At Bolton Law, we know what to expect from the other side. Jill Bolton spent several years as a deputy state prosecutor. She moved from there to spend 13 years as a federal prosecutor. So, whether you have been charged in state of federal court, she and her team knows how to help you.

Both state and federal crimes carry severe penalties. If it is not your first offense, the penalties will likely be enhanced. No matter how minor the charge may seem, nor how serious, you are entitled to due process of law, the right to full disclosure of the government’s evidence, the right to confront and cross-examine witnesses, the right to remain silent and hold the government to their burden of proof, to affirmatively present your own defense, and to a full and fair trial by a jury of your peers.

At Bolton Law, we make certain that all of your constitutional rights are protected. We know when negotiating for reduced charges or penalties is the right thing to do. If taking your case to trial is in your best interest, we have the skills and experience to put on your best defense before a judge or jury.

Some of the specific areas we work in include:

White collar crimes/fraud – A white collar crime is defined as “A crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation.” Allegations against you and your business can end your professional career and damage your reputation beyond repair. Early intervention to prevent charges as soon as you become aware of an investigation is critical.

Drug trafficking and possession – Penalties are severe whether the charges are in state or federal court. Detail oriented review of the government’s evidence and skilled examination of government witnesses is your best defense.

Firearms possession – Many criminal convictions and domestic violence actions can impact your right to possess firearms and ammunition. Possessing a firearm as a prohibited person or in combination with other crimes can result in lengthy sentences.

Driving under the influence – DUI have serious consequences for your driver’s license and incarceration consequences. Hearings to address the administrative impact on your license are critical and must be set quickly. Early intervention with an experienced attorney at Bolton Law is your best defense.

Juvenile Offenses – if your child is facing a juvenile offense, you need trusted experience to ensure your child’s rights are protected and an outcome that promotes their future is best achieved.
