Criminal Law

Have You OR A LOVED ONE Been Accused of a Crime?

If someone has accused you of a crime, you must protect yourself. The first step is to have experienced, aggressive attorneys working at your side.

"Innocent until proven guilty." Many people are arrested for crimes they did not commit. The law requires the government to prove they are guilty beyond and to the exclusion of all reasonable doubt.

If you or a loved one have been accused of a crime, that statement may be hard to believe because it doesn’t feel that way. You probably feel scared, devastated, angry and clueless about how to protect your rights. It feels like you have to prove your innocence. As former prosecutors who now represent the accused, the attorneys at Collins, Maynard & Associates, P.L. know how both sides of the system work and are therefore exceptionally qualified to handle your case.

Ask yourself the following questions:

A practiced and effective criminal defense attorney can mean the difference between a prison sentence and reduced or dismissed charges. Even in less serious cases, a good criminal defense attorney can make a serious impact on the outcome of the case by ensuring that the rights of the accused are protected throughout the legal process. A criminal conviction can change your life. That is why it is vital to select the most competent, knowledgeable and effective attorney available.
