Superior Legal Representation in Hernando, Mississippi
Attorney James D. Franks
As a criminal trial lawyer with more than 30 years of experience, I provide superior legal representation to people throughout Hernando and northern Mississippi in the following areas:
DUI / DWI - If you are facing drunk driving charges, whether alcohol or drug related, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney making sure your constitutional rights are protected. I have extensive experience representing people arrested for or charged with these types of offenses, and I have handled more than 4,500 DUI cases.
Criminal Defense - I represent people who have been arrested or charged with a misdemeanor or felony criminal charge, from minor infractions such as traffic violations to more serious crimes such as drug / narcotics possession or sale, domestic violence, sex offenses, murder, and manslaughter.
Youth Court Defense - Our practice includes the defense of juveniles who have been investigated for or charged with either delinquent acts or CHINS (Child in Need of Supervision) offenses in the Mississippi Youth Court System. We also represent adults investigated by or charged in Youth Court with abuse and/or neglect. No other firm can offer you the Youth Court experience this firm has to offer.
Involuntary Commitments - If you feel that a loved one has lost control, either due to a psychiatric imbalance, or because of alcohol or drug use, and they refuse to get treatment, I can assist you in obtaining an involuntary commitment. This can help treat the psychiatric condition or get the individual the drug or alcohol rehabilitation that they need.
Conservatorships - In situations where a loved one may be in need of serious care for a psychiatric condition or addiction, they may not be able to fully control their finances. I can help family members establish a conservatorship in these cases, which allows family members to help protect the individual's money and property.
