Immediate and strategic investigations to protect your rights

One of the most important duties of your attorney, is to collect necessary evidence to build your defense. We will initiate an immediate investigation to collect and preserve evidence, including witness statements, hospital and police records, hard evidence, lab results, and accident reports. From your initial consultation, through negotiations, and trial where necessary, you can trust that we will leave no stone unturned in building the most strategic defense possible.

Defeat charges or minimize the consequences of any conviction

It is our primary objective to provide the most advantageous defense possible. While we work towards defeating your charges completely, we also know when it is a better option to plea bargain and negotiate with prosecutors for a lesser charge or penalty. Attorneys from our firm are aggressive, knowledgeable, and committed to shielding our clients from the collateral consequences of a criminal charge, including license suspension, community service, fines, employment barriers, and a criminal record.
