Fighting Criminal Charges in Russell County & South Central Kentucky
When you are facing criminal charges, it can be hard to know what to do. Should you plead guilty? Accept the prosecutor's deal? Try your case in court?
Everything from the type of charges filed against you to the prosecutor assigned to your case to your personal history can impact the outcome of your case. At Bertram & Wilson, our Kentucky criminal defense attorneys will give you straightforward legal advice and help you make informed decisions.
Experienced Defense
Our two founding lawyers — Robert Bertram and M. Gail Wilson — have served as prosecuting Commonwealth Attorneys. We have experience on both sides of criminal cases and have insight into how the prosecution will prepare a case against you.
We will aggressively protect your rights against misdemeanor and felony charges, including:
- Drunk driving (DUI)
- Drug possession, trafficking and manufacturing
- Assault and battery
- Murder
Do not speak to investigators without knowing your rights. We will give you an honest assessment of the penalties you could face and the options you have.
Focused on What Is Best for You
Criminal charges may put your future in jeopardy, especially if you already have a record. If you are convicted or plead guilty, not only do you face jail time, but you may lose your voting rights, the right to carry a firearm and your right to drive.
We will protect your rights.
We never recommend pleading guilty or accepting a deal if it is not truly in our clients' best interests. By the same token, we will never push you to go to trial if we do not think it will benefit you.
Our priority is always doing what is best for you. Call 270-343-3100 or contact us online to schedule a free criminal defense consultation at our Jamestown office. We will meet with you at the jail if necessary.
