Walker County Criminal Defense Attorney

Walker County Criminal Defense Lawyer Serving Huntsville

Criminal charges should always be taken seriously. Whether an alleged offense is a minor misdemeanor or a felony, a conviction can result in multiple types of consequences, including fines and jail time. Even a seemingly minor sentence, such as probation or court supervision, can leave a person with a permanent criminal record. This may have unexpected effects on a person's life, such as making it more difficult to find a job or a place to live. During a criminal case, a defendant will need to work with an attorney to determine the best ways to protect their rights and avoid a conviction or minimize the potential consequences they may face.

At The Bihm Firm, PLLC, we work to make sure those who are charged with crimes have the legal representation they need. Attorney Kate Bihm is a former prosecutor providing legal help to clients in multiple types of cases. Whether you have been charged with a misdemeanor offense or a serious felony, we can help you determine your options, and we will help you build an effective defense strategy that will allow you to put these issues behind you and move on with your life.

Legal Representation in Many Types of Criminal Cases

We can provide you with representation from the moment you are arrested, ensuring that your rights will be protected in any interactions with police officers or other law enforcement officials. We will make sure you do not inadvertently provide incriminating evidence when answering questions or turning over information. We will help you understand your options while negotiating with prosecutors, including advising you on whether you can reach a plea agreement to have your charges reduced or dismissed. We will advocate on your behalf during court hearings or in a criminal trial, working to help you achieve the best possible results in your case.

We assist with a wide variety of criminal matters, including:

• Drug charges - Offenses involving controlled substances can vary in severity, and the potential consequences will be based on the types of drugs involved and the amount of a substance found in a person's possession. A person may face drug possession charges if illegal substances are found on their person or in their home or vehicle. For larger amounts of drugs, a person may face charges of possession with intent to distribute, which can result in even more serious penalties.
• Record sealing and expungement – A single mistake should not haunt you for the rest of your life. Certain charges that did not result in a conviction may be sealed from public view or expunged altogether. Our team can help you understand what your options are for moving forward.
• Issues related to probation – Navigating the rules and requirements of probation can be difficult. Even an innocent mistake could result in your being sent to jail or prison for a lengthy period of time. Attorney Kate Bihm understands the probation system in Texas and can serve as an effective advocate if you have been accused of violating the terms of your probation.
