Criminal Defense

The criminal defense practice of the Armstrong Law Offices is limited to misdemeanor charges and preliminary hearings on felony charges.  Representation on larger issues must be handled by an attorney who practices in the area on a daily basis.  Our practice has traditionally been limited to the suburban municipal courts such as Berea, Parma, Lakewood, and Rocky River.

Criminal defense matters are handled on a flat fee basis from initial consultation through plea negotiations.  An additional trial retainer is required if the matter will be tried before the bench or jury.

When facing criminal charges, it is important to retain an attorney immediately.  Please contact Armstrong Law Offices to discuss your charges or ask the municipal court about your eligibility for appointed counsel if you feel you may qualify for that service.
