Winston-Salem Criminal Defense Law Firm
Hartsoe & Associates, P.C., offers criminal defense representation to individuals accused of misdemeanor crimes and traffic violations. We represent both adults and minors, and we are admitted to practice law in both the state and federal criminal courts of North Carolina.
At Hartsoe & Associates, our criminal defense lawyers do not believe in sugarcoating the truth. We explain our clients' rights during the criminal justice proceedings, and we provide advice about the most likely outcome of their case. If a plea bargain is best, that is what you will hear. If a trial is best, we're ready to go.
Criminal Defense Lawyers Who Understand Risk Analysis
Even a misdemeanor criminal charge or a traffic violation can carry serious consequences — including fines and the possibility of jail time. It's hard to make a smart decision about how to respond to traffic violations or misdemeanor criminal charges without understanding the risks and possible penalties involved.
Our criminal defense lawyers have detailed conversations with clients about the advantages and disadvantages of choosing a certain response to criminal traffic violations or other criminal charges.
For example, in some cases it's practical to negotiate a satisfactory plea agreement for a client. Sometimes, a reduction in the charge from a felony to a misdemeanor is the best possible result. Other times, a criminal trial may be a client's best option. Our criminal defense lawyers have the aggressive trial and negotiation skills necessary to fight for the best possible outcome — every time.
"If you're guilty, you're guilty — but we're going to get you the best compromise deal we can. If you're innocent, then we'll fight tooth and nail for a dismissal or acquittal."
