AGGRAVATED BATTERY
This charge occurs when a person knowingly causes bodily harm, permanent disability, or disfigurement to another individual.
ORDINANCE VIOLATION
Local governments can issue charges for violating ordinances or laws. We defend these cases the same as state charges.
JUVENILE CRIME
We defend juvenile cases the same way as adult cases. You need an experienced team of criminal defense attorneys that will aggressively defend your minor in the court system.
VIOLATION OF PROBATION
Disobeying or violating your probation terms, not completing a requirement, or testing positive for an illegal substance can result in a new offense. It may also result in a revocation hearing in which you may be sentenced to incarceration. You need an experienced attorney to defend you and mitigate your consequences vigorously.
Justice should be blind, but it rarely is. Unfortunately, the criminal justice system can fall short, especially for those under investigation for a crime. It can be influenced by the bias of law enforcement, swayed by false assumptions, or wavered by iffy testimonies from witnesses. The consequences can be devastating for the defendant.
At Scott W. Sheen & Associates, we provide sophisticated and aggressive representation to ensure our clients’ voices are heard. We care about our clients, and our attorneys are fully committed to achieving successful outcomes.
