Shelby Adams defends a wide range of criminal cases
- DUIs and other traffic offenses
Being charged with a DUI can lead to license suspension, hefty fines, and even jail time—especially if it’s not your first offense. - Drug possession and other drug offenses
Drug charges can range from misdemeanor possession to felony trafficking, each carrying serious penalties including prison time, loss of employment, and a criminal record - Theft and Property Offenses
These include shoplifting, burglary, and receiving stolen property. Even minor theft charges can follow you for life, affecting employment and housing. - Assault and Domestic Violence
Assault and domestic violence charges often arise from heated moments and conflicting accounts. These cases can carry serious consequences—jail time, protective orders, restrictions on seeing your children, and a permanent criminal record—even if no one was physically injured.
- Weapons Charges
Gun-related charges often carry mandatory jail time and federal implications, especially for individuals with prior convictions or without a valid permit. - Juvenile Charges
Juvenile cases involve minors charged with offenses ranging from truancy to felonies. These cases carry unique consequences that can impact school, jobs, and future opportunities. - Expungement and Record Sealing
Old charges and convictions can haunt you when applying for jobs, housing, or licenses—even long after you’ve moved on. - Probation Violations
Violating probation—whether for missing a check-in, failing a drug test, or catching a new charge—can quickly lead to serious consequences, including jail time and having your original sentence reinstated. Even minor or unintentional slip-ups can result in a violation hearing.
