The longer you wait to start planning a defense, the more difficult the process becomes. We work from the moment we are retained as your criminal defense lawyers to prepare for your trial. From studying police procedures and the evidence asserted against you to questioning witnesses and probing for weaknesses, we know how to defend you against criminal charges.

For more than 40 years, our firm has fought to protect the rights of people accused of criminal conduct. We defend clients in both state and federal court. Our attorneys have experience defending clients against a wide range of criminal charges, including:

• DUI/DWI/drunk driving, driving under the influence 
• Violent crime, including murder, homicide, manslaughter,assault, robbery, etc.
• Drug crimes, including possession, posession with intent to deliver, delivery, trafficking, cultivation, and manufacture of cocaine, marijuana, crack, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, etc.
• Traffic offenses
• White collar crime, including fraud and embezzlement
• Sex crimes, including rape, child molistation and lewd conduct
• Post conviction relief, appeals
• All other felonies and misdemeanors

Our criminal defense practice covers all types of criminal accusations. We know criminal defense procedure and we can help you understand the criminal justice system.

We keep abreast of current legal developments so that we can draft persuasive motions to suppress evidence and other pre-trial motions. We are skilled negotiators who will plea-bargain if it is in your best interest and after we obtain your informed consent. But we are prepared to go to trial and vigorously defend you when that is in your best interest.

Contact us as soon as possible to retain the services of our experienced and aggressive criminal defense lawyers.
