You Need a Criminal Defense Lawyer On Your Side

So many things may depend on the outcome of your case: your freedom, your opportunities for promotions, your security clearance status. If you serve in the military or have a teaching certificate, nursing license, or similar professional certification, an arrest alone can result in further investigation and potential discipline by your licensing board. You need a criminal defense lawyer looking at the big picture, fighting for the protection of your legal rights alongside other professionals trying to get you the best results possible.

Some clients are eager to clear their name; they look forward to their opportunity to testify at a jury trial. Others are terrified of speaking in public, or they just want the quickest resolution possible. Either way, Valerie Prevatte can help you favorably resolve your case by pushing the case to trial or by negotiating an outcome to your satisfaction.

Valerie Prevatte handles a wide variety of criminal matters, including "quasi-criminal" situations that often arise in the context of a divorce such as petitions for domestic violence injunctions or restraining orders. She also provides representation in investigation phases of State and Federal interrogations; Marsy’s Law representation of victims in misdemeanor and felony offenses; advisory opinions for proposed courses of action; and criminal history record expungements.
