Criminal Defense

An arrest and criminal charges can originate from many situations and happen to anyone. If you are charged with a crime, you need a lawyer. An attorney is an advocate to stand between the accused and the government. More often than not, a conviction carries harsh penalties and hefty fines. A defendant’s life is negatively effected in numerous and often unforeseen ways. In addition to the financial and personal hardships associated with a conviction; a guilty verdict may result in other significant losses including reputation, employment, financial aid for college or custody of one’s children.

As a lawyer I often represent individuals who are in need of high quality defense in all types of criminal matters. Every aspect of criminal defense deserves attention to detail, proper investigation, and adequate research. Doing such requires the attorney communicate with the client, listen to their needs, and zealously advocate their position. We strictly adhere to these principals. Here, you are more than a number. We advocate in all facets of criminal court and the associated areas affecting liberty interests including conducting criminal trials, preliminary hearings, bond hearings, civil forfeiture hearings, orders of protection, expungement, probation and parole and post conviction proceedings among others.

From a Class C misdemeanor to a Class A felony, we zealously advocate to protect our clients and secure a favorable outcome.
