Criminal Defense

When you are facing a criminal charge, it is important to know your rights, and to have an attorney who will rigorously defend you in court. Whether you are facing a misdemeanor charge, a first-time DUI, or a felony charge, a criminal defense attorney can help ensure your rights are protected. One of the most important aspects of working with an attorney is information; the more you can tell them about the events leading up to your arrest, the better. Remember, you should avoid volunteering any information, or answering questions from law enforcement prior to having a discussion with an attorney.

Even a minor criminal charge can have a devastating impact on you and your family; local newspapers often carry the names of those who are arrested, even before charges are filed. This can often lead to a loss of reputation. Charges can mean steep fines, the loss of freedom, or the temporary loss of your driving rights. We are here to help you through the criminal process; from the day you are arrested until the resolution of your case, we will keep you informed of the process, and will prepare an aggressive defense on your behalf.
