Criminal Defense

If you have been arrested or charged with a crime, having the right representation matters. The consequences in the area of criminal law are unparalleled to any other. The Payne Firm is committed to working closely with each client to ensure that they are knowledgeable of the process and well-informed of their options.

Over 90% of all criminal defense matters are resolved without a trial. However, if a trial is beneficial to your case, we have the experience, knowledge, and perseverance to represent you at that level. Until the declaration of ready for trial occurs, we make use of the many pre-trial avenues available to us to obtain an outright dismissal or a favorable agreement.
