Criminal Defense 40%

We handle mainly misdemeanors, violations of probation, and some felonies. We believe that preparation is really the key to producing the greatest possibility of a favorable outcome. It is important that the client be involved in the process as he or she was usually present when the events leading to the accusation occurred and can provide the attorney with valuable insight. It is also critical that the attorney listen to the client and witnesses and be receptive to "thinking outside the box"

Recommended 100%

When you have a criminal problem, Ernest Mullins is the best alternative for your defense. His experience, temper, humor, and excellent communication with his client and court staff will keep you calm and upbeat throughout the legal process. His paralegal, Eddie Daniel, is a wonderful resource for ...his team. Her organization, cordiality, and kindness strengthen attorney Mullins. Thank you for assisting me and my family in difficult times.

GREAT ATTORNEY!!!!

I would recommend Mr. Mullins if you are ever in need of legal advice. With his extensive knowledge of the law and his vast experience within the Justice System, he was able to bring our case to a swift and successful conclusion.

Great Attorney, Great Results, Awesome Staff

When my son got in trouble as a juvenile he knew exactly how to handle his issue. As a mom I was nervous as to what was going to happen, but he eased all of my concerns and got us great results. The office staff went above and beyond, they were always knowledgeable and ready to assist when we called.... If you need a criminal attorney hes the one you need on your side!!!!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"One day I was at some fall festival, the kind with bratwurst and beer--and I'm enjoying this bagpipe crew. Sure enough, Ernie was their faithful leader! His rendition of Amazing Grace brought me to tears--seriously. Have you heard Amazing Grace on pipes? And, of course, his legal skills are even better than his bagpipe skills. If you don't hire me for your criminal case, please hire Ernie."
