CRIMINAL DEFENSE
A criminal conviction - even for a relatively minor offense - can have numerous lasting effects. In addition to the possibility of time in jail or prison and hefty fines, a criminal record can impact a person's ability to get or keep a job, attend school, obtain professional licenses, and more. That's why it is so important for anyone charged with a crime - from the lowest misdemeanors to the highest felonies - to be represented by experienced, competent counsel.
