What We Offer
Misdemeanor Charges
Misdemeanors can include offenses such as DUI, simple assault, theft, and drug possession. Although less serious than felonies, misdemeanor convictions can still carry jail time, fines, and lasting consequences. Tate Law provides defense focused on protecting your rights and pursuing the best possible outcome.
Felony Charges
Felony allegations carry the most serious potential penalties, including significant prison time and long-term consequences. Tate Law represents individuals charged with felony offenses by carefully reviewing the evidence, identifying legal issues, and building a defense strategy tailored to the circumstances of the case.
Warrants and Orders to Show Cause
Active warrants and orders to show cause can result in arrest or additional court penalties if not addressed promptly. Tate Law assists clients in resolving warrants, appearing before the court, and addressing compliance issues so that matters can be brought back before the judge and resolved properly.
