Misdemeanor and Felony Defense
Criminal charges in Indiana carry consequences that reach far beyond the courtroom — your record, your driver's license, your job, and your family. Cranston Law takes a disciplined, case-first approach: examining how the case started, how the evidence was gathered, and what outcome actually protects your future.
Gregory Cranston Sr. represents clients charged with misdemeanors and felonies throughout Fort Wayne, Allen County, and the surrounding Northeast Indiana counties, and appears in the courts where those cases are heard.
What We Do From Day One
The earliest decisions in a criminal case are often the most important. As your defense attorney, Cranston Law:
- Explains the charges, the possible penalties, and the court process in plain language.
- Reviews the police report, evidence, and how the stop or investigation was handled.
- Appears with you at hearings and communicates with prosecutors on your behalf.
- Pursues the best realistic outcome — dismissal, reduction, diversion where available, or trial.
Payment Plans and Flexible Meetings
Quality defense should not depend on what you can pay today. Cranston Law offers easy payment plans arranged to fit your circumstances, and can meet with you at the office, the courthouse, or another location across Northeast Indiana.
Common Questions
Should I talk to the police before hiring an attorney?
You have the right to remain silent and the right to counsel. It is almost always best to speak with an attorney before answering questions about an alleged offense. Call 260-704-8422 first — the call is confidential.
Do you handle cases outside of Allen County?
Yes. Cranston Law serves Allen County and the surrounding Northeast Indiana counties, including Steuben, DeKalb, Noble, LaGrange, Whitley, Huntington, Wells, and Adams counties.
What happens at the first court appearance?
The first appearance is typically where charges are formally presented and initial conditions are set. Having an attorney with you early helps ensure the case starts on the right footing. Contact the office as soon as you know a date has been set.
