Drug possession and misdemeanor drug charges
Traffic violations
Prescription fraud
Juvenile offenses
White-collar crimes, such as embezzlement or corporate fraud
Our Approach: Skilled, Strategic, and Supportive
Whether you were stopped for drinking and driving or accused of a corporate crime, having an experienced Indiana criminal defense lawyer on your side is crucial. At CCHA Law, we defend clients aggressively and confidentially. Our attorneys understand that every case is unique, and that many of our clients have never been in trouble with the law before.
We believe in second chances, not snap judgments. If you were unaware that your actions could be considered criminal, misunderstood the potential consequences, or simply made a mistake, we are here to provide the support and strategic defense you deserve. Our goal is to minimize the impact of your charges and, when possible, pursue the most lenient outcomes through negotiation or court advocacy.

At CCHA, we’re here to stand beside our clients every step of the way, ensuring they feel supported, informed, and empowered throughout the legal process.”Sam Robinson, Criminal Defense Attorney at CCHA Law
