Protecting clients for more than 18 years
The Law Office represents clients in the following criminal matters:

Felonies
If you have been charged with a felony, it is essential to have an experienced criminal defense attorney zealously defend you in court. Felonies are extremely serious crimes — murder, rape, armed robbery, credit card fraud and burglary — and have serious consequences. A convicted felon will be sentenced to serve at least one year in a state or federal prison and may be committed for life. In addition, convicted felons are stripped of many of the rights guaranteed to American citizens, including the right to vote, the right to travel out of the country and the right to own a gun. Convicted felons also have to disclose their crimes on job applications and can be deported if they are not American citizens.

How you handle a felony charge can make the difference between life and death. The Law Office has more than 18 years of experience handling felony charges and will work to attain the best possible result for you.

Misdemeanors
Misdemeanors are crimes punishable by less than one year in prison and may include such offenses as disorderly conduct, simple assault, shoplifting and trespassing. Although misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, having a misdemeanor conviction on your criminal record can limit your employment options and require you to spend time in jail. Let the Law Office represent you and ensure that you receive a fair trial.

Motor vehicle offenses
If you have been charged with operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving with a suspended license, or committing vehicular manslaughter, our attorney can help put you back in the driver’s seat. The firm also assists clients in restoring their drivers licenses and fighting traffic tickets.

Drug crimes
Being charged with trafficking, distributing or possessing illegal substances or paraphernalia can result in heavy fines and extended time in jail. You can rely on the firm’s knowledge of drug crimes and its history of successful results to help you minimize or eliminate the charges against you.

Sexual offenses
Rape and sexual assault cases are often among the hardest for defendants to win. Our Attorney has the experience and skills to successfully argue these cases. Contact the firm today.

Sealing and expunging records
A criminal record can prevent a person from pursuing higher education, securing a dream job or traveling abroad. The Law Office can help you eliminate past criminal charges from your record, or seal those records to help you move on in the future.
