Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney At Your Side
When you have been charged with a crime, whether it is at the state or federal level, it can feel overwhelming and you may not know where to turn. The important thing to remember is that you have rights, and a good criminal defense lawyer can help you protect those rights and provide the guidance you need along the way.
I am Jeffrey Everhart, and I have been a champion for people – shepherding them as they face an intimidating criminal justice system – since 1982. I am prepared to put my skills and experience to minimizing potentially harsh penalties or wrong outcomes, especially in the case where law enforcement has overreached its lawful boundaries. I will guide you through the process, help you understand how it works and what you can expect. Because many cases are subject to pretrial conferences, I can also keep you up to date on what the other side is doing.

Building A Dedicated Defense Against All Criminal Charges
There is not a case that I am unwilling to take on. I have handled over a hundred murder cases, including dozens of cases involving capital murder charges. I also defend against somewhat less serious criminal charges, including drug charges, DWI and other violent crimes. I can represent you in state and federal courts.
Make no mistake, every criminal charge, felony or misdemeanor, carries significant potential consequences and can follow you for the rest of your life. That is why it is important to have experienced legal counsel in your corner.
