Welcome
Welcome to the Law Office of Paul R. Taber. An arrest is not a conviction and we’re here to make sure it doesn’t become one. Having said that, finding the right criminal defense lawyer is more important than ever. Criminal defense is more challenging today than it ever has been, with the stakes much higher than before. Government entities from local municipalities on up to the federal government are actively touting their tough stances on crime, with the statutes increasing backing those claims up.
If you’ve been charged with a crime, consequences can range drastically, from small fines to jail time, or even life behind bars. It is critically important that you contact our office as soon as possible so we can begin preparing the best possible defense for you. Even your civilian life can be dramatically affected. Employers are doing background checks, and landlords run investigations, to name but a few. With the internet now, a criminal charge could even be searchable on Google. You just don’t want to mess around with these charges.
I've handled hundreds of cases. In those there have been some spectacular victories for my clients. Results I’ve been proud of and felt good about for my clients. I know how to conduct a major criminal defense and strategize on my feet with the comfort and confidence that comes from years of experience in front of a jury.
I bring a couple of critically important things to your defense. First, I am a seasoned criminal defense attorney with over 15 years of experience. I have worked on a variety of different criminal allegations, and am extremely familiar with the ins and outs of the criminal justice system.
The second thing I offer my clients is a focus on criminal defense. While many attorneys split their time between different areas of practice, I focus on criminal matters only. This brings an expertise that is extremely valuable to my clients. With the laws relating to this practice in constant flux, to the ever changing technologies that influence criminal defense matters, staying abreast of the changes requires a strong focus.

- DUI’s
- DWP’s
