Criminal Defense & DUI

Knowing your rights is crucial!

If you are questioned by law enforcement or are charged with a crime, you need an advocate to protect your civil liberties and to encourage a fair process. Having criminal charges brought against you can be stressful. Not knowing your rights can be devastating. If you have been questioned or arrested, do not delay in contacting me. As your attorney I will be sure your case is investigated and advise you of your defenses and whether there are grounds for dismissal or suppression of evidence. If your case does not get dismissed, I will advocate for you and negotiate with the government for a reduction in your charge and a fair consequence. If you exercise your right to a jury trial, I will present your case and your defenses to a jury.
