North Carolina Criminal Lawyer
At Driver Law Firm, P.A. in Durham, North Carolina, we focus on the following areas of criminal defense:
College Student Crimes
Being charged with a crime while in college can affect your current academic status and your future. Job prospects and graduate school opportunities can disappear if you do not have experienced legal counsel to mitigate the damage.
Drug Charges
Whether your drug charges involve illegal narcotics or prescription medication, you need aggressive representation that will fight for your best interests and protect your rights.
Murder / Homicide
Criminal lawyer Michael Driver has an exceptional record in dealing with murder cases. Despite eyewitness testimony, he has secured a not guilty verdict and numerous dismissals of murder cases. His experience will help you if you are facing homicide charges.
Domestic Violence / Assault
If you have been charged with murder, drug trafficking, or a sex offense, a magistrate can set a bond for you immediately. This is not the case for domestic violence offenses. If you have been charged with a domestic violence crime, you can be held in jail without bond for 48 hours. The state treats these charges differently and prosecutors pursue these cases aggressively. You need experienced representation to even the odds against you.
White-collar Crimes (Fraud)
Prosecutors treat white collar crimes and fraud charges very seriously. Complex credit card fraud can be prosecuted in both state and federal court and can result in years in prison. White-collar criminal activities and fraud schemes are often sophisticated, and require the experience of a knowledgeable attorney.
Identity Theft
As technology improves, identity theft is becoming more sophisticated. It now not only includes stealing checks and actual credit cards, but also covers very complex computer-based fraudulent schemes to steal credit card and social security information. At Driver Law Firm, P.A., we will defend your rights if you are charged with any form of identity theft.
Employee Theft
Employee theft has serious consequences for anyone facing charges. A conviction for larceny can end your career, land you in jail, and even result in your deportation if you are here on a work permit or visa. Our office will assist in all aspects of your defense.
Sex Crimes A sex crimes charge brings with it an automatic stigma in the public eye. Criminal lawyer Michael Driver has years of experience defending these types of cases. He understands that your rights are at stake, and you must act immediately to protect yourself.
Federal Crimes
Federal criminal laws are complicated and the punishments are harsh. Most federal convictions result in a prison sentence, not probation. Federal criminal cases proceed much faster than most state cases. If you have been charged with a federal crime, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side.
