Understanding The Challenges Of Serious Charges

Serious criminal charges like DWI, domestic assault, white-collar crime, or criminal sexual conduct create uncertainty and stress. Clients often fear long-term consequences to their careers, relationships, and freedom. Without experienced legal guidance, evidence can be overlooked, deadlines missed, and witnesses ignored. Hertogs Criminal Defense ensures a strategic, thorough approach that reduces stress and increases the chance of a favorable outcome.


DWI/DUI Defense

Being charged with DWI or DUI can carry severe personal and professional consequences. First-time offenders may face license suspension, fines, or probation, while repeat or felony-level charges could result in significant jail time. Hertogs Criminal Defense handles all levels, including license revocation, breath, blood, and urine testing challenges, plate impoundment, ATV and snowmobile DUI, boating while intoxicated, and mandatory minimum sentences. We investigate each case carefully, challenge inaccurate testing, and build a defense tailored to your situation.

Domestic Assault and Related Offenses

Domestic assault charges can be emotionally charged and complex. Clients often worry about restraining orders, custody implications, or criminal penalties. Hertogs Criminal Defense handles all levels of assault, malicious punishment of a child, threats of violence, strangulation, no-contact orders, 911 interference, and assault with a deadly weapon. We focus on gathering facts, reviewing evidence, and interviewing witnesses others may ignore to protect your rights and reputation.
