Building a Case to Protect Your Freedom
We believe that the first step with any defense is to make sure that our client is fully advised as to the nature of their charge, court procedures, and all available defenses. Next, we do not believe that anyone charged with a serious offense should have to rely upon the police investigation. We regularly incorporate our own investigators and experts to help find the facts and evidence to help a client’s case.
We begin our criminal cases with a thorough and detailed client interview. We want to know exactly what happened from our client’s perspective, as well as their special concerns that they have. Many of our clients are good people who have found themselves in need of a second chance. Others have been falsely accused and need to clear their name. No matter which scenario applies, we want to do our best to ensure that their rights and interests are protected.

Although many cases are “routine” to the criminal justice system, they are not routine events for our clients and their families. Even misdemeanor convictions can result in lost employment opportunities. Don't wait to get the experienced help you need today.
