We represent clients in cases across the spectrum of criminal defense. You can come to us after an arrest for driving under the influence, possession of marijuana or shoplifting.
We can help your family after your child has been charged with a juvenile crime. We can defend your rights if you have been accused of a sex crime, domestic violence or even a major felony such as murder. Our attorneys are recognized for having the mettle to effectively represent clients in cases where the death penalty is possible.
Our lawyers are frequently seen on TV, from Fox Business News to HLN.
For more than 18 years, we have been fighting for the rights of the accused. Maybe you are innocent and have been falsely accused of committing a crime.
