Former Prosecutors – Experienced Trial Lawyers

Each of our three criminal defense attorneys has formerly served as a prosecutor. We strongly believe our prosecutorial experience provides clients with a decided advantage in criminal cases. As former prosecutors, we have a better understanding of how prosecutors think, the local courts, procedures and issues that are central to raising an effective defense.

We actively negotiate on our client’s behalf, move to suppress unlawfully obtained evidence, and never hesitate to take a case to trial if we believe it is in our client’s best interest. We prepare for every case as if it may go to trial and are always prepared to advocate powerfully for the protection of our client’s rights, record and freedom.

A Full Service Practice

We offer a full service criminal law practice. In addition to handling all criminal charges, we assist clients with expungements and sealing of records, probation violations, parole violations and criminal investigations.
