If you are facing criminal prosecution in Las Vegas, whoever you are and whatever the accusations, I can help you.. I have years of hard-earned experience defending criminal cases that range in seriousness from simple misdemeanors to felonies that carry life sentences.  I have handled every kind of criminal charge, from drugs to violence to theft and fraud and everything in between.  I defend clients from start to finish, from police investigation and arrest to formal charges all the way through trial and sentencing.  But I am willing to jump in and take over cases at any point, sometimes on the eve of trial.. I defend a diverse range of clients, from Las Vegas natives to visitors from across the United States and Canada and all across the world.  I represent clients with spotless records who are terrified of jail as well as multiple time felons who have done hard time and are hoping for a lucky break.  I have represented active duty military who made drunken mistakes and veterans who have trouble adapting to civilian life.  I represent people in the wrong place at the wrong time, people who fell in with the wrong crowd, people who made an impulsive decision with serious consequences, people with psychological disorders and physical impairments, and people addicted to drugs or gambling.  I represent people who admitted they were caught red-handed and people who are completely innocent. I represent men and women of every race, religion, sexual orientation, age, political affiliation, education level, and economic status.  I find it easy to connect with almost anyone and any client.  And I recognize that different clients have different needs and priorities.. I value creativity and the ability to adapt, so I am always looking for creative solutions and I vary my style and tactics based on the circumstances of each case.  I am a skilled negotiator and an experienced trial attorney, so I can quickly work out favorable deals in most cases, but if negotiations fail, I am willing and able to fight tenaciously to win your trial.  I am aggressive when I need to be and don’t tolerate unfair treatment of my clients, but I maintain good professional relationships in the criminal defense community and avoid burning bridges.  I don’t waste time with ineffective arguments or pick petty fights with opposing counsel, but I have no problem being the bad guy when I need to be.  I will not be polite at the expense of being thorough, and I will not treat a false accuser like a victim.. I give honest advice based on a careful evaluation of each case, and I can predict the likely outcome of many cases.  No two cases are exactly alike, but your charges aren’t new to me and neither are the facts of your case.  Whoever your prosecutor is, I’ve probably worked opposite him on dozens if not hundreds of cases, some just like yours.  Whoever your judge is, I’ve most likely appeared in his court more times than I can accurately estimate.  So while there are no guarantees, if you give me complete and accurate information about your case, I can tell you what results we can achieve.  I won’t try to scare you by overstating the worst case scenario, but I won’t promise you unrealistic results either.. I am proud of my successes as a criminal defense attorney.  I routinely negotiate quick and favorable deals to keep my clients’ records clean.  I have won not guilty verdicts in some very tough cases.  I have gotten more charges dismissed than I can remember.  I’ve saved countless men and women from prison.  If you are my client, I will use all of my talent, skill, and experience to get your charges dismissed or get you acquitted, or to work out a deal that keeps  your record clean without you ever setting foot in a courtroom.  Even if the evidence against you is strong and the charges are serious, I will work every angle to get you the best outcome possible and keep you out of jail or prison if I can.. Criminal charges are very stressful for defendants and their loved ones, and one of the greatest sources of stress is the fear of the unknown.  So I take time to answer my clients’ questions about their charges and the criminal law process and then I explain my plan to achieve the result we want.  I am always happy when I complete an initial consultation and a potential client tells me that I made her feel less worried about the future.. I tell clients that no matter what their charges are, the only way to handle their case is to take things one step at a time.  The consultation is always the first step.  Call me now to take that first step.  The rest is mostly up to me.  As I often tell my clients when they are feeling overwhelmed, I have gotten a lot of people out of a lot of trouble.  So I can help you too.

Hayes handles all types of felony, misdemeanor, and traffic cases in Duplin County and Sampson County. Hayes has served the Fourth Judicial District Bar as Vice President (2007-2008) and President (2008-2009). A small portion of Hayes' practice is devoted to general civil litigation and municipal law.

Mr. Kiernan served as an Assistant District Attorney (Prosecutor) for the State of North Carolina for the Fourth Prosecutorial District from 2007 through 2012.  Though he began practicing in District Court in Onslow County, and also handled Juvenile Court matters in Sampson County, the bulk of his time was spent handling matters in Superior Court in Sampson and Duplin Counties.  While serving as a Prosecutor, Mr. Kiernan gained invaluable experience in working with matters from simple traffic tickets to murder cases, and everything in between.. Mr. Kiernan has successfully handled several bench and jury trials as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney.  While actively practicing as a true courtroom advocate, Kiernan also continues to research the evolving areas of law, especially in the fields of criminal defense and bankruptcy, in order to be able to provide the pinnacle of legal advocacy and counsel to his clients in those matters.  Indeed, Kiernan played an instrumental role in the developing area of double jeopardy jurisprudence in relation to DWI charges, leading to an appellate ruling mirroring his arguments from the Superior Court level.  More recently, Kiernan is now again involved in an unsettled area of jurisprudence regarding traffic stops in relation to search and seizure that is entering appellate review.. With a strong background in chemistry, mathematics, engineering, and computer science, Kiernan is able to draw from those logic based areas of study and apply the same concepts to the practice of law, allowing for well-planned, sound, creative, and most importantly successful legal strategies for his clients' cases.

Passionate, motivated attorney practicing in Summit and Portage Counties in the areas of criminal defense law, family law, and that “gray area” in between that includes juvenile law (abuse, dependency, neglect cases as well as delinquency cases) and both filing and defending Civil Protection Orders.. The attorneys at Melissa Graham-Hurd & Associates, LLC are eager to help clients mediate, negotiate, or litigate their legal problems--whichever is appropriate upon an in-depth consultation with our clients. I offer a compassionate, personal approach to resolving legal matters. Clients can have the peace of mind they deserve because I know how to find the answers to the pressing questions and concerns through my experience, researching skills, resourceful nature, and the wealth of knowledge I can access through my professional associations.. I am a very active and long-standing member of the Akron Bar Association as the Vice-Chair of the New Lawyers' Section, and a member of the Lawyers' Assistance Committee, the Criminal Law Section, and the Family Law Section.. My volunteer work as a Court Appointed Special Advocate and Guardian Ad Litem (CASA/GAL) has also given me access to special training and additional experience in juvenile law—to both the law of this practice area and the realities that parents, foster parents, and other family members and friends face when they find themselves in the juvenile court system or in their county’s department of children services (including Summit County Children’s Services, which is also called SCCS or CSB, and Portage Children’s Services Agency, or PCSA or CSB).. I stay involved and in touch with the state of the law in Ohio in my practice areas through the Continuing Legal Education seminars and the networking opportunities available through the Ohio Bar Association. I attend many Continuing Legal Education seminars annually to expand my professional knowledge and network of knowledgeable practitioners; I am recognized as a member of the Ohio Bar College for attending more than 24 hours of CLE in a single year, which is double what the Ohio Supreme Court requires of registered attorneys (the Court requires 24 hours every TWO years)!. My other professional memberships include the Ohio Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys, which puts me in touch with criminal defense practitioners in my area and around the state who are deep in the trenches every day alongside me. My membership in the Ohio Women's Bar Association and the American Bar Association also enrich my professional network and knowledge of relevant case law.
