Criminal Defense
When you’re facing a criminal charge, everything feels uncertain — your job, your reputation, even your future. At Haupt Law Group, we understand that a criminal case isn’t just about the legal system; it’s about your life.
Our goal is to guide you through the process, protect your rights, and fight for the best possible outcome at every step.
Your Defense Begins with Understanding
Every case is unique, and every client deserves more than a quick plea or rushed advice. We take the time to understand your situation, explain your options, and build a defense that fits your specific facts and goals.
From the first meeting, you’ll know where your case stands, what comes next, and how we’ll move forward together.
Areas of Defense
DUI & Drug Offenses
Being charged with DUI or drug possession can have serious consequences — license suspension, fines, even jail time. We look closely at the stop, search, and testing procedures to identify errors or violations of your rights. A mistake by law enforcement should never cost you your freedom.
Assault & Domestic Violence
Arguments and misunderstandings can quickly turn into criminal charges. We help clients navigate assault and domestic violence accusations, protective orders, and cases involving family or partners. Our focus is on protecting your rights and helping you move forward.
Theft & Property Crimes
Shoplifting, theft, or vandalism charges can follow you for years if not handled correctly. We work to reduce or dismiss charges, negotiate fair outcomes, and protect your record whenever possible.
Probation Violations
If you’ve been accused of violating probation, you still have options. We act quickly to challenge violations and show the court that you deserve a second chance.
Expungements & Record Clearing
A criminal record can affect jobs, housing, and more. In many cases, old charges can be expunged or sealed. We’ll review your history and help you take steps to clean your record so you can move forward with confidence.
