On Your Side Every Step Of The Way

My practice can prepare you for a number of criminal defense situations such as:

  • Drug crimes, including possession, selling and trafficking from the
    misdemeanor to felony levels
  • Traffic violations, including speeding tickets
  • Violent crimes, including assault
  • Underage drinking and possession of alcohol
  • Other “student” crimes, including possession of false identification,
    larceny and shoplifting
  • White collar crimes, such as bank fraud and embezzlement
  • Federal crimes, including firearms violations and drug conspiracy

Because a criminal record can cause devastating consequences on your personal and professional future, we can work to expunge an arrest or conviction from your criminal record.
