Defending Alabama Clients Against Criminal Charges
Facing criminal charges can be frightening. Not knowing what to expect from the legal system is even worse. If you are facing criminal charges, it is important to work with a lawyer who will give you an honest assessment of your situation and the possible consequences you could be facing.
I am John F. Brasfield, Attorney at Law, and I defend clients throughout Tuscaloosa and West Central Alabama who are facing criminal charges. With over 17 years of legal experience, I can give my clients an overview of their situation, their possible options and the possible ramifications of each choice. Please contact me to schedule an appointment with an experienced criminal defense attorney.
If there is a good chance my clients will go to jail, I tell them that. However, I also work with them to get the best possible result for their situation. Although jail time may be inevitable, I can help clients get reduced sentences or earlier options for parole, if possible.
Understanding Criminal Charges
When clients contact me, one of the first things I do is make sure I have a good understanding of their situation. I learn the facts of the case and prepare you for the next steps of the process. I work with clients whose criminal charges include:
- Driving under the influence (DUI)
- Drug crimes, including sale and possession of marijuana, meth and crack cocaine
- Property crimes, including theft, vandalism and disorderly conduct
- Crimes against people, including assault and murder
- Traffic crimes, including speeding
Many of the clients I work with who are facing charges for a DUI or drug possession have a history of substance abuse. When I work with them, I am committed not only to helping them resolve their legal issues, but also to helping them find the help they need. I work with clients to find good treatment.
