ProtectingYour Rights

We’ll Help You Assert Your Legal Rights

Criminal charges pose a significant threat to your freedom. When faced with the harsh potential consequences of a conviction – not to mention the lingering effects of a criminal record – you should leave your case in the hands of a trusted legal professional with proven experience.

The lawyer at DeVries Law Office has more than two decades of criminal law experience, which he leverages to help individuals navigate serious charges. Before focusing on criminal defense, founding attorney Scott A. DeVries served as both a deputy prosecutor for Marion County and a master commissioner (appointed judge). He handled thousands of criminal matters in both roles. You can benefit from his insider knowledge of how the judge, jury and prosecutor will approach your case.

Nowhere do experience and results matter more than when your freedom is at stake. Choose the proven experience of a former deputy prosecutor and appointed judge.

Tailoring A Strategy To Fit Your Situation

A successful legal strategy for someone facing first-time misdemeanor charges will look very different than the approach to repeat felony charges. At DeVries Law Office, we never take a cookie-cutter approach to criminal defense. Our experience enhances our ability to develop nuanced legal strategies. We will work with you to design an effective plan of action that fits your circumstances, needs and goals.
