Criminal Defense
Felony Crimes
When you are facing the full force of the government, experience matters. Bringing a unique perspective from both sides of the criminal justice system, including extensive experience in law enforcement, we know exactly how the state builds its cases. We systematically deconstruct the prosecution's evidence, fiercely protect your rights, and provide the strategic defense you need when the stakes are highest.
Misdemeanor Crimes
A misdemeanor conviction carries consequences that can follow you for a lifetime, threatening your freedom, employment, and reputation. Navigating the legal system without an advocate often severely limits your choices. We aggressively protect your rights and negotiate on your behalf to uncover options—such as diversion programs or reduced charges—that you might not otherwise know exist.
Traffic Offenses
When contesting a traffic citation, understanding exactly how these tickets are issued and prosecuted is a distinct advantage. Leveraging years of experience from the other side of the badge, we know how to effectively challenge traffic offenses. We negotiate aggressively with the state to secure resolutions that keep points off your license and protect you from skyrocketing insurance costs. Often times there are options the state can offer to help dispose of your ticket and we leverage our knowledge to have these options extended to our clients!
DWI/DUI
A conviction instantly threatens your freedom and your livelihood. Fighting these highly technical and scientific charges requires an attorney who knows how to dismantle the state’s case from the inside out. As a former Law Enforcement Training Officer, SFST Instructor, and ARIDE-certified officer, our attorney knows the exact procedures the police must follow—and exactly how to expose their mistakes. We have the resources, knowledge, and expert connections to force the state to prove its case and relentlessly defend your rights.
Drug Crimes
Drug charges often hinge on one critical question: Did the police violate your rights? As a nationally recognized, published author on 4th Amendment Search and Seizure law and a former law enforcement Lieutenant, our attorney knows exactly where investigations fall apart. We aggressively dissect every detail of your traffic stop, search, and arrest, holding the police accountable to the strict procedures they must follow. If your constitutional rights were compromised, we fight to get that evidence thrown out.
We also understand that drug charges often stem from the very real battle of addiction. If a conviction is likely, we don't stop fighting for you—we leverage our experience to negotiate alternative sentencing, diversion programs, and treatment options designed to mitigate the impact on your record and protect your future.
