What Kinds of Criminal Charges Does Miller Butler Handle in Arkansas?

If you’ve been arrested or cited in Rogers, Arkansas—or anywhere in the surrounding area—you need a defense attorney who knows how to navigate the local courts and protect your rights from day one. At Miller | Butler, we represent clients facing everything from minor misdemeanors to serious felonies, always with the same level of care, preparation, and commitment.

Here are some of the most common charges we handle for clients in Rogers, Bentonville, Fayetteville, and across Northwest Arkansas:

Drug Offenses

Whether it’s a simple marijuana possession charge or a more serious accusation like distribution or manufacturing, we look closely at how the stop happened, whether the search was legal, and whether the evidence should even be allowed in court.

Assault and Violent Crimes

Allegations involving domestic violence, bar fights, or weapons carry heavy consequences in Arkansas. If you’ve been accused of assault—whether in a downtown Rogers incident or a dispute at home—we fight to make sure your side of the story is heard.

DUI and DWI Charges

If you were pulled over after a night out in Rogers or near I-49 heading into Benton County, a DUI conviction can impact your driver’s license, your job, and your future. We challenge improper stops, breath test errors, and any violations of your rights.

Theft and Property Crimes

From shoplifting at a local store to more serious cases like burglary or fraud, we represent people facing theft and property crime charges throughout the Rogers area.

Traffic Offenses

Traffic violations—like reckless driving, speeding, or driving without insurance—might seem minor, but they can add up fast. We help keep points off your record and avoid unnecessary license suspensions.

Probation Violations

If you’re on probation and have been accused of missing appointments, failing a drug test, or picking up a new charge, we’ll step in quickly to explain your side and work to keep you in compliance.

If you don’t see your specific charge here, just ask. Chances are we’ve handled something similar for someone right here in Rogers—and we’re ready to help you too.

Why You Should Hire a Rogers Criminal Defense Attorney Early

A lot of people wait too long to call a lawyer—hoping things might work themselves out. But if the police have questioned you, or you’ve already been charged, the prosecution is already building their case. You need someone doing the same for you.

Even if you think your case is minor—or if you’re considering pleading guilty—talk to us first. There may be legal defenses, alternatives to jail, or ways to protect your record that you haven’t considered.

Should I get a private attorney or a court-appointed attorney? Court-appointed attorneys are reserved for those who meet certain financial requirements to establish he or she is unable to afford a private attorney. If you can afford a private attorney, you should hire one. Fees will vary based upon the severity of each case and the experience of each of attorney. Our attorneys typically charge a flat fee which is fixed so you know exactly what you will have to pay for our representation from beginning to end.

I am guilty, so why do I need to fight my case? First, every individual was born with constitutional rights, specifically the right to privacy and the right to free from unlawful searches and seizures. If law enforcement violated your constitutional rights in the process of charging you, the state may have to dismiss your case. But this can only happen if the appropriate motions are filed with the court. Second, law enforcement can often overcharge, or the state can often over punish. Having an attorney, even if you are guilty, can ensure you are punished fairly for the right charge.

Can I not just represent myself? You can, but you will be held to the same standard through the legal process as if you were a licensed attorney. Certainly, the more severe the case, the higher the punishment range, the more complex the investigation process, the more there is a need to not only have an attorney, but an experienced one with respect to your particular case.

Why chose Miller | Butler? There are few charges, if any, our team at Miller Butler has not handled all the way though trial for our clients. The best asset you can have when defending against a criminal charge is the ability, knowledge, and experience to take your case to trial and make the state prove its case. To do that, you need an attorney with trial experience, and at Miller | Butler our team has that experience.
