CRIMINAL DEFENSE and OPERATING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (OUI)

At Lanham & Blackwell, P.A., we have experienced criminal defense attorneys to represent people who have been charged with all types of offenses, including civil infractions, misdemeanor criminal offenses, such as operating a motor vehicle under the influence (OUI), and more serious felony charges.

If you, or someone you know, has been charged with a criminal offense, you will almost certainly need legal representation. We recommend early representation so you can be counseled about:

Your constitutional rights,
Understanding of the full nature of the criminal charges placed against you,
Available legal strategies and defenses,
The possible and probable penalties that you face if convicted,
What to expect during all phases of the criminal prosecution,
In some cases, what actions you can take to mitigate the penalties, how to evaluate plea-offers, how to get treatment for substance abuse or anger-related problems, and
Frequently, to talk with an understanding and knowledgeable listener to help you cope with the "unknowns" and fear and stress of criminal prosecution.

Successful criminal defense requires knowledge, experience, some intuition, and a lot of plain, hard work. . . and if you’re the person being accused, you cannot afford second-best representation or have a lawyer that cannot give you all of these commitments.

The lawyers at Lanham & Blackwell, P.A., have a combined legal experience of over 80 years --- some experience and insight as criminal prosecutors and a lot of experience successfully defending persons accused of crimes. We have the distinction of being an AV-rated law firm, and have successfully defended accused persons in the full scope of criminal cases in both federal and state courts. If you have already been convicted of a criminal charge, we have lawyers that are experienced in appeals and other post-conviction relief --- experience that includes arguing cases before the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and the United States Supreme Court.
