Criminal Defense

Attorneys defending individuals facing criminal charges, from misdemeanors to felonies.

Criminal defense covers representation for individuals facing charges ranging from traffic-related misdemeanors to serious felonies. Firms in this practice area work to protect a client’s constitutional rights at every stage, from arrest and arraignment through negotiation, trial, and — where appropriate — post-conviction relief such as expungement.

Juris Asensio is expanding beyond its founding personal injury network into additional practice areas, including criminal defense, so that consumers can find established firms across a broader range of legal needs.
