Mississippi Criminal Charges

WE ARE NOT TIMID

Royals and Mayfield are top ranked criminal defense lawyers who take on tough Mississippi criminal charges. We are not timid about protecting your rights.

To Tom Royals:

“Tom, you were the third lawyer I contacted though I had heard you were smart and tough. I am glad you were because I was looking at a possible 60 years. You took on the three drug sale charges without requiring that I plead guilty. We fought them hard for two years or more. We won my case. Some said it was luck or a miracle, but it was hard work. After a hung jury and going to the courthouse steps prepared for the next trial, they offered a very reasonable plea bargain which resulted in less than five months to serve most of which was spent in recovery. I learned that it makes a big difference which lawyer you get. Be well.” CH, Mississippi.

How Do You Defend Against A Criminal Charge?

The crucial question is how to defend yourself against state charges. You need a lawyer with massive experience and a proven reputation. IT REQUIRES SKILLED AND EXPERIENCED ATTORNEYS TO EFFECTIVELY GO AGAINST COMPETENT PROSECUTORS. Experience and resources are needed to counter unlimited resources available to the state government. Knowledge of the law is critical. The attorneys of Royals and Mayfield, PLLC, have experience in the MS court system, and will handle even the most difficult criminal cases.
