Carman Dan Attorney At Law

Divorce

Criminal Defense
If you are looking for a tough and tested criminal defense attorney in Lexington, KY, who knows how to show up strong, then you are looking for Attorney Dan Carman. A former Marine Corps JAG prosecutor, Dan earned his stars in some of the toughest courtrooms imaginable. He brings his disciplined military legal training to the table as a criminal defense attorney in Lexington, KY. Attorney Carman aggressively defends his clients and successfully guides them through a complicated legal system.
DUI/DWI
No matter what your circumstances, being arrested for DUI comes with consequences, bringing emotional and social costs as well as financial ones. If you are convicted of a DUI in Kentucky, in addition to the cost of fines and increased insurance payments, you may face jail time and wind up with a criminal record that will follow you for the rest of your life, affecting your prospects for education, job opportunities, government benefits, and social relationships.
Traffic Violations
Sixteen- and 17-year-old drivers can have their licenses suspended under the relatively new “No Pass/No Drive” law if they drop out of school or let their grades drop. Further, Kentucky has a points system that assigns penalty points of varying degrees for traffic violations.
Sex Crimes
If you or your loved one has been charged with a sex crime in Kentucky, work on your defense should begin immediately. Calling a competent Kentucky sexual offense attorney like Dan Carman is the first step you should take. They will review the charges and the facts of the case and build the best defense possible for you or your loved one.
Fraud
Healthcare Fraud: Inventing medical bills or “padding” actual bills with medical products or services not actually provided can be a state or federal crime.
Robbery
Some criminal charges such as robbery, assault, and drug trafficking are charged or sentenced more severely if the accused has a firearm in his or her possession during the crime.
Burglary
In Kentucky, burglary is defined as knowingly entering into a building, structure, or other real property without the authority to do so with the intent of committing a crime. Thus, the crime of burglary has two elements: entering and intent.
Theft
Misdemeanors
If you or a family member has been arrested on misdemeanor or felony criminal charges, it is crucial to hire the best possible attorney you can afford to represent you in local, state, or federal court.
Embezzlement
Crimes that do not involve the use of any force or injury to another person are considered to be non-violent crimes. Most of these types of crimes involve property damage, such as theft or embezzlement. Many drug offenses are considered non-violent, as are white collar offenses such as forgery and racketeering. The level of seriousness is usually measured in terms of economic damage or loss to the victim. Non-violent crimes are often punishable by a fine or relatively short jail sentence, though there are some that carry very harsh punishments.
Drug Crimes
If you’ve been arrested for a drug crime, you’re probably scared and feeling uncertain about what happens next. Lexington drug defense lawyer Dan Carman understands that sometimes people make mistakes, but it doesn’t have to ruin the rest of your life.
Assault
Being charged with assault and battery in Kentucky can have serious implications for the accused, from victim compensation to fines and even jail time. A conviction for assault and battery can bring a criminal record that may potentially last forever, negatively affecting your professional and personal life in many ways.
Murder
Merriam-Webster Dictionary has a very simple definition for murder: “The crime of unlawfully killing a person, especially with malice aforethought.” Kentucky Revised Statute 507.020 says a person is guilty of murder when, “With intent to cause the death of another person, he causes the death of such person or of a third person...” and goes on to say, “Murder is a capital offense.”
Juvenile Crimes
Probation Violation

They have represented clients faced with a variety of criminal offenses, along with probation violations, and are well equipped to assist your son or daughter with their case.

Contact him today for a free initial consultation by calling 859-685-1055 or by filling out this online form.
Identity Theft
We strive to provide the best possible defense to anyone accused of a crime, whether their case is at the local court in Scott County, at the Madison County District Court, or at circuit court. We have trial experience ranging from perjury to harassment, identity theft to probation violations, and everything in between.
Homicide
Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) § 507.050 states that a person is guilty of reckless homicide when, with recklessness, he or she causes the death of another person. A “reckless” act occurs when a person consciously disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk with respect to the circumstances surrounding his or her conduct or to the result of that conduct. The risk must be of such a nature and degree that its disregard constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable person would exercise under the same circumstances. The requirement of “recklessness” can also be established by showing that the accused acted intentionally or knowingly.
Arson
Arson in Kentucky is a felony charge that results from deliberately or wantonly/recklessly starting a fire or explosion. The most serious charge of arson in the first degree occurs if there is probable cause to believe that the accused started a fire or caused an explosion with the intent to destroy or damage a building and...
Shoplifting
Shoplifting: Defined as taking products from a retail store without paying. While it might seem like a minor offense, it’s taken very seriously in Kentucky.
Restraining Order
Sometimes, people are falsely accused of domestic violence. Whether done out of anger, or to gain an advantage in divorce proceedings, such an accusation has immediate and lasting consequences. A restraining order can be issued against you without your knowledge and without your having had the opportunity to defend yourself.
Forgery
Forgery: This covers creating, changing or the publication of a written instrument without having the owner’s knowledge or consent, with the intent to defraud.
Kidnapping
Kidnapping: Simple situations where someone is being held against their will can result in kidnapping charges. It need not be a complex scheme to extort large amounts of money.
Manslaughter
Class C felonies include such crimes as unauthorized and unlawful access to a computer, unauthorized use of a credit card involving $10,000 or more, assault in the second degree, and manslaughter in the second degree, and trafficking in a controlled substance (over a certain amount). Conviction for a Class C felony can result in a prison sentence of at least five and no more than 10 years in state prison.
Prostitution
Hit and Run
Protect yourself by talking to the experienced Lexington, KY, hit-and-run defense attorneys of the Carman Law Firm. We will examine the details of your case and use every available legal resource to build the strongest possible defense. Every situation has unique facts and circumstances affecting the outcome, and not all motor vehicle hit-and-run charges have to end in conviction.

Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Before entering private practice, Mr. Carman served as a law clerk for the Honorable Jennifer B. Coffman, United States District Courts for the Eastern (Chief Judge) and Western Districts of Kentucky. Prior to the clerkship, he served as a judge advocate in the United States Marine Corps. As a Captain, he served as a criminal defense attorney, where he defended those charged with rape, possession and distribution of drugs, possession of child pornography, larceny, hazing, obstruction of justice, and many other crimes. Mr. Carman also worked as a prosecutor, as well as a legal assistance attorney, during which time he assisted hundreds of clients with their problems in areas of domestic relations, consumer fraud, collections, landlord-tenant matters, and estate planning.
Property Damage
Today’s legal definition of the offense does not reference fault. Rather, the offense is committed when the driver fails to offer assistance and flees the scene. Chapter 189 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes states that the operator of any vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury, death, or property damage has a duty to immediately stop, ascertain the extent of the injury or damage, and render reasonable assistance. Moreover, the operator must give the other party certain information, including name, address, phone number, and insurance company details. This is true whether or not the other vehicle is occupied.
