Shepherdsville Criminal Defense Attorney

Lady Justice - Shepherdsville Criminal Defense Attorney

Defending and Protecting Your Rights in Criminal Charges, DUI, Drug Crimes in Jefferson, Bullitt, Hardin, Spencer, Shelby, and Oldham Counties in Kentucky

My name is John Schmidt, and after more than 25 years of experience as a Shepherdsville criminal defense attorney, I help those who are under investigation, sought by the police for questioning, detained, or charged with a criminal offense in Shepherdsville, Mount Washington, Shelbyville, Taylorsville, Radcliff, Elizabethtown, Jeffersontown, or Louisville, Kentucky.

The first and most important thing every American should clearly understand is the right to remain silent and speak with an attorney.  You are not required to answer any request by the police to come in for an interview or “just to talk.”  It doesn’t matter if they have a few questions.  You have rights, and the best thing one can do is politely refuse to talk to law enforcement, provide information, or answer questions and ask to speak with your attorney.  Pick up the phone and call me at (502) 509-1490 and courteously but consistently remain silent until we have a chance to speak.

This isn’t just your right.  This is what is in your best interests.

As a Shepherdsville criminal defense attorney with decades of experience working with local law enforcement and prosecutors, I can help with any criminal charges or legal issues associated with DUI, drug crimes, including drug possession and paraphernalia, drug trafficking, theft crimes including shoplifting or theft by taking or deception, assault, domestic violence, or crimes involving a weapon or “deadly instrument.”

I am able to achieve a better outcome for my clients than they will achieve on their own.  Just ask the U.S. Justice Department.  A recent Justice Department study shows you are significantly less likely to face incarceration and heavy consequences associated with any criminal offense when you are represented by a lawyer.  This is why it is important to contact an experienced Shepherdsville criminal defense attorney at the Law Offices of John Schmidt & Associates if you are contacted by police, detained, arrested, or charged with a criminal offense in Kentucky.

I can help reduce the actual charges and/or consequences you face or seek an outright dismissal of your case.  As your criminal defense attorney, I will investigate the actions of law enforcement, evidence technicians, the testimony of witnesses, the theories of the prosecution, and the weaknesses of the case against you in order to achieve a much better outcome than you can or will on your own.

We invite you to contact us via e-mail, schedule an appointment or call us today at (502) 509-1490 to get the advice and aggressive criminal defense you need and deserve.  At the Law Offices of John Schmidt & Associates we bring more than 25 years of experience to your side of the equation, manage the situation you face and the allegations against you, and work hard to achieve a much better outcome in your case than you can or will accomplish on your own.
