About Us There are five stages in a criminal process. You need an attorney at each one. When facing serious criminal charges, you do not want to trust your fate and your future to an inexperienced attorney. Whether you are being investigated, being arrested, charged getting bail, or negotiating or going to trial, you need serious and tough representation. Senior firm partner attorney William Sumrall has over 35 years of criminal defense experience.

Welch, Jr. understands Mississippi criminal law like few other attorneys. Hoping that law enforcement will let it slide or the prosecution will dismiss the charges is not realistic.
