Violent Crimes

Federal and state violent crimes are some of the most serious charges that a person can face. Violent crimes are also oftentimes the most complicated cases to defend. The lawyers at Stracci Law Group defend clients charged with all types of violent crimes, including assault, pointing a firearm, battery, murder, street gang-related organized crime, and even enhancements for being an alleged career offender or armed career criminal.  We carefully sort through and examine the evidence and use it to craft compelling defenses for our clients.

Firearms Rights Restoration

If you are a convicted felon living in Indiana, then you are not eligible to own or possess a firearm. If your firearm rights have been revoked or restricted, our firm assists in navigating the complex process of restoring those rights, and will guide you through the necessary legal steps and advocate for your Second Amendment rights.

Juvenile Cases

Almost every act that is a crime if committed by an adult can be alleged against a minor in a juvenile court delinquency petition. Stracci Law Group provides compassionate and effective representation for juveniles facing delinquency charges or involvement in the juvenile justice system. We work to minimize the impact of charges on a young person's future and strive for rehabilitation over punishment.

Probation Violations

Given the seriousness of the potential consequences of a probation violation, you absolutely need a lawyer. Our team of skilled attorneys defends people accused of violating the terms of their probation. We will help you to navigate the legal process and work to achieve the best possible outcome.

Expungements

A criminal arrest and/or criminal conviction is public record and could greatly impact your future success. The records are available to potential employers, businesses, schools, landlords, and financial institutions. We help clients pursue expungement, clear their criminal records, and move forward with a clean slate.

Post-Conviction Relief (Appeals, PCR, ETC)

Stracci Law Group has successfully litigated direct appeals, petitions for post-conviction relief, and state court sentencing modifications. If you believe that your conviction was unjust or that errors were made defending your criminal case, we understand how the system works and can help you explore all available post-conviction relief options.

Federal Criminal Defense

While defending criminal charges in state court is serious business, defending criminal charges in federal court is another matter altogether. Everything about defending a federal criminal case is complex, from the court rules to the criminal allegations, and your exposure to prison time is much higher than in state court cases. The federal criminal defense attorneys at Stracci Law Group have experience defending against all sorts of federal charges, including drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, and firearms offenses. We have the knowledge and experience to navigate the complexities of federal court, protect your rights throughout the legal process, and work tirelessly to ensure your rights are protected.
