The Right Attorney Makes All The Difference
Criminal Defense in Oxford and all of North Mississippi
Living in North Mississippi my whole life, I have practiced law for 30 years and have handled every kind of case imaginable. I understand that being accused is difficult and the reality of dealing with that in a small town can seem harder.
I am here to listen and guide you through to the best possible result. I help people just like you to protect their rights and secure their future. If your case warrants a trial, I have decades of trial experience with a proven track record.
As a former prosecutor, I know cases from both sides of the courtroom and have knowledge that other defense attorneys simply do not have. I have insights into how law enforcement handle investigations and how prosecutors approach cases.
That is an advantage you need.
Comprehensive Criminal Defense Services
I specialize in defending clients against charges at every level—from traffic, DUI, and other misdemeanors to the most serious felony cases. Even if you simply need to expunge something from your past, I can help you.
DUI Defense:
Driving Under the Influence charges can impact many areas of your life, from your job or education to your ability to keep your driver’s license. If you need an attorney, choose one that specializes in exactly what you need. I have handled DUI cases since 1996 both as a prosecutor and a defense attorney and know how to attack any legal issues your case may involve.
Misdemeanor Defense:
In addition to DUI, I handle a wide range of misdemeanor cases with professionalism and care, from traffic violations, public intoxication and disorderly conduct to assault. You have rights and you need an attorney who can protect them fully under the law.
Additionally, if you have encountered the court system as an Ole Miss student, you may be facing consequences with Office of Conflict Resolution and Student Conduct. Having a legal advisor through this process can be very important.
Felony Defense:
Felony criminal charges can affect your career, education and more importantly, your freedom. These cases can involve the possibility of lengthy prison sentences, high fines and supervised probation. Trust Mickey Mallette, I have a proven history being successful in all aspects of the criminal justice system. I will defend you aggressively and professionally for the best results, including a jury trial, if that is necessary.
Expungements and Student Conduct Hearings
If you’ve been convicted of a crime, you may be eligible to expunge your conviction and arrest. Many misdemeanors and felonies can be removed after a period of time, giving you the opportunity for a fresh start and a brighter future.
