Facing criminal charges can be overwhelming. The decisions you make early on can have lasting consequences—and rushing to accept a plea or go it alone may limit your options.
At Norton Pelt, we take a strategic, client-centered approach to criminal defense. We help you understand the full range of legal options available, develop a defense tailored to your goals, and stand by you throughout the process—whether we’re negotiating with prosecutors or preparing for trial.
Our attorneys have decades of combined experience defending clients against criminal charges of all types and levels of seriousness.
How We Help
We represent clients in a wide range of criminal matters, including but not limited to:
Drug Charges
From simple possession to distribution and manufacturing offenses, drug cases can carry serious consequences—including jail time, license suspension, and long-term impact on employment. We handle charges involving marijuana, prescription medications, and controlled substances such as heroin and fentanyl.
Traffic Offenses & Reckless Driving
Traffic charges may seem minor, but can quickly affect your license, insurance, and employment, especially if you’re charged with reckless driving or driving on a suspended license. We defend clients against speeding tickets, license violations, and other motor vehicle offenses.
DUI / DWI
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious charge that can affect every area of your life. We challenge the evidence, examine procedures, and fight for outcomes that minimize penalties and protect your record.
Violent Crimes
When you’re charged with a serious offense like assault, robbery, domestic violence, rape, or even homicide, you need a defense team that’s ready to fight hard and act fast. We provide aggressive, experienced representation in high-stakes criminal cases.
Juvenile Charges
Juvenile offenses can have lasting effects, even if they don’t take place in adult court. We represent minors facing a range of charges, helping them—and their families—understand their rights and protect their future.
Your Defense Starts Here
No matter the charge, you don’t have to face it alone. At Norton Pelt, we work as a team to build a strong, personalized defense strategy—one designed to protect your rights, your freedom, and your future.
Contact us as early as possible if you or a loved one has been arrested or charged. The sooner we get involved, the more we can do to help.
