Criminal Defense

Attorneys Assisting Clients in the UNCC Area and Throughout Charlotte,

If you have been charged with a crime, no matter how minor it may seem, you should speak with a lawyer. If there is any possibility of jail time, you need a criminal defense lawyer on your side who will either fight the charge in court or work hard to get the charges reduced and take a prison sentence off the table.

Even if your charge cannot involve jail time, a conviction may come back to haunt you later in life. Say you were convicted of trespassing. Later, a potential employer may look at your criminal record and assume that the conviction was actually a burglary that was reduced to a trespassing charge.

The criminal defense attorneys of Douglas K. Simmons and Associates, PLLC can meet with you and discuss your options. We provide close, attentive service to all clients, tailoring solutions that best fit their needs. From law offices in the University area near UNCC, we help people charged throughout Charlotte, including Mecklenburg County and Cabarrus County.

Our practice includes all manner of misdemeanors, including:

  • DUI / DWI
  • Traffic violations
  • Minor drug offenses: possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia
  • Shoplifting
  • Assault and battery
  • Communicating threats

Our lawyers can help you understand North Carolina criminal law and how it pertains to your case. For example, if you have been charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, it is important to know that this is a more serious charge than many possession charges. The idea is that paraphernalia could be used for more serious drugs, such as cocaine. Cocaine use is a felony, while marijuana possession is only a misdemeanor.
