Mr. Bolton has handled thousands of criminal offenses in State court, including Drug Possession offenses, Drug Manufacturing/Delivery offenses, Theft and Fraud offenses, Weapons offenses, Assault offenses, Burglary offenses, Drivers License offenses, Intoxication Manslaughter, Municipal citation offenses, and other offenses.
