Criminal

The criminal attorneys at Miner &, Lemon, LLP have vast experience in all areas of criminal law. Mr. Miner is a former Prosecuting Attorney for Kosciusko County, Indiana. Mr. Smith worked as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for both St. Joseph County and Kosciusko County, Indiana before going into private practice. Mr. Garza is also a former Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for Kosciusko County, Indiana.

Our attorneys have successfully prosecuted and defended cases such as:

Murder,
Rape,
Assault with a Deadly Weapon,
Attempted Murder, Bank Robbery, Arson,
Child Molesting,

As well as many lesser charged crimes such as:

Assault and Battery,
Criminal Mischief and
Operating While Intoxicated

Our attorneys have a large network of experts, investigators and contacts within the criminal system to evaluate your case as thoroughly as possible.   We can sit down with you and explain the system from beginning to end and will be frank and honest with your options.

Mr. Smith and Mr. Garza attend frequent seminars and symposiums on Operating While Intoxicated, and are Certified in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing.    They recently hosted a presentation on Operating While Intoxicated and the Role of the Private Investigator which was led by renowned investigators, Kevin McClain and Marty Perkins of McClain Investigations.

Each criminal case is unique to others.   No two fact situations are the same.   There is much more to criminal defense than the facts and/or circumstances that may appear at the time of arrest or the filing of charges.    Many times there are underlying issues that may provide a defense that are not readily apparent on the face of the case. Our attorneys, and their staff of paralegals, are highly skilled in the art of investigation, research, witness preparation and trial technique.     Our criminal team stands ready and willing to help you with your case.

Scott Smith is a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the National College for DUI Defense. For more information about the National College of DUI Defense, see their website at www.ncdd.com
