Strategic Criminal Defense Representation

The attorneys at James B. Pittman Jr., P.C., Attorneys at Law provide a full range of criminal defense representation for clients facing charges in both state and federal courts. Our established track record includes winning over 70% of all jury trials in state court, demonstrating our commitment to effective defense strategies.

We regularly handle municipal and county DUIs, traffic violations, and non-felony matters in addition to more serious criminal charges. Our attorneys understand the local court systems and develop defense strategies tailored to your specific situation and goals.

Comprehensive Felony Defense

Facing felony charges can be overwhelming, with potential consequences including significant prison time, substantial fines, and lasting impacts on your personal and professional life. Our defense team provides vigorous representation for clients charged with serious felonies in both state and federal courts. We handle cases involving:

  • Drug possession, distribution, and trafficking
  • Violent crimes, including assault and homicide
  • White-collar offenses, including fraud and embezzlement
  • Property crimes, including burglary and theft
  • Weapons charges
  • Sex crimes


For each case, we conduct a thorough investigation, challenge evidence, negotiate with prosecutors when appropriate, and prepare comprehensive trial strategies. Our approach focuses on both factual and legal defenses, leveraging constitutional protections and procedural requirements to achieve favorable outcomes.

DUI and Traffic Defense

While often treated as routine by some attorneys, DUI and traffic cases can carry serious consequences, including license suspension, insurance increases, and potential incarceration. James B. Pittman Jr., P.C., Attorneys at Law provides dedicated representation for these matters in municipal and county courts throughout the region.

For DUI cases, we examine all aspects of the arrest and testing procedures, challenging improper stops, questioning field sobriety test administration, and scrutinizing breathalyzer and blood test results. This comprehensive approach often reveals weaknesses in the prosecution’s case that can lead to reduced charges or dismissals.

For traffic violations, we work to minimize points on your license, reduce or eliminate fines, and prevent insurance increases. Our familiarity with local traffic courts allows us to negotiate effectively and present compelling arguments for favorable outcomes.

Strategic Defense Development

Effective criminal defense begins with thorough case analysis and strategic planning. Our defense team carefully reviews all evidence, identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and developing appropriate strategies based on the specific circumstances. This may include:

  • Challenging the constitutionality of searches and seizures
  • Filing motions to suppress improperly obtained evidence
  • Negotiating favorable plea agreements when appropriate
  • Developing compelling trial narratives
  • Identifying and preparing expert witnesses
  • Conducting independent investigations


We believe in transparent communication throughout this process, ensuring you understand available options and potential outcomes. This informed approach allows you to make decisions that best serve your interests while we advocate vigorously on your behalf.

Pre-Trial Resolution Options

While our 70% success rate in jury trials demonstrates our courtroom capabilities, we recognize that pre-trial resolution often serves clients’ best interests. Our reputation for trial readiness strengthens our negotiating position, often resulting in favorable plea offers from prosecutors who wish to avoid challenging trials.

James B. Pittman Jr., P.C., Attorneys at Law explores all potential pre-trial resolution options, including diversion programs, deferred prosecution, and reduced charges. For first-time offenders, we emphasize alternatives that minimize long-term consequences while addressing immediate legal concerns. This balanced approach focuses on your overall well-being rather than simply resolving the immediate case.
