Practice Areas
Criminal defense
From investigation to trial, we’ve experienced it all. We’ve represented hundreds of clients charged with a range of crimes. We know what to expect and when to expect it. And we know how to effectively deal with police, prosecutors, judges, and juries.
Civil rights
We know police trample on people’s rights; we’ve seen it countless times. We also know how to hold police and those in power responsible and accountable for taking advantage of you.
Appeals
When the criminal legal system fails you, we know how to fight back. We’ll guide you through the appeals process and use our experience and knowledge to make the strongest case for you.
