Our Criminal Defense Services
Misdemeanors
A misdemeanor charge may seem minor, but it can lead to lasting consequences, including fines, probation, and a permanent criminal record. We work proactively to resolve cases efficiently, seeking outcomes that protect your future and minimize the impact on your life.
Felonies
Felony charges bring harsh consequences, including prison time and the loss of fundamental rights. We craft a strategic defense tailored to the details of your case, working to challenge the allegations and protect your future.
Driving Under the Influence or Boating Under the Influence
A DUI or BUI arrest can put your freedom and driving privileges at risk, leading to license suspension, heavy fines, and even jail time. We carefully examine every detail—from the initial traffic stop to the reliability of sobriety tests—to challenge the case against you and seek the best possible outcome.
Drug Offenses
Drug charges, whether possession, distribution, or trafficking, carry serious, life-altering consequences. A conviction can mean heavy fines, extensive prison time, and a lasting criminal record that impacts your future. We fight aggressively to challenge the evidence, minimize penalties, and safeguard your rights at every stage of the legal process.
Order of Protection
An Order of Protection can restrict communication, firearm rights, and residency, with potential criminal consequences. A strong defense requires challenging weak evidence, inconsistencies, and procedural errors. If you've been served with an Order of Protection, securing experienced legal representation is crucial.
Traffic Citations
A traffic citation can lead to fines, points on your license, and higher insurance rates. For CDL holders, violations can jeopardize your career. Our experienced attorneys know how to challenge tickets, negotiate penalties, and protect your future. Don’t risk costly consequences—let us fight for you.
Expungements
A criminal record can limit job, housing, and financial opportunities. Expungement erases eligible offenses, offering a fresh start. Our attorneys navigate the process to ensure compliance and maximize success. Take control of your future with skilled legal representation.
