If you are under investigation for or have been charged with a crime, you want an experienced lawyer with a comprehensive knowledge of the criminal justice system. The consequences of a conviction can be devastating and can limit your options for years to come. You want an attorney who knows criminal defense and can anticipate the strategies prosecutors will use against you.
At the law office of Horace M. "Jim" Kimel, I bring more than 30 years of criminal defense experience to every case I handle. Before opening my criminal defense practice in 2001, I served four terms as a Guilford County district attorney. I know firsthand how the state approaches criminal cases and can help you take proactive measures to protect your interests.
I offer a free initial consultation to every client. To set up an appointment, contact my office online or call me in Greensboro, North Carolina, at 336-389-0079.
My criminal defense practice
I aggressively defend people charged with any of a wide variety of criminal offenses, such as:
- Traffic violations and misdemeanors
- Drunk driving (DWI)
- Drug offenses
- Felonies ranging from theft or embezzlement to violent crimes, sex crimes and murder
I firmly believe that the state should have to prove its case against you. I will carefully investigate the facts and circumstances of your arrest, looking first to verify that your constitutional rights were not violated. I will examine your case to determine whether police or law enforcement officers had probable cause to conduct any search or seizure, and that you were properly advised of your Miranda rights, if taken into custody. I will question all witnesses to establish their credibility and to identify potential defenses.
It's important to note that the stories and cases reported on this blog are not meant to implicitly or explicitly depict cases actively handled by my firm. In most cases, the blog will simply be covering cases similar to those I are interested in handling.
