Make Sure You Have A Strong Defense Against Criminal Charges
Facing criminal charges is a difficult ordeal, especially if you have not been arrested before. In many cases, this leads people to try to talk their way out of the situation, which only makes things worse. Or they may decide to plead guilty before consulting a lawyer, which is not advisable.
For experienced, assertive defense representation, contact Kellington & Oster, PC. Criminal defense attorney Theresa Kellington has over 33 years of experience in North Dakota criminal cases. She understands that every case is unique, which is why she provides personal attention to each client. Our entire legal team is here for you when you need us.
Tough Defense Against Serious Charges
At Kellington & Oster, PC, in Bismarck, our criminal defense attorney is ready to defend you or a family member against charges with serious consequences, including:
- DUI/DWI: Driving drunk criminal charges and the administrative license suspension
- Sexual assault: Rape, statutory rape, solicitation of a minor and child pornography
- Domestic assault: Domestic violence committed by family members or members of a household
- Burglary and theft: Crimes with stiff penalties and possible jail or prison time
A conviction on any of these charges can result in fines, fees, restitution, probation, and a jail or prison sentence. Depending on the offense, additional consequences may include sex offender registration, alcohol or drug counseling, anger management classes, the loss of a professional license, and damage to your reputation. That is why it’s crucial to have personalized defense representation as soon as possible.
How We Handle Criminal Cases
We begin by talking to you and thoroughly investigating the state’s case against you. If there are issues with evidence collection, search and seizure, police procedure or witness statements, we will seek to have the charges reduced or dismissed.
While we will fight as hard as you want us to, in some cases, a plea agreement is the best option. We will be honest with you about your chances at trial, and let you know if taking a plea is better. Be assured, however, that attorney Kellington is a skilled trial lawyer who is not afraid to go to court when that is in your best interests.
Don’t Wait – Getting Started Early Is Key
When a criminal defense attorney gets involved right away, we may be able to keep charges from being filed, depending on the details of the case. Call us at 701-969-7860 as soon as possible if you have been charged already. You can also send an email. We offer repeat-client discounts.
