| Unlike personal injury cases, which are civil lawsuits brought by one
individual against another to recover damages and compensation, criminal
cases are brought by local authorities, the police, the state or federal
government for activities in violation of criminal laws.
Crimes vary from lesser charges such as misdemeanors to felonies which
are more serious crimes. Both felonies and misdemeanors are prosecuted
in state and federal courts, depending on which court has jurisdiction
over the type of alleged offense.
At the Watson Law Firm, our attorneys represent individuals who find
themselves on the wrong side of the law under allegation of criminal charges
for both misdemeanors and felonies. While we represent clients in any type
of felony or misdemeanor, some criminal charges are more common and include
the following:
DUI/DWI
Drug crimes
Juvenile crimes
Traffic violations
Car wrecks
Motor vehicle accidents
Careless Driving
|
-
Possession
-
Speeding and other minor violations
-
Reckless Driving
-
Prohibited Driving
-
License Suspension
-
Failure to Appear
-
Non-Payment of Fines or Court Costs

.
If you have been pulled over for a DUI (driving under the influence)
or DWI (driving while intoxicated), it is vital to contact an experienced
DUI/DWI lawyer as soon as possible. You may face jail, fines, license suspension
and other penalties, and a fourth DWI offense in Arkansas increases from
a misdemeanor to a felony, with a one to six-year sentence in the penitentiary.
Our attorneys are knowledgeable in DUI laws and can make a considerable
difference in the outcome of a case, in some cases achieving reduced sentencing
or dismissal.
Personalized attention and easy accessibility
are the hallmark of our practice.
