ABOUT

SPECIALIZING IN CRIMINAL DEFENSE AND CIVIL LITIGATION

Being convicted of a crime can have permanent, life changing consequences. If you are facing misdemeanor or felony criminal charges, your first step should be to invoke your right to remain silent. Your next step should be to find yourself competent legal representation. You have choices, and it is important that you choose a defense attorney that is experienced, knowledgeable, and effective.

We specialize in criminal defense but also represent clients in civil matters such as negligence actions, personal injury, wrongful termination, contract disputes, work comp, wrongful imprisonment and civil right violations, sexual harassment, slip and fall, and negligent engine repair claims.
