Know your
Rights
Always speak to an experienced defense attorney before taking any action if you are accused of a crime or a traffic offense.

Know what you are getting into first! At the Garner Law Firm we have over 20 years of experience defending individuals accused of criminal and traffic offense in Jasper, Newton and McDonald counties.

Criminal Defense & DWI / Traffic Defense
DWI / Traffic Defense
People often think that they have no choice but to plead guilty if they are “caught” in a traffic offense or driving while intoxicated. In fact, in there are many actions an experienced defense attorney can do that may result in the charges getting dropped or at least reduced. Also, if an acceptable plea bargain cannot be obtained, Darryl Garner is ready, willing and able to go to trial on your behalf.
Criminal Defense
As with traffic cases, individuals accused of a crime have many options besides just pleading guilty or going to trial. An experienced defense lawyer may be able to get the charge dismissed, reduced, or obtain a sentence agreement that avoids prison time or even keeps the charge from showing on your record. While the Garner Law Firm cannot guarantee any outcome we will vigorously fight for the best deal possible and take your case to trial if necessary.
