Edmunds Spruill & McIntyre is dedicated to defending the rights of clients facing all types of criminal charges, from misdemeanors to serious felonies. Our convenient location in Honolulu allows us to assist clients in state and federal courts throughout the State of Hawaii.
Criminal Charges
A criminal investigation and arrest can disrupt your family and career and result in substantial fines and years or even a lifetime of imprisonment. Without immediate and aggressive action, even minor misdemeanors can derail your daily life. Although being charged with a crime may seem like an overwhelming experience, it does not have to be. By obtaining the services of an experienced defense lawyer with a reputation for aggressive litigation tactics and favorable results, you may be able to minimize the consequences of your arrest.

Our firm understands the intricacies of the criminal justice system and can guide you through the process. We work with skill and precision from the moment of arrest and defend our clients' rights at each stage of the process, from initial hearings through trial and even appeals. Our attorneys emphasize the importance of presenting a clear and convincing case and accomplish this through persuasive written and oral arguments and the strategic use of witnesses.
