Criminal Defense Firm
Charged with a crime? Being investigated? Lose your driver’s license?
We can help!
We have 30 years’ experience representing clients charged with any and all crimes—from MIP to Murder—in the state and federal systems. We also represent clients who haven’t been charged but are being investigated by the police. Finally, we help clients get their driver’s licenses restored.
We offer a distinctive, winning edge through our knowledge and experience, our high levels of integrity and professionalism, and our commitment to excellence.
We FIGHT — for you, your rights, your dignity, and your reputation.
We PROTECT — you, your rights, your job, and your future.
We FOCUS — on you, your case, your concerns, your desires, and your best interests.
We TEACH — the law, legal procedure, and how best to navigate you through the rocky shoals of the justice system.
