The HCH team, ready to serve you
Being accused of a crime is one of the most stressful experiences a person can face. Whether it's a misdemeanor or a felony, your rights and freedom are on the line. That’s why working with a skilled criminal defense attorney is so important. At Hendrick, Casey, & Hutter Attorneys at Law, we focus on providing personalized and aggressive legal defense for individuals across Oklahoma.
But what exactly does a criminal defense attorney do?
Legal Advice from Day One
Even before formal charges are filed, your attorney can provide vital legal guidance. If you've been questioned or arrested, speaking with an attorney immediately helps you avoid mistakes that could hurt your case. Our team helps clients understand their rights and what steps to take from the very beginning.
Case Investigation
A defense attorney will examine every detail of your case. This includes gathering police reports, interviewing witnesses, reviewing surveillance footage, and identifying flaws in the prosecution’s case. We often find details that others overlook, details that can make or break a case.
Building a Strong Defense
Based on the facts, we’ll build a customized defense strategy. Whether the best path is negotiating a plea deal or fighting the charges at trial, we ensure that our clients are aware of all their options. Our goal is always to minimize penalties, protect reputations, and achieve the best possible outcome.
Court Representation
When it comes time to appear in court, your attorney speaks on your behalf, challenges the prosecution, and defends your rights. We understand how to work within Oklahoma’s legal system to protect our clients at every stage of the process.
Support Through the Process
The criminal justice system can be intimidating. Our attorneys not only provide strong legal defense but also walk with our clients through every hearing, filing, and deadline.
