Facing Charges? We Make It Right
A criminal charge can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. At KentorLaw, we stand by your side from the moment you retain us — protecting your rights, challenging the prosecution’s evidence, and building a strategic defense tailored to the unique facts of your case.
Immediate Protection
Assert your right to remain silent. We ensure law enforcement respects your constitutional rights at every stage.
Strategic Defense
Every case has a story. We identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s evidence and craft a powerful defense narrative.
Trial Experience
When a plea deal is not in your best interest, our seasoned trial attorneys are ready and prepared to fight for you in the courtroom.
Types of Criminal Defense Cases
From misdemeanors to serious felonies, our firm has the breadth of experience to handle virtually every type of criminal charge.
DUI / DWI
Driving under the influence charges carry severe penalties. We challenge field sobriety tests, breathalyzer calibration, and unlawful stops to get charges reduced or dismissed.
Drug Crimes
Possession, distribution, manufacturing, and trafficking charges at both state and federal levels. We explore treatment alternatives and diversion programs.
White-Collar Crime
Fraud, embezzlement, insider trading, identity theft, and other financial crimes. Our team works with forensic accountants to build your defense.
Violent Crimes
Assault, battery, robbery, domestic violence, and homicide. We conduct independent investigations to uncover evidence that supports your innocence or mitigation.
Traffic Violations
Speeding tickets, reckless driving, license suspension hearings, and hit-and-run. Protect your driving record and avoid higher insurance rates.
Juvenile Defense
Minors facing criminal charges need specialized representation focused on rehabilitation, education, and avoiding a permanent record that can harm their future.
Expungement
A criminal record can follow you for life. We help eligible clients seal or expunge their records to open doors for employment, housing, and education.
Appeals
If you were wrongly convicted, our appellate attorneys review trial records for errors of law and fight for a reversal of your conviction or sentence.
Restraining Orders
Protective orders, no-contact orders, and orders of protection. We represent both petitioners and respondents in these sensitive matters.
How We Handle Your Defense
From your first call to the final resolution, here’s what you can expect when you trust KentorLaw with your criminal defense case.
Case Evaluation
We review the charges, the evidence, and the police report to identify weaknesses and develop an initial defense strategy at no cost to you.
Pre-Trial Motion Practice
We file suppression motions, challenge unlawful searches and seizures, and fight to exclude inadmissible evidence before trial.
Strategic Negotiation
Where appropriate, we negotiate with prosecutors for charge reductions, diversion programs, or favorable plea agreements that serve your best interests.
Aggressive Trial Advocacy
If the prosecution refuses a fair offer, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial before a judge or jury and fight for a complete acquittal.
What Defense Outcomes Can We Pursue?
Every criminal case is unique. We work tirelessly to achieve the best possible result based on the facts and the law.
Case Dismissal
When the prosecution lacks sufficient evidence or your constitutional rights were violated, we move to have all charges dismissed entirely before trial.
Charge Reduction
We negotiate with prosecutors to reduce felony charges to misdemeanors, minimizing the long-term impact on your record and your life.
Not Guilty Verdict
When the state cannot prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, we fight for a full acquittal at trial — clearing your name completely.
Alternative Sentencing
For eligible clients, we pursue diversion programs, drug treatment courts, probation, and other alternatives to incarceration.
Expungement & Sealing
After your case resolves, we help clear your record so past charges don’t haunt your employment, housing, or educational opportunities.
Appeal / Post-Conviction
If you were wrongly convicted or received an excessive sentence, we pursue every available appellate and post-conviction remedy on your behalf.
