CRIMINAL LAW

If you have been charged with a crime or are being questioned by law enforcement, it is very important that you consult with an experienced criminal attorney as soon as possible. Criminal charges are better handled by a skilled attorney who understands the legal process.

Lynchburg's criminal defense attorney Carlos A. Hutcherson has provided legal advice and defense to many clients. He is an experienced criminal defense attorney representing clients who have been charged with offenses in municipal courts, magistrates' courts and the state courts of Virginia. Some of these charges may include:

Drug Charges ● DUI/Drunk Driving Charges ● Sexual Abuse Charges ● Robbery and Theft Charges

Criminal Domestic Violence ● Larceny Charges

PERSONAL INJURY

     Personal injury law falls under the area of law which is called torts. A personal injury case can arise from an automobile accident, a slip or trip and fall, a defective product, or any other type of situation in which a person is injured due to the negligence of another.

     If you are injured as a result of another person’s negligence, you may have a cause of action against that person. If, for example, you are injured when another driver runs a red light, you would have a negligence case against the other driver.

     Oftentimes folks have difficulty in trying to resolve their case with the other driver’s insurance company; as a result, they have to contact a lawyer to help them resolve their case. A person is entitled to certain damages when injured. Reimbursement for medical bills and lost wages are actual damages which a person is allowed to recover. Other actual damages a person is entitled to are pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and any permanent injury.

Motor Vehicle Accidents ● Premises Liability ● Animal Bites/Attacks ● Product Liability

Injuries To Minors ● Wrongful Dea
