Facing charges for a crime in state or federal court is a very difficult experience to deal with. Often, the prosecution is highly aggressive in pushing for a conviction, which is why it is important for you to choose a criminal defense attorney who can push back and make sure that your rights are upheld and that you get a fair, if not favorable, judgment on your case. If you have been arrested on charges of fraud, embezzlement, conspiracy, money laundering, bribery, tax evasion identity theft, criminal counterfeiting, extortion, sex offenses, or cybercrimes in federal court or arson, vandalism, theft, drug possession, or drug trafficking in a state court, The Law Office of Wayne Bodden has attorneys who will do everything in their power to zealously defend your case.
Members of the police force are tasked to serve and protect the public. They put their lives on the line every day to make sure that the people they serve remain safe. However, not all police officers perform their duties conscientiously, and some may even abuse their authority. If you have fallen victim to the police’s excessive use of force, then you should know that you are entitled to seek damages for the injuries you sustained. The Law Office of Wayne Bodden has experienced personal injury lawyers who are committed to giving you sound advice and fighting beside you. We can help you pursue justice and fair compensation as a consequence of the police brutality that you have been subjected to.
Driving While Intoxicated, or DWI, is one of the most serious violations that you can be charged with. According to statistics, over 30% of all motor vehicle traffic fatalities can be attributed to alcohol-impaired driving. This is why DWI cases are among the most harshly dealt with in court. A DWI offense can result in the suspension or revocation of your driver’s license, and it comes with hefty fines and possible jail time. The attorneys at The Law Office of Wayne Bodden will help you fight against having a DWI charge on your driving record and will make sure that fines are minimized and prison time is reduced or eliminated.
An offence against the person is defined as a crime in which the defendant applies direct physical harm or force against a victim. These crimes include those that are fatal, non-fatal, or sexual in nature. Depending on the severity, you may be charged with a felony, infarction, or misdemeanor. If you have been charged with murder, manslaughter, assault, battery, wounding, poisoning, or inflicting grievous bodily harm, the lawyers at The Law Office of Wayne Bodden can focus their attention on putting together the best defense for you.
A divorce is not an easy thing to go through. Aside from being a highly emotional experience, going through a divorce requires you to think about filing a petition, as well as separation of assets, alimony, child custody, and child support. Disputes and conflicts should thus be handled in the best way possible. In The Law Office of Wayne Bodden, divorce attorneys work with you in the most sensitive and understanding manner so that the process is resolved as amicably as possible and with the least possible emotional consequences on all involved parties.

Receiving a subpoena and being the subject of an investigation by a grand jury can be a huge cause for anxiety. Such investigations are typically associated with an active criminal investigation. A subpoena bearing the words “ad testificandum” would require that you testify in court, whereas one that has the words “duces tecum” would compel you to submit documents or objects for review and investigation. In both cases, you would do well to consult legal counsel before providing testimony or submitting documentary evidence. The attorneys at The Law Office of Wayne Bodden can help you avoid exposure to criminal liability and self-incrimination.
Extradition is defined as the legal process in which an individual is brought from the country where he or she is located to a requesting country to undergo criminal prosecution or to serve a given sentence. It is a highly complex process that involves not just the individual of interest, but also the two countries and their law enforcement agencies. If you are the subject of an extradition case or an international arrest warrant, you need sound legal advice and expert representation. The lawyers at The Law Office of Wayne Bodden can make sure that your rights are upheld and that you are protected.
