Type of Crimes We Help With

At Heartland Law Office PC, we handle a wide range of criminal cases. Here are some specific types of crimes that an average North Dakota criminal defense lawyer, like Patrick Waters, would provide defense for:

DUI  Charges

Driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) are serious offenses that can have significant consequences, including license suspension, hefty fines, and even jail time. Our team is skilled in challenging the evidence, such as breathalyzer results and field sobriety tests, to provide you with a robust defense.

Drug Offenses

Drug charges can range from possession to trafficking and manufacturing. These charges carry severe penalties, including long-term imprisonment. We work diligently to scrutinize the evidence, challenge unlawful searches and seizures, and negotiate for reduced charges or alternative sentencing options.

Assault and Battery

Assault and battery charges can arise from various situations, including domestic disputes and bar fights. These charges can lead to serious repercussions, including restraining orders and incarceration. We aim to uncover the truth and present a strong defense to protect your rights and freedom.

Theft and Burglary

Theft and burglary charges can tarnish your reputation and lead to severe penalties. Whether you are accused of shoplifting, grand theft, or breaking and entering, we will investigate the circumstances of your case and work to build a compelling defense strategy.

White-Collar Crimes

White-collar crimes, such as fraud, embezzlement, and insider trading, often involve complex legal and financial issues. Our attorney’s background as a former prosecutor equips him with the knowledge to dissect these intricate cases and mount an effective defense.

Sex Crimes

Being accused of a sex crime can be devastating and life-altering. These charges require a sensitive and meticulous approach to defense. We are committed to protecting your rights and ensuring that you receive a fair trial.

Juvenile Crimes

Juvenile crimes require a different approach than adult criminal cases. We understand the importance of protecting the future of young individuals and work towards rehabilitation and minimizing the impact of criminal charges on their lives.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence charges can have far-reaching consequences, including loss of custody and employment. We provide a compassionate yet aggressive defense to ensure that your side of the story is heard and that your rights are upheld.
