Lexington, KY
Criminal Defense Lawyer

You must decide this for yourself, but Dan’s professionalism will likely become apparent in your first conversation. Dan is no-nonsense and knows how to cut to the chase. He is relaxed and doesn’t get hung up on formalities. Instead, he embraces each client as an individual with a history and unique insights.

He will listen to your version of the events in question and look for ways in which there may have been mistaken identity, incomplete evidence, police misconduct, or an alternate version of the explanation of the crime. His legal experience has shown him that mistakes are often made in these cases, so he’s committed to fighting aggressively for his client’s rights under the law. After all, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. That means everyone, including you.

We’ll get right to work. There is no time to waste when your freedom and future are at stake. First, Dan will meet with you, answer your questions, explain the court process, ask questions, and take detailed notes. He’ll review police reports, examine the evidence, read eyewitness accounts of the crime, and look for holes and inconsistencies in the prosecutor’s case. Because Dan has worked as a prosecutor in the U.S. Marine Corps and now serves as a Lexington criminal defense attorney, he has experience on both sides of a courtroom argument. Therefore, Dan is exceptionally skilled at anticipating his opponent’s arguments and defeating them. It is rare that you find a defense attorney with the wide variety of legal experience that Dan possesses. This advantage can be yours when Dan Carman represents you.

Every case is different, and some are more complex than others. Generally, the fewer and the more straightforward the charges, the less the case costs to defend. The more complicated the case, the more it costs. Dan is glad to talk to you confidentially about the potential cost of defending your case. But don’t choose the cheapest attorney you can find. Think of it this way: What price can you put on your freedom? Remember, it’s your future and potential freedom that are at stake.

If there’s one thing that keeps Dan Carman up at night, it’s his overwhelming commitment to making sure each of his clients receives fair treatment in the legal system. It’s no secret that the legal process often has flaws, and the system sometimes inclines toward convicting some types of people more readily than others. It’s not pretty, but it’s true. This is unacceptable in Dan’s eyes. He will do everything in his power to make sure your treatment is fair and that the legal system upholds your constitutional rights.
