CRIMINAL DEFENSE

This web site is designed for general information only.

The information presented at this site should not be construed to be formal legal advice nor the formation of a lawyer/client relationship.

If you or someone you know has been arrested and charged with a criminal offense, it is important for you to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Criminal charges have the potential to result in very serious consequences that often affect, not only the person charged with a crime, but also that person's spouse, children or parents. An experienced criminal defense attorney will evaluate your case, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your case with you, identify your options and counsel you on the best course of action.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS - TIPS FOR TALKING TO THE POLICE

I handle most criminal matters including misdemeanor and felony charges in state courts. I handle all criminal charges including drunk driving, drug charges, violent crimes, and theft crimes. In addition, I provide representation for people who are under investigation for criminal activity, charged with a probation violation, or charged with a parole violation.

Juvenile Charges

If your child is charged with a criminal offense, get him/her an experienced criminal defense attorney as quickly as possible. A criminal record can have a detrimental effect on your child’s future. I will aggressively defend your child against all juvenile charges. In each case, I will seek the best possible result for your child. I will handle your child’s case with discretion. I consider and will advise you of the long-term implications of criminal proceedings and how it impacts on the future of your child.

Probation Violations and Parole Violations

If you, a family member or friend is charged with a probation violation or parole violation I will work with you and/or your family member or friend to consider their case from every possible angle to seek the best possible result in their case.

Expungements

If your underlying offense was in juvenile court and you have had no further problems with the law, or if you were involved in ARD you have a good chance of having your criminal record expunged. Depending on the facts of your case, you may be a candidate for an expungement. I can assist you in seeking an expungement of your criminal record.
