A Skilled Defender Against Criminal Charges

Any conviction of criminal charges can cause consequences that affect your life for years to come. In addition to legal consequences of fines, jail or prison time, or community service, you may experience collateral consequences like difficulty securing or keeping a job, trouble finding a place to live or complications while seeking college loans.

At Joel Hand Law, I know what is at stake in any criminal charges, which is why I do everything in my power to defend my clients. I have been practicing law for more than 25 years, and have experience as a prosecutor and defense attorney. I know how to build a case against any criminal charges, no matter how complex they may seem.

Developing A Defense Against Your Charges

When you are looking for a criminal defense attorney, you want to be sure the lawyer you choose is capable of defending your needs. I can help you overcome charges of all areas of crime and related legal issues, including:

• Traffic violations – Traffic tickets, driving while suspended, habitual traffic violators, specialized driving privileges (hardship licenses), failure to stop (hit and run), reckless driving, school zone violations, sobriety checkpoints, speeding
• Violent crimes and gun crimes – Murder, arson, battery, domestic battery, robbery or weapons charges
• Drug and alcohol offenses – Dealing drugs, possession of cocaine, heroin, meth, prescription drugs, opioids, marijuana, synthetic marijuana (Delta 8), schedule 1, 2 and 3 drugs, OVWI (Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated), OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) and drugged driving
• Other offenses – Invasion of privacy, juvenile offenses, theft or trespassing

I also assist clients involving criminal law matters like conversion, expungements, Garrety interviews, invasion of privacy orders, probation violations, and community corrections violations.

I have made a name for myself in Indiana through my reputation for success and commitment to my clients. I am driven to explore all possible avenues of pursuing the optimal outcome in these cases, whether it is by beating, dismissing or reducing the charges.
