Criminal Defense
We work closely with people who have been charged with felonies or misdemeanors, from property crimes such as burglary and breaking and entering to violent crimes, including murder. We take quick action to protect your rights, seeking the exclusion of evidence, the dismissal of charges, or the removal of a judge, if warranted. To learn more, see our criminal defense page.
Drug Offenses
We aggressively defend individuals who have been charged with violating state or federal drug laws by the possession, sale or trafficking, manufacture, or importation or cultivation of illegal drugs, narcotics or controlled substances. We carefully examine the procedural as well as the legal issues, verifying that you received proper warnings, that there was probable cause for your arrest, and that the arresting authorities followed procedure. See our drug crimes page for more information.
Violent Crimes
We handle the defense of a broad range of violent crimes, including murder, assault, battery, and retaliation against a witness. We verify that all 4th Amendment search and seizure rules are followed and help you understand when you must talk to the police and when you can exercise your right to remain silent. For more information, see our violent crimes page.
White Collar Crime
We work closely with men and women who have been charged with crimes arising out of their relationship with an employer or organization. These types of charges can include fraud, embezzlement, forgery or public corruption. See our white collar crime page for more information.
Immigration
We also handle matters related to immigration litigation and deportation defense. If an alien has been deported as a result of a conviction, that alien is unable to return to the United States without prior authorization from the United States Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security. If the deported alien returns, he/she is facing criminal charges, often with lengthy prison sentences.
