Criminal DefenseA criminal arrest, especially on felony charges can turn a life upsidedown, ruin a reputation, and put the defendant at serious risk for long-range punishments.
DUI & DWI DefenseA local police or state patrol stop for suspicion of drunk driving shouldn’t be the end of the world for anyone — whether it’s your first offense or your third.
Drug ChargesA guilty verdict in a criminal trial for methamphetamine manufacture or heroin trafficking can put you in prison for years.
White-Collar CrimesWhether you are an executive or a receptionist, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, and you have a right to your day in court.
Fraud & ID TheftIn criminal law, fraud is a very broad category that includes a wide array of actions that many people do not even realize are crimes.

With so much at stake, if you face allegations of a violent crime, drug charge, sex crime, white-collar financial crime, or DUI/DWI, there is no substitute for having an experienced criminal defense attorney standing by to represent your interests.
