If you have been charged with a crime, or you think you may be charged with a crime, you need to speak to someone who understands the system as soon as possible. Once charges are filed it is crucial that you assume the offensive and vigorously investigate and defend your case.

Even seemingly minor criminal charges can dramatically change your life in ways that you may not expect; for example, any conviction for an offense that is designated “domestic violence” will mean that you are prohibited under federal law from owning or purchasing a gun. This ban lasts for the rest of your life unless you either fight the charges now or are successful in getting the charges expunged from your record later.

I handle the following types of criminal matters:

• Drunk Driving – misdemeanor and felony (see our separate section on DUI)
• All driving and traffic offenses including Reckless and Aggressive Driving
• Assault
• Criminal Damage
• Disorderly Conduct
• Trespassing
• Violating an Order of Protection or an Injunction Against Harassment
• Interfering with Judicial Proceedings
• All cases of alleged Domestic Violence
• Theft
• Shoplifting
