Services
Criminal Law is a broad practice area comprised of many categories and types of crimes, some of which are detailed below. Generally, criminal cases are those initiated by a state or federal law enforcement agency or prosecutor's office seeking to impose some form of penalty against the defendant, often in the form of incarceration or fines.
Criminal cases which carry prison sentences of one year or more are considered felonies. In Kentucky, felonies fall into four "classes" based on the severity of the alleged crime. More common felonies include illegal possession or sale of certain "street" drugs or pharmaceuticals, thefts in excess of $500, burglary, robbery, serious assaults, sex crimes and illegal weapon possession.
Cases which carry a maximum penalty of 365 days in the county jail (as opposed to a state prison) and/or a fine are considered misdemeanors in Kentucky. Common misdemeanors include possession or sale of small amounts of marijuana, simple assault, theft under $500 and various traffic offenses. While these cases are not as serious as felonies, it remains very important to have quality legal representation.
Driving under the influence (DUI) is a "hot button" issue these days. Police and prosecutors are under tremendous political pressure from the media, MADD and others to "get tough" on suspected offenders. Conviction rates are very high. While Kentucky penalties for a first offense are not overly severe, second or subsequent offenses carry mandatory jail time, high fines, extended alcohol treatment and long term license suspensions.
The possession, sale or manufacture of illegal drugs and related crimes can be misdemeanors or felonies depending on the type of drug, one's criminal history and/or the amounts involved. All drug crimes potentially carry jail or prison time. In addition, a drug conviction can cause loss of employment and the inability to obtain student loans.

FOREX INVESTMENT I never believed my life will change in such a manner, i saw a review on a page about MRS CHARLOTTE WAYNE and before then i have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because i think i was so wise and never want to be cheated, but when i contacted her and she explained everything to me concerning trading and the… profit i can make within a week i was convinced to give a trial and why i risked to invest 500$ was because i don't need to send her the money but to create and fund my trading account all by myself and give her the access to manage my trading account

John Harralson is the perfect example of an impeccable legal professional. I found him astute, efficient and extremely adept at assessing and explaining in no uncertain terms the complete legal process. Beyond his highly adept legal capabilities, he is also a very personable guy and can easily provide plain and clear direction and advice. If anything, one should always have a great attorney's number on hand.

Working with John was a wonderful experience. He's professional but at the same time, an easy going nice guy. He answered all of my questions quicker than I'd anticipated(Very quick email response). He set realistic expectations of the outcome and was accurate in his predictions. Fees were extremely transparent, and more than fair. I knew exactly what I would owe, and that's what I owed. When I need legal services again, Mr Harralson will be the person I look to,

We had some significant traffic related issues in a neighboring county that Mr Harralson handled for us with the best possible outcome to all parties. I have known Johnny for decades, and my respect for his legal abilities knows no bounds. His advice on all legal matters has been so helpful and so well reasoned.

John is the ultimate professional! I have a Florida Commercial Drivers License and was in Louisville visiting and received a Speeding Ticket on the Watterson Exp. in my personal vehicle. I'm 80 years old and have dealt with attorneys all my life. Many of my friends are attorneys or judges. John is the first attorney that respected me as a client, told me exactly what to expect, represented me before the court, always kept me informed. As it was my mistake he did more than I could have expected.

John Harrilson has been my personal attorney for several years. His knowledge and expertise has been so valuable. He’s professional and caring and has always been willing to redirect me to others if a particular legal matter can be better service by one of his colleagues. John is a winner and it matters to him that you have the best possible outcome. He’s always fair with his fees and I don’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice.

I have been friends with John for 30 years and have witnessed his growing reputation for being the best defense lawyer in town. Last year, a coworker of mine was arrested for DUI and would have lost his job if he could not drive. He is a young guy and his wife had just had a baby. He had been speaking to other lawyers who were painting a dim picture and we're going to charge him an excessive amount in fees. When he spoke to me I without hesitation told him I had the right lawyer for him. I called John, he answered immediately and within 5 minutes he was in touch with my friend. Referring someone

John has always been a keen and effective criminal attorney even in his early days as a lawyer. Now, after decades of experience, John always gets the best outcome for his clients. I continue to refer to John Harralson all my friends and clients who have criminal or traffic matters before the courts in Louisville and surrounding counties. He will take care of your needs professionally and for a reasonable price, particularly taking into account his high level of skill and success at his job.”
