Oklahoma Criminal Defense Attorneys Handling a Wide Range of Criminal Cases

Being charged with a crime can be stressful and overwhelming — your liberty, livelihood, and future are all on the line. However, it’s important to understand that just because you were arrested doesn’t have to mean you will be convicted. The prosecution has the burden of proving your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. This is why it’s important to have an adept criminal defense attorney and tenacious advocate by your side who knows how to fight the charges against you.

At Titus Hillis, we represent clients in municipal, state, tribal, and federal criminal courts for a broad scope of criminal matters, including those involving the following:

• Murder/manslaughter/homicide
• DUI/DWI
• Violent crimes

• Property crimes
• Robbery
• Vandalism
• Theft crimes
• Domestic violence
• White collar crimes

Applying our knowledge, acumen, and insight, we work diligently to ensure you have the representation you need when you need it the most. Whether your case involves a plea bargain or going to trial, our attorneys are committed to providing a strong defense and obtaining positive results.

Skillful Representation for Misdemeanors and Felonies

In the event you’ve been charged with a misdemeanor or felony, a criminal accusation is nothing to take lightly — the collateral consequences can be life-changing. Depending on the charges, you could face a significant amount of time in jail, monetary fines, parole, and social repercussions. It may also be difficult to find a job or housing with a criminal record. In addition, if you were found guilty of a felony, you may be barred from owning a firearm, possessing a driver’s license, or entering into certain licensed professions. A felony conviction can also bar you from serving on a jury or being eligible for government assistance.

When it comes to protecting your liberty, having a solid defense is critical. The attorneys at Titus Hillis will evaluate the facts of your case to create an effective strategy. Some common defenses that may be asserted in a criminal case can include the following:

• Mistaken identity — This defense claims a defendant’s innocence by asserting that the defendant was mistaken for the person who actually committed the crime.
• Self-defense — The defense of self-defense can be raised in cases where a defendant used violence in a justified manner in response to a violent action by the victim. To assert this defense, the amount of force used must be reasonable and proportionate with the amount of force used by the victim.
• Entrapment — Entrapment is an affirmative defense that can be used in limited cases where the defendant can show they were induced by law enforcement into committing the crime.
• Constitutional violation — If your Constitutional rights were violated during your interactions with law enforcement, you may be able to assert this as a defense in your criminal case. For instance, if police conducted an illegal search and seizure in violation of your Fourth Amendment right or violated your Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, you may be able to have the evidence that was obtained suppressed.
• Insufficient evidence — The prosecution relies on the quality and amount of evidence to prove its case against you. If there is not enough evidence for the state to meet its burden of proof, the case may be dismissed.

No matter what criminal offense you’ve been charged with, you have the right to a fair trial. At Titus Hillis, we have the experience necessary to investigate the facts of your case and challenge the evidence. When you are represented by our criminal defense attorneys, you can rest assured that you will have an advocate on your side who will work to achieve the best possible results in your case.
