Practice Areas
Criminal Law
We represent individuals charged with misdemeanors and all classes of felonies, as well as probation violations. Our representation occurs from the setting and posting of bail, to consultation with witnesses and finally trial or plea in District or Superior Court. We aggressively negotiate with the District Attorney on our client’s behalf and seek the most advantageous judgment available from the Court. If a client is eligible, we assist in having a prior criminal conviction expunged from their record.
Traffic and DWI
We handle all manner of traffic violations. A simple traffic ticket can cause you to receive unwanted insurance and drivers license points that may result in substantially increased insurance premiums and the loss of your license. We seek to ensure our clients are protected from these results. In most traffic matters, our clients never need to appear in Court and consultations can generally be conducted via phone, fax or email.
We also represent those charged with driving while impaired (DWI). DWI’s are very complicated charges that in some instances can require lengthy jail sentences. We assist clients in defeating insufficient charges, minimizing required jail time and obtaining limited driving privileges to allow the client the ability to work and care for their family.
