Selecting an attorney to defend against the charges you face is an important decision that you need to fully consider so that you understand what the firm you select can bring to the table. Though our unmatched personal service benefits our clients in numerous and profound ways, it would mean little without the extensive skills to back it up. At JMH Law Firm, LLC, our attorneys have spent decades immersed in Missouri criminal law. These unique experiences have allowed our legal team to hone and refine our negotiation and trial skills to a level that consistently enables our firm to secure positive resolutions.

What These Skills Mean

The fact that our St. Louis criminal defense attorneys are highly experienced and skilled in both negotiation and litigation means that we have the legal flexibility to address and successfully resolve cases wherever they may lead. As we are able to fight for our clients during negotiations with or trials against prosecutors, we are not confined by a limited skill set, so numerous avenues and options are presented to our clients. Rather than seeking these resolutions through less-effective means, such as seeking a dismissal by negotiation rather than trial, our lawyers commit to the best strategy and path with the utmost confidence in our skills, experience, and resources.

Building on a Positive Reputation

As a result of continually exercising our negotiation and trial skills during a variety of cases and in a variety of legal arenas, our lawyers have earned favorable reputations with prosecutors, judges, and court systems throughout the state of Missouri.

In addition to maintaining positive relationships and connections with our legal peers, we often find that we can leverage our reputation and use it to our clients' advantages. When prosecutors know that they are up against talented litigators who have handled hundreds of trials, for example, they are often much more willing to negotiate favorable compromises or plea agreements. Although we still make decisions based on careful assessments, our recognition serves to create more options for our clients.

Proven & Reputable St. Louis Criminal Defense Attorneys

At JMH Law Firm, LLC, our lawyers negotiate boldly and with every effort focused on obtaining the best possible terms for our clients. When it comes time to litigate, we fight vigorously and intelligently on behalf of those we represent. Wherever your case may lead, you can be sure that we are equipped with the experience and skills to produce a favorable resolution. Additionally, you can rest assured that our legal team is comprised of upstanding lawyers who are widely regarded and respected for our grit, integrity, and professional abilities.

  • JMH law is the best in the business! Very pleased with the work they’ve done for me, I recommend them to everyone I know!

    - Trey F
  • I was driving pretty quickly in a work zone. What I thought would turn into a night in jail ended up as illegal parking and completing a DIP program virtually from home. Though every situation and outcome is different, the ease of the process alone was worth coming to JMH. Very professional and supremely helpful across the board. Thank you, JMH! Will refer you as often as I can!

    - Samantha S.
  • The JMH Law Firm handled my case quickly and made the process quite simple for me. They were my first call and will continue to be! Joseph responded to any questions I had and made sure I had any and all information that I requested! I’m grateful for the result, the fluid communication and their effective due diligence.

    - Marqual P.
  • Joseph is incredibly professional, responsive, and dedicated. He consistently provides clear communication and reassurance through every step. If you need a top-notch criminal defense lawyer, Joseph Harvath is your man!

    - Amanda W.
  • Joe helped me with a speeding ticket so I didn’t get any points on my license. Easy to work with and managed everything via phone/email with me, which was so convenient. He walked me through what to expect and the costs so I had no surprises. Highly recommend!

    - Katie H.
  • Had my first interaction with Joe this morning to take a look at a traffic ticket for my son who was at fault in a minor accident that we settled outside of insurance. Joe was easy to work with over the phone, and he made the process simple for us. He went above and beyond to get the case resolved in less than 3 hours. Even better was the unexpected surprise that Joe was able to negotiate to get my son's traffic citation completely dropped like it never happened! Never thought that was possible and now I won't hesitate to call Joe again if my family is ever needing an attorney in the future. Highly recommended.

    - Jonathan D.
  • I called around to a few agencies when I finally received my appearance in court letter and Joseph Harvath was by far the nicest attorney I spoke with. Exceptional customer service. He wasn’t afraid to educate me on the process either, which was far more than what the others I spoke with were willing to do. JMH took all the information needed from me right then and there on the initial call. Received a letter a week later with a new court date, that same day I received notification that it was all taken care of. I highly recommend if you want to fight any traffic violation almost hassle free.

    - Natalie N.
  • I’m grateful that I found Wayne to represent me. His years of experience and diligence in his job made me feel comfortable with him. It was a long drawn out process, and he kept me updated and would always make himself available for any questions that I had. I would highly recommend him if you are lucky enough for him to represent you.

    - Barry P.
  • Wayne has been amazing to work with!!! He handled my case professionally, kept me updated on my case very frequently, and always responded to me with urgency. I would 10/10 recommend him to friends/family. Thank you for everything Wayne!!!

    - Rachel F.
  • I’m incredibly grateful for the outstanding legal support I received! Wayne handled my case with professionalism, urgency, and genuine care. From start to finish, he kept me well-informed, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt supported through every step of the process. His communication was consistent, and his knowledge and confidence gave me peace of mind. Not only is he a great attorney—he’s also an all-around great person. I highly recommend him to anyone needing strong, compassionate legal representation.
