Palmetto Criminal Defense Lawyer
Being questioned by the police in connection with a crime can be frightening, and being arrested is downright terrifying. What will happen next? Will you go to jail? How should you plead at trial?

To get the answers you need, talking to a criminal law attorney is the smart choice. A lawyer can review your situation, help you to make strategic choices moving forward, and advocate for you every step of the way as you cope with criminal charges. Katz & Phillips, P.A. represents clients accused of crimes throughout the Palmetto area and we are here to help you.
