Walker, Billingsley & Bair practice criminal law matters because we believe that everyone is entitled to a fair trial and the best counsel. Those charged in American courts are presumed innocent until proven guilty. At Walker, Knopf & Billingsley we do all that can be done in every case to require the government to prove its case or to release our client. Regardless of our client's exposure, we evaluate the evidence and the law before making any recommendation. While investigating the client's exposure, we continually prepare with an eye toward taking every case to trial. In other cases, the client must go to trial because the client is innocent or the government simply cannot prove guilt. If the client's exposure is too significant, we take a "damage control" approach (i.e., plea bargains or other mitigation at trial for a lesser included offense or a reduced sentence).

In matters of criminal law, the client must choose experienced lawyers whom they trust. Walker, Billingsley & Bair offers you trust, confidence and experience required in these very critical situations.
Walker, Billingsley & Bair represents those charged with a crime and those under investigation in all
phases of complex and routine criminal litigation and appeals in state and Federal Courts. Walker, Billingsley & Bair reviews all criminal law matters, for example: white collar, homicide or other crimes of violence, drugs, computer crime, sex crime, pornography, etc. We also routinely handle other quasi-criminal matters such as "expungement" cases (i.e., actions to "clean" a prior criminal record), appeals, and post-conviction actions and others.
