CRIMINAL LAW
We aggressively represent and defend individuals accused of crimes, ranging from DUI and drug possession, to complex fraud and murder. Years of combined experience as former prosecutors and investigators, as well as trying cases in private practice, gives us the perspective necessary to grasp these high stakes. We understand that the consequences of criminal charges or convictions are extremely high for our clients and their families, which is why we focus not only on advocating for our client's interests, but also on guiding them compassionately through this difficult process. We also assist clients in resolving related matters, including campus disciplinary proceedings and workplace investigations.
