If you are facing criminal charges in Fresno, Merced, and throughout the Central Valley, there's no law firm more dedicated to your defense than the Law Firm of Miles A. Harris. Mr. Harris has extensive experience and a long track record of success with criminal defense cases and will fight fiercely and tirelessly to protect your rights and get you the outcome you deserve.
When the Stakes Are High…
The California criminal justice system is intended to be fair—at least, in theory. The reality, however, is that without a good attorney, it's all too easy for people to be punished for crimes they didn't commit or to receive enhanced sentences that far outweigh the offense. For serious felonies, these enhancements can amount to many years in prison, away from family and loved ones, a police record that haunts you for life, and possibly even the death penalty.
Miles A. Harris faces these challenges without flinching, and he's not afraid to ruffle a few feathers in the courtroom when necessary. He fights fearlessly to protect his clients' rights, and he's highly skilled in negotiations both in and out of the courtroom to secure the most positive outcomes for his clients.
