Criminal Charges Require Quick Legal Action
If you have been arrested on criminal charges, it is crucial to get the help of an experienced, knowledgeable defense attorney who will do what it takes to protect your rights. At Donald D. Cleveland, APLC, I emphasize professionalism, integrity and compassion in my legal representation. I became a criminal defense lawyer because I truly believe in your constitutional right to legal representation.
You Deserve To Be Treated Fairly
I handle a wide variety of criminal law cases, including DWI, DUI or OWI and traffic crimes, drug crimes, white collar crimes, internet crimes, theft and fraud. Additionally, I handle concerns that often arise during an arrest or after a case is resolved, including money and asset forfeiture, expungements, and probation and parole violations.
- Respect: I know that there is much more to you than the crime with which you are I treat you like a person, and I take the time to learn about your needs and goals for your representation.
- Help: If you are facing repeat charges for drugs, theft, DUI or violent crimes, I can help you find the resources and turn your life around.
- Professionalism: I will take the time to work with you, helping you through your problems and fighting vigorously in your defense. I am fighting for more than just lenient sentences and smaller fines — I am fighting for you and your family’s future.
You have a right to a defense, but you also have a right to be treated properly throughout the legal process.
Testimonials
“Donald Cleveland is very professional, dedicated, hardworking, caring, supportive, and just an all around admirable guy. I could not have chosen a better attorney to defend me in court. Donald was successful in having both of my felony cases dismissed and he made it look easy. His first words to me were “this is not only about your freedom, but more importantly your future”. He made sure that I was able to be here for my family and raise my son. His staff is very friendly and respectful, and very involved, also keeping clients updated with the case and all scheduled court matters. I put all my trust into Donald Cleveland and his staff and they certainly did not disappoint. I could not recommend anyone better to defend anyone in a critical situation, and though he tells me everytime we speak to stay out of trouble, if ever needed I know who to call!”
– S.P.
I just wanted to take a minute to say what an amazing blessing it was to have Donald Cleveland as our attorney. Incredibly emotional, confused, clueless, and just scared of the unknown he gave us hope. He and his legal secretary went to work that same day we hired him and a year later were still working hard toward our day in court. Thank you Donald for your professionalism, hard work, dependability and that ray of hope…you will always be remembered!
