Criminal Defense
When you, or a loved one, find oneself dealing with criminal prosecution, there is no room for error. Do not assume you know and understand the intricacies of the law based on something you read online or saw on a TV show.
Whether you are facing juvenile crimes, drug related crimes, domestic crimes, or any other criminal action, compassionate and aggressive legal support could make the difference between incarceration, innocence, expungement, or any point in between.

DUI/BUI Defense
Despite the many avenues of getting home after a night out on the town, few of us take advantage of these and make the mistake of getting behind the wheel. Getting pulled over for DUI/DWI can have far reaching effects on your life.
Attempting to handle incarceration on your own could be your second mistake. The intricacies of the legal wrangling in a DUI/DWI case are difficult for most to understand and navigate without the aid of experienced legal counsel.

Personal Injury
When you've been injured, and the deck appears stacked against you, a dedicated personal injury attorney will ensure that you have someone on your side who can navigate the legal system and protect your rights.
Insurance companies that protect business and vehicle owners from Personal Injury claims do not get wealthy by looking out for the injured.
Your Personal Injury Attorney is there to level the playing field, and to protect your rights to medical treatment, and fair compensation for your injuries.

Case Study: Because legal issues rarely stand their own
A client of ours, a retired Air Force officer, came to the office needing advice on divorce.
While speaking with the attorney, he discovered that he was potentially eligible for Veterans Disability benefits.
Because Brandon Legal Group covers several areas of law they assessed the complete picture of the client.
Other firms that practice in one area, may not have been aware of his Veterans benefit potential.
Once the divorce was concluded, our client needed to have his will revised and Brandon Legal Group was able to assist with this as well.
All his legal needs were served at one location – Brandon Legal Group, PLLC

Debunking Attorney Myths
It's too expensive to call an attorney.
At Brandon Legal Group, your initial consultation is free. Personal Injury cases are offered on a contingency fee basis meaning there are no out of pocket expenses unless there is a financial recovery in your favor. In other matters, if you think an attorney representing you is too expensive, imagine living without seeing your children or spending the next 10 years in prison…
Having an attorney makes you look guilty.
You may be great at a lot of things, but when is the last time you were lead counsel in a criminal matter? Every individual has a Constitutional right to experienced legal counsel no matter the magnitude of the matter. In many instances, the Court may prefer working with experienced Counsel rather than a layman as all litigating parties will be held to the same legal standard and process.
Lawyers just complicate the process.
Experienced attorney’s should foresee pitfalls in your case and reduce the chances of last-second surprises that delay or disrupt the finalization of your legal matter. Attorneys know the process, know the nuances of varying judges courtrooms, and can provide you with the proper resources to make the best decisions in your matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What to do when served?
Do not panic. Contact an attorney. Do not wait, as you only have a certain time limit to respond. If you wait till too close to the deadline, you may not find an attorney who has the time to handle your case on short notice or it may cost you extra in fees to expedite the work.
How long will my case last?
Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to this as each type of legal matter is different. Personal Injury matters may take years to resolve as treatment may be ongoing. Family law matters depend on the party’s willingness to cooperate and the limited availability of court dates. Criminal matters depend on the severity and complexity of cases and whether or not diversion programs or probation are present or involved.
How much does it cost?
There is no definitive answer to this common question. In some types of law, there is a flat fee either at the beginning or end of the case, while other types of cases are paid on an hourly fee basis depending on the work required.
