs and goals.

What Should I Say To The Police?

If you are stopped by the police or placed under arrest, your best option is to say nothing under your right to remain silent. Under the United States Constitution, you have a right to have a lawyer present. It is important to remember that anything you say can be used against you in your case.

Will My Criminal Case Go To Trial?

While every case is different, many criminal cases are settled through plea bargains before trial. I will explain all your options, negotiate with the prosecutor and advise you on the risks and benefits of accepting a plea deal or going to trial.

What Happens If I Am Sentenced To Probation?

Probation is a form of criminal sentence that allows you to serve your time outside of jail. When you are on probation, you will be assigned a probation officer and given the terms of your probation. Typically, you will not be allowed to use drugs or alcohol, you must complete counseling or classes and community service. If you violate your probation, you could spend time behind bars.

Why Choose Shircliff Law LLC?

When you face criminal charges, you need a local attorney you can trust to defend you and ensure your rights are protected.

At Shircliff Law LLC:

• I have represented clients in over 160 jury trials and have a demonstrated record of trial success for my clients.

• I dedicate the time and energy necessary to help you achieve your goals and fight for a favorable outcome.

While you may have the option to work with a public defender, they often have a large caseload, leaving them overworked, and they simply don’t have the resources that a private attorney can bring to the table. The goal of criminal defense is to obtain a positive outcome in any situation. In some cases, that may be an acquittal, but in others, the goal could be to reduce your charges or penalties.
