    • Personal injury

CRIMINAL LAW

  • Despite suggestions by some, the rigorous protections afforded to the criminally-accused by our Constitution are not frivolous niceties or formalities freely ignored, but instead are foundational pillars upon which our constitutional freedoms rest. Indeed, one can be deprived of virtually every other constitutional right by being deprived of one’s liberty in criminal proceedings!

    For these reasons, we take criminal representations with the utmost concern that our clients are innocent until proven guilty, and it is the government’s job to prove each element of the case beyond a reasonable doubt. We work tirelessly to defend clients charged with criminal matters ranging from minor misdemeanors related to drug possession to felony charges. Regardless of the charges against you, we will work aggressively to defend you in a court of law for the following offenses as well as others not specifically listed:

    DUI/DWI

    Let’s face it, virtually anyone who consumes alcohol could most likely have been caught and convicted of driving under the influence at some point in their lifetime, even if just after having had a couple of glasses of wine with dinner. If you have received a citation or been arrested for DUI, please contact us for a free consultation and be sure to protect yourself and your record.

    DRUG CRIMES

    Drug crimes may be state or federal charges involving the possession, sale, distribution, manufacture, cultivation, or trafficking of controlled substances and narcotics. These include marijuana, cocaine, crack, heroin, methamphetamines, steroids, and other illegal drugs, including the unauthorized use or distribution of prescription medicines.

  • PROBATION VIOLATIONS

    If you have been convicted of a crime and placed on probation, you are generally subject to terms and conditions of release imposed by the court. When these terms are violated, you may be required to appear before a judge concerning the violation. Depending on the nature of your violation, your probation may be extended or you may be required to serve time in jail or prison. A skilled criminal defense attorney can defend you in such cases.

    THEFT CRIMES

    Theft crimes can range from minor shoplifting charges to burglary, carjacking, and armed robbery. They can also include white collar crimes, such as passing bad checks, forgery, and identity theft. These crimes are often punished with jail or prison sentences, heavy fines, restitution to victims, and more.

    VIOLENT CRIMES

    Violent crimes include any criminal offense which involves the use of force or threat of force against victims. These include assault and battery, domestic violence, kidnapping, arson, weapons charges, manslaughter, and murder. Violent crimes are heavily punished by the criminal court system, which means you will need a thorough and skilled defense.

    FEDERAL CRIMES

    Federal crimes are often more serious than crimes charged in state court. The federal government generally has more resources, including better trained and paid investigators from agencies like the FBI, DEA, AT&F and Homeland Security. If you are being investigated by a federal agency or are charged with a federal crime you cannot afford to be represented by an attorney who is not deeply experience in federal criminal procedure.
