Our Commitment

We don’t posture. We build defense strategies based on evidence, procedure, and where the case is likely to go — in or out of court.

FAQs

Here are answers to some common questions about our criminal defense services.

What should I do if I’ve been arrested?

Remain silent and request an attorney immediately. Don't explain or negotiate — let us handle that.

Can I get charges dropped or reduced?

Possibly. It depends on the evidence, police conduct, and how the prosecution is approaching your case. We evaluate all angles before advising.

What are the consequences of a DUI?

Penalties can include fines, license suspension, mandatory programs, or jail — especially for repeat offenses. We aim to limit the damage and preserve your record where possible.

Do I have to go to trial?

Not always. Many cases resolve through dismissal, plea deals, or diversion. That said, we prepare every case like it’s going to trial.

Will this affect my job or background check?

It can. We’ll walk you through what’s public, what’s permanent, and what can be mitigated — or avoided entirely.
