Criminal Defense Areas We Handle
DUI/DWI Defense
A DUI or DWI charge can result in license suspension, heavy fines, and even jail time. Our defense attorneys challenge field sobriety tests, breathalyzer accuracy, and the legality of traffic stops to build the strongest possible defense. We handle first-time offenses, repeat violations, and cases involving accidents or injuries.
Drug Charges
From simple possession to trafficking and manufacturing, drug charges carry severe penalties including mandatory minimum sentences. We examine search and seizure procedures, challenge the chain of custody of evidence, and explore diversion programs or alternative sentencing options to protect your future.
Assault & Violent Crimes
Assault charges range from misdemeanor simple assault to felony aggravated assault and can carry significant prison time. Our defense team investigates the circumstances surrounding the incident, identifies witnesses, and develops self-defense or justification arguments when applicable.
Theft & Property Crimes
Whether you are facing charges of shoplifting, burglary, robbery, or embezzlement, our attorneys understand the nuances of property crime defense. We negotiate with prosecutors for reduced charges and explore restitution agreements that may prevent a conviction on your record.
White Collar Crimes

Our team works with forensic accountants and financial experts to analyze complex evidence, challenge government interpretations, and protect professionals facing career-ending allegations.
