Are you searching for a criminal defense attorney in Shepherdsville Kentucky or near Louisville? My name is John Schmidt, and after more than 25 years as an attorney serving Jefferson, Bullitt, Hardin, Spencer, Shelby, and Oldham counties I can tell you two things for certain:
- You have the right to remain silent. Use it. Remain Silent. Tell them you want to talk to your attorney, and call me at 502-509-1490.
- You will achieve a much better result when defended by our experienced criminal defense attorney than if you attempt to represent yourself. Extensive studies here in Kentucky and by the U.S. Department of Justice prove you are much less likely to serve time, and your sentences and other consequences will be significantly lessened when represented by an experienced lawyer instead of representing yourself.
Who does a criminal defense attorney in Shepherdsville and Bullitt County represent? The short answer is anyone who is charged with a crime in Kentucky, and those who have been contacted by the police for questioning. If the police ask to speak with you, politely decline. Don’t let them coax you into it. Keep a calm demeanor, and just say “no thank you, excuse me,” and close the door or hang up.
If you are in custody, calmly say “I invoke my right to remain silent, and I want to call my attorney,” and call us at 502-509-1490. We can and will help.
We represent those who are accused of any criminal offense here in Kentucky, including but not limited to:
Assault – the imminent credible threat of an attack or a physical confrontation resulting in injury including the use of a weapon or “dangerous instrument.” These types of charges may also include menacing, harassment, or even terrorism.

The penalties for DUI are quite severe and there is a lot I can do for you to reduce the consequences you face and protect your rights and privileges.
