Jeffery Higgins

Criminal defense is the SOLE focus of my practice. I have led dozens of criminal trials (including death penalty), and will take a case to trial if that is what it takes to get the best outcome for my client. Furthermore, I am a responsive and helpful attorney who understands the importance of providing the right kind of help when people make mistakes. I also work tirelessly to assure that my clients understand the criminal process and have a chance to fully recover once the case is over.

ANYONE can be charged with DUI. It usually results from a mistake or error in judgment on the part of the driver. Fortunately, the police also make mistakes in these cases & those mistakes can be used in a driver's defense. I am a creative attorney who is trained and experienced at finding these mistakes, and making sure that they help my clients get the best outcomes possible in their DUI cases.

Domestic violence cases can be very emotional for both a client and an alleged victim. They are difficult for police to properly investigate, and can be difficult for prosecutors to prove to a jury. My defense of your domestic violence charge will involve a combination of strong advocacy exposing shortcomings in the evidence in court, along with a diplomatic approach that can help put the emotions aside and reach the best outcome for all concerned.

Violent crimes can be subject to very serious penalties. In my career I have defended all types of violent crimes from simple assaults, to crimes involving weapons, and multiple homicides. If you are charged with a violent crime, I will make sure you receive a vigorous defense- exposing police mistakes, witness prejudices, and prosecutorial errors - to hold the State to its burden, make sure you are treated fairly, and get you through the case as quickly and painlessly as possible.
