Criminal, Misdemeanor, and Traffic Violation Defense Attorneys

Misdemeanors should be taken seriously. In addition to fines and incarceration for up to a year, misdemeanors can cause major disruptions in your life, like limiting your ability to obtain employment. At Byron Carlson Petri & Kalb, LLC, we believe that it is essential for a person charged with a misdemeanor to have zealous legal representation when fighting the accusations against them. We treat criminal matters seriously and will take all the appropriate action to keep you from having a permanent criminal record.

Criminal Felony Defense Attorneys

The most serious criminal offenses are felonies, which may be punishable by more than a year's imprisonment, or death. Courts will normally require that a person charged with a felony have representation. A person charge with a felony should seek the counsel of an effective and experienced criminal defense attorney. At Byron Carlson Petri & Kalb we zealously represent our clients at every stage of the criminal proceeding, and if there is sufficient justification to take the case to trial we will use our extensive trial experience to seek an acquittal.

If you have previously been convicted of a crime, we also help clients seek expungement or the sealing of their record.
