We are even better at upholding justice when law enforcement has pushed the edge and stepped on your protected rights. We use the law to safeguard your rights. We take charge in the courtroom with an aggressive, intelligent approach.
Whether you are facing charges for tax fraud, money laundering, drug dealing, mail and wire fraud, drunk driving, weapons offenses or murder, our attorneys will help you understand the charges you are facing and your legal options. We will investigate the nature of your arrest, speak with witnesses, including various forensic experts, and gather records to create a strong defense. We do not guarantee the outcome of your case, no attorney can, but we commit to exploring every possibility to dismiss or reduce charges, minimize penalties and seek alternative sentencing, including probate.
