State and Federal Criminal Defense

State crimes are prosecuted by state agencies and District Attorney's Offices, while federal crimes are prosecuted by the United States Department of Justice, which is divided up into 96 different districts around the country. Each district has a presidentially appointed United State's Attorney who is in charge of enforcing the law and prosecuting crimes in that district.

Attorneys James Alston and Nathan Mays have tried hundreds of state and federal cases. Over the years they have defended clients against charges ranging from misdemeanor DWI to capital murder and drug cases involving thousands of kilos of cocaine, marijuana, heroin and ecstasy. As former prosecutors, they know the means and methods prosecutors use to seek convictions and apply this knowledge to fight the system.

At the Law Offices of Nathan Mays & James Alston, we have a policy of being accessible to our clients. Once hired on a case, clients have our cell phone numbers to contact us directly. For established clients, we answer our phones 24 hours a day.
