Areas of Criminal Practice

Serious / DRUG CRIMES

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Sometimes you need someone strong on your side to protect you and your family.
If you have been accused of domestic violence, it is crucial to have experienced and respected representation.

DRUG CRIMES

Sometimes bad things happen to good people. If you or someone you love has been charged with a drug crime, you need knowledgeable and aggressive legal representation.

DUIs

When you need a lawyer, you deserve the best. Driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, or drugs is a serious offense with potentially long-term consequences that will affect you and your family.

HOMICIDE

If you are facing a homicide charge, you need attorneys who will protect you, your individual rights, your freedom, and your future.

SEX CRIMES

SEXUAL ASSAULT

If you are facing a sex offense charge, you should seek immediate assistance from Fresno sex crime lawyers. At Nuttall & Coleman, our Fresno sexual assault lawyers and Madera sexual assault lawyers have the experience and legal knowledge you need to establish the best possible defense.

CHILD MOLESTATION

Even accusations of child sexual improprieties could destroy your reputation and generate long-term consequences, but an aggressive child sexual abuse defense can mitigate damage, protect your rights and prevent further legal action.

CHILD PORNOGRAPHY

If charged with child pornography in any of its forms, you want to fight hard. Penalties are severe, possible federal changes apply and you could be convicted just for mailing a package for your boss or a friend.

EXPUNGEMENT

JUVENILE RECORDS

One of the great things about growing up is that we have the ability to redefine ourselves, and move on from the awkward kid or rebellious teenagers we were in our early years.

ADULT ARREST

Because arrests and convictions can have a number of negative effects on someone’s current and future quality of life, one of the most important things an attorney can do for a client is handle the disabilities that arise from an arrest or conviction.

ADULT CONVICTIONS

Those who have convictions and were put on probation can start on the road to a clean slate if they apply to the court for relief under California Penal Code 1203.4 PC, which is the first step for a pardon from the California governor.

PARDONS

Where sealing and expunging records effectively erase the arrest or conviction, someone may still have their rights restricted because of past criminal run-ins with the law.

The gubernatorial pardon has the effect of restoring many of these rights, including the ability to own a firearm in some cases, to serve on a jury trial, and to be considered for appointment as a county probation officer or state parole agent.

FEDERAL / WHITE COLLAR

FEDERAL CRIMES

Attorneys who take on cases involving federal criminal defense in Fresno need to be skilled in many different aspects of the legal system. Our track record shows definitively that our Fresno federal crime lawyers have the qualifications, expertise and courtroom experience to defend complex cases in a court of law.

TAX FRAUD

If you’ve been accused of this crime, you’ll need to contact a Fresno white collar crime lawyer as soon as possible. Whether you’re looking for tax evasion lawyers or tax fraud lawyers the respected firm of Nuttall & Coleman can help.

THEFT AND EMBEZZLEMENT

There are many crimes that might be covered under the heading of theft, fraud and embezzlement. These include identity theft, employee theft, money laundering, felony theft, forgery, counterfeiting and others. If you’ve been accused, you need an attorney who understands the subtle nuances of each type of crime so they can plan the best defense after reviewing all the evidence.

PERSONAL INJURY

PERSONAL INJURY

Have you been injured in a car accident, been harmed by a dangerous product, suffered an injury on someone else’s property, or been injured in another way that has negatively affected your lifestyle and finances?
