Assault charges can arise from a variety of situations, and each case has its own set of circumstances. Whether you’re accused of simple assault or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the penalties can be severe, including jail time, fines, and a permanent criminal record. At Spangler Law, we thoroughly investigate the incident, gather evidence, and build a strong defense to challenge the prosecution’s case. Our goal is to protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome.
DWI or DUI (Driving While Intoxicated or Driving Under the Influence)
Although DWI cases seem relatively straightforward, it is actually one of the most complicated areas of the law. A DWI can include any time a driver is operating a vehicle while impaired by the influence of any substance, even over-the-counter or prescription medication. The penalties depend on whether it is their first offense, how incapacitated you were, whether you caused harm or damage while driving, and how old you were at the time. Every case is different, and even DWIs that initially seem straightforward or “obvious” can turn into dismissals or not guilty verdicts with the right attorney.
Family violence cases are sensitive, and they require a high level of concern, determination, and discretion. Spangler Law provides that in every case. Each assault case is different, and we know from talking to hundreds of clients that things are not always as they seem. The police officers who come after a 911 call will usually arrest the first person accused of a crime rather than taking the time to figure out what actually happened.
When defending a client accused of drug charges, the nuances and details are critical. Charges of possession are generally less serious than those of dealing or trafficking, but the penalties can escalate quickly. It is essential to have competent counsel from the start

Burglary charges involve unlawfully entering a building with the intent to commit a crime inside, such as theft or assault. These charges can range from second-degree felonies to state jail felonies, depending on the circumstances and whether a weapon was involved. The penalties can include lengthy prison sentences and significant fines. At Spangler Law, we scrutinize every aspect of the alleged crime, from the entry to the intent, to provide a robust defense and challenge any weak points in the prosecution’s case.
Robbery charges are serious offenses that involve taking property from someone using force or the threat of force. These cases can lead to severe penalties, including long prison sentences and hefty fines. At Spangler Law, we understand the gravity of these charges and the impact they can have on your life. We work diligently to investigate the facts, interview witnesses, and develop a comprehensive defense strategy aimed at reducing or dismissing the charges against you.
Probation Violations
Violating probation terms can lead to serious consequences, including additional jail time and extended probation periods. These violations can stem from a variety of issues, such as missed appointments, failed drug tests, or new criminal charges. At Spangler Law, we advocate vigorously on your behalf, presenting mitigating factors and arguing for alternative penalties to incarceration. Our aim is to help you stay out of jail and get back on track with your probation terms.
