Sexual Offenses

How will your future job prospects be affected if you end up with a permanent record? What steps can you take to protect your future?

White Collar Crime
As soon as you become the target of a white collar crime investigation, or if you are labeled a so called “person of interest,” it is important to assure that your rights are being protected, and that you obtain legal advice immediately. The attorneys at Tavss Fletcher will be there to assist you throughout the investigation, and if you are formally charged and prosecuted, will be prepared to provide you with the strongest defense possible.

If you have been accused of a white collar crime or if you’re being investigated for one, please contact Tavss Fletcher immediately to discuss your best course of action.
Weapons Charges
Many weapons charges carry mandatory minimum sentences. This means that a conviction, even of a first time offender, will result in an active jail sentence. If you own a gun, make sure that you learn when, where and how you may legally carry your firearm, and if you do get in trouble, call the lawyers at Tavss Fletcher before trying to go it alone. The consequences of not hiring a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney if you have a weapons charge could severely impact the rest of your life.
Weapons charges can take many forms, including carrying a concealed weapon like a handgun, knife, or even a box cutter, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, use of a firearm in the commission of certain crimes, and possession of a firearm while in possession of drugs. If you or someone close to you is charged with a weapons offense, take it seriously and call the experienced attorneys at Tavss Fletcher.
Traffic Offenses
Many are surprised to learn that some traffic violations are in fact criminal offenses. Traffic offenses carry not only fines, but also can result in revocation of your license, or even jail time. If you’ve been accused of a traffic offense, prompt action is important to determine what the potential consequences of a conviction are, and whether a criminal defense attorney can help you.
Some of the more serious traffic offenses include, reckless driving, driving on a revoked or suspended license, drag racing, eluding a police officer, driving under the influence (DUI), underage drinking and driving, leaving the scene of an accident (hit and run) and failure to appear in court for any of the above offenses. Don’t face a traffic offense charge alone—contact Tavss Fletcher today to put its criminal defense experience to work for you.
Juvenile Offenses
Juvenile crimes can begin as a foolish teenage prank or dare that spirals out of control and ends up with criminal charges that can impact the rest of a child’s life. If your child has been charged with a juvenile crime, hiring the right criminal defense attorney can make all the difference. The lawyers at Tavss Fletcher will work with you and your child to avoid a conviction if possible, and if not, to help ensure a result which gives your child the best chance for a successful future.
