We provide defense for individuals who are involved in the following types of cases:
Domestic Violence / Restraining Orders
Charges of domestic violence can create serious damage to the reputation of the accused individual and often result in restraining orders against the alleged offenders. Domestic violence can be charged for physical, emotional, economic, and/or sexual abuse against a member of your household, a spouse or former spouse, a person you had a child with, or someone you are dating. The penalties for domestic violence depend on the severity of the alleged victim's injuries.
Driving Under the Influence
Driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance is a crime that carries serious penalties. From the loss of one's license to heavy fines and imprisonment, DUI charges can substantially complicate a defendant's life. We will handle your DUI case, whether it was a first offense, repeated offense, or has been aggravated by a serious accident or other crime.
Federal Crimes
Crimes that are in violation of federal legislation will likely be prosecuted as in federal court. A federal crime can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor depending on the severity of the offense. Various types of crimes fall under the classification of federal offenses, such as kidnapping across state lines, interstate drug trafficking, and bank robbery.
We are dedicated to defending the accused.
