Criminal Justice

Protect your rights, a skilled advocate in your corner can make all the difference.

When it comes to criminal charges, you want to hire a zealous defense lawyer who will advocate for your rights every step of the way. Risking your freedom or driving privileges is just not worth it, let alone the stress of the situation on you and your family. A skilled attorney will help you successfully challenge the method of policing and aggressively challenging any unlawfully obtained evidence. This often leads to having criminal charges dismissed or reduced. You want them to fight to obtain you the best possible outcome for you and your family. Your case may qualify for an alternate disposition rather than trial and we can explore that outcome if worthwhile. Attorney Higgins will ensure every possible alternative is explored but is willing to take your case to trial if the circumstances warrant. If you have been charged or are the subject of a criminal investigation, learn your rights. Beginning his criminal defense career with the Committee for Public Counsel Services as a Bar Advocate, Attorney Higgins learned firsthand the necessity of being proactive from start to finish in the criminal courts and how to address the nuances of each unique matter of his clients, while challenging the strength of the Government's evidence at each opportunity available.
