Criminal Defense

We vigorously defend and protect the constitutional rights of people accused of and under investigation for alleged violations of criminal law. Our practice involves a broad array of experience. In recent years we have provided representation in connection with:
  • Tax Violations
  • Bank Fraud
  • Drunk Driving
  • Embezzlement
  • Sexual Misconduct
  • Narcotics Offenses
  • Corruption Probes
  • Criminal Negligence
  • Arson

Our goal is the early termination of investigation without charges being filed, the dismissal of charges, or acquittal. When conviction is inevitable we seek the minimum sentence in the most comfortable facility with an eye toward early release. Among our many clients we have obtained the following results:

Acquittals in federal criminal trials involving armored car robbery, drug and gun trafficking charges.

A non-jail disposition for a government official who admitted to embezzling school funds.
