Services
Personal Injury
Our personal injury practice helps clients recover compensation for car accidents, slip-and-falls, and other negligence cases. We handle medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering claims while navigating insurance negotiations. With courtroom-ready preparation, we secure settlements or litigate when necessary to maximize client recovery.
Criminal Defense
We defend clients facing felony and misdemeanor charges including DWI, drug offenses, and sex crimes. Leveraging former prosecutorial experience, we challenge evidence, protect constitutional rights, and develop defense strategies tailored to each case's unique circumstances while maintaining open client communication throughout the legal process.
DWI Defense
Specialized defense against DWI charges including blood alcohol test challenges, license suspension hearings, and implied consent law violations. We utilize technical knowledge of field sobriety tests and chemical testing procedures to build defenses while negotiating reduced charges or securing dismissals when possible.
Expungement
We assist clients in clearing criminal records through expungement and nondisclosure orders. Our process includes petition preparation, court representation, and navigating eligibility requirements to help individuals remove barriers to employment, housing, and professional licensing opportunities.
Car Accident Claims
We handle all aspects of car accident cases from liability determination to settlement negotiations. Services include documenting injuries, calculating future medical costs, and pursuing compensation for property damage while countering insurance company tactics to undervalue claims.
