Select and Retain a Lawyer Quickly if You're Charged with Criminal Conduct
As a general rule, you should not talk with anyone or sign anything until you have legal representation. The Burton & Simkin legal team has decades of experience in defending persons charged with virtually every type of crime, from traffic violations and driving under the influence (DUI or DWI) to white collar crime and crimes of theft or violence. Our working relationship with the courts, prosecuting attorneys and other attorneys is excellent.

Most important, we appreciate the fear and apprehension that anyone charged with a crime undergoes. We work hard to provide you with the best outcome possible.

Contact one of our lawyers to arrange an initial meeting to discuss any legal issue that confronts you.  Call 765-966-5518 or toll-free at 877-966-5518 or email us at info@burtonandsimkin.com
