Plenty of people just don't get along with each other, but sometimes a person intentionally threatens or intimidates another. Such behavior can result in a criminal charge for harassment.

Legally speaking, homicide is the killing of one person by another person. It is broader in scope than murder, which is generally defined as the crime of unlawfully killing a person, especially with malice aforethought. Thus, the two terms are not synonyms and should not be used interchangeably. Some homicides may be justified or excusable, such as a killing done in self-defense or by soldiers during times of war.
Sometimes, these poor choices leave us on the wrong side of the law, and it can be difficult to shake the consequences if you are an adolescent when you engage in criminal behavior. In 2012, there were 3,941 arrests for every 100,000 youths ages 10 through 17 in the United States. A mark on a child's record can affect his or her future, limiting school and work opportunities.

I’ve had Dan as my attorney for almost 5 years now on my case. From beginning to “almost” the very end he has went above and beyond anything I’ve needed or asked for him to do. He knows his stuff, but the best thing that I’ve seen from him is that he will tell you the hard truth no matter what and help you get through it and I appreciate that. I was terrified and scared and he navigated and helped me along the way. It’s nice to have someone who is passionate about what they do and truly in it to help others when they need it the most! I hope I don’t have to have an attorney again

I can't recommend Dan Carman enough. He was incredible to work with, extremely thorough and efficient. His passion for the job in combination with knowledge of the law are exactly what it takes in any criminal defense situation. He helped me navigate through every detail surrounding the case and always willing to listen and communicate clearly any necessary steps as they would arise. Always quick to respond when I needed his help and made sure I was receiving the correct information. I hope I won't need a defense attorney in the future, but if I do, Dan would definitely be my first choice. Dan

Just wanna say how grateful I am for Dan! Unfortunately I’ve had a few attorneys in my day and Dan by far has been the best I’ve had.. He did everything I asked of him and then some. Even did a couple of things he didn’t have to but he did anyway.
I never write reviews but I had to just because of how grateful I am that he was there for me when I needed it the most. Thank you Dan I really appreciate you!

Dan is a man of few words and of much action. His plan in action became my reality of a dismissal when I was faced with erroneous charges that could have put me away for the rest of my life. I am very thankful for the talent and skills Dan possesses.

Dan is the best lawyer I have ever worked with to resolve a serious issue. He was attentive, very knowledgeable and most importantly he went out of his way to help me resolve my situation.
He was also very comforting during this scary time for me and was always quick to respond to any questions I had throughout the whole process. He was such an advocate for me and helped me stay calm by explaining what I need to do and how we were going to take care of my situation— which he succeeded in doing.

The office was lovely. Very festive and smelled good. The staff was friendly. Dan carman was so helpful. He listened to my husbands situation and gave comforting advice. He gave good examples of what we have to look forward to. It will be a long road ahead of us but i believe we have good chances with him on our side.

5 stars doesn’t quite do it for Dan. I was told he was one of the best criminal defense attorneys in central Kentucky and he did not disappoint. Dan never seemed to put my needs below or aside anyone else’s, I always felt heard and like my case was the most important case he was working. Dan is knowledgeable, kind, and understanding. There was no point in my experience with him or his office that made me think I wasn’t with the best possible attorney. Without question, Dan is the man!

I absolutely agree with the review from @Meshell Gee when she says "Dan puts his clients first not $$$" and "he will see you through until the end." Dan took on our friend's extremely sensitive, very high-stakes case and I can't imagine what might have happened if we did not have Dan by our side. I'm so grateful that we found him. He was extremely… skilled, well-spoken, and deliberate in the courtroom. We actually wrote down his closing arguments just so we could read it back to each other and enjoy how masterfully it was written. He also is supported by extremely kind and gifted staff who
