My practice is dedicated to federal and state criminal defense. Contact me at Charles M. Harris, P.A., if you have been accused of a state or federal drug crime, DUI drunk driving, or a white collar crime.

DRUNK DRIVING AND DRUG CHARGES CAN COST YOU YOUR CAR, YOUR HOUSE, AND YOUR FREEDOM
If you have been charged with possession, sale, distribution or trafficking in drugs, I will be a tough advocate on your behalf.  If you were arrested for possession of marijuana, methamphetamine, crack, or other drugs, or for manufacturing meth, contact me. Arrests for DWI or DUI or license revocation cases are also part of my criminal defense practice.

WHITE COLLAR CRIME CHARGES CAN RUIN YOUR REPUTATION
White collar crimes are non-violent, money-related fraud crimes. Some crimes included in this category are identity theft, computer or internet fraud, credit card fraud, bankruptcy fraud, securities fraud, and mail fraud. If there is a conviction, the penalties are severe. You may lose everything you own, as well as fines, home detention, supervised release, public humiliation and prison time.

I can help you with your struggle to avoid these punishments and clear your name and reputation. If you were entrapped, I will find out and work hard to prove it in court. I have the experience and knowledge that will see you through to the end. Call me and I will stand by your side and help you find the best resolution to your case.

"It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much." --Yogi Berra

WITNESS PREPARATION IS IMPORTANT TO YOUR CASE
When I prepare a witness, I am not helping him "rehearse" an answer. I am helping the person understand his role in court. I help the witness to understand what to expect and how to respond. Most people have never given a deposition or testified in court, and do not know the rules. They may not realize that a deposition is a sworn statement that can be used in court, or may be used against them later in cross-examination.

It is especially important to understand that the witness should listen to the entire question before answering, wait to have any objections resolved, and then not volunteer additional information. There are many other aspects to witness preparation which we can discuss if you call me. I am very experienced with preparing a witness to appear in court.
