Criminal Defense 

Our criminal law team represents individuals accused of state and federal crimes.  We handle cases ranging from misdemeanors to serious felony crimes.  Successfully tried cases include murder, assault, possession of controlled substances, driving under the influence of intoxicants, theft, weapons offenses, and domestic violence.

Your criminal defense requires experience and extensive knowledge of the criminal justice system.  We have over 25 years of criminal litigation experience and over 200 jury trials.  Our team consists of former prosecutors and current defense attorneys who know how the police investigate, why grand juries indict, and how trials are decided in the courtroom.  We have trial experience, knowledge of the system, and a reputation for professionalism.  When we negotiate, prosecutors listen.  We get the best results for our clients.

Crime Victim Representation

Victims have constitutional rights that are often ignored.  As former prosecutors, we make sure your voice is heard.  We will enforce your rights during the criminal process and maximize your compensation in civil court.  We represent all victims, including those affected by assault, identity theft, elder abuse, sex abuse, child abuse, and discrimination.  We stand up for victims so they can fight back.
