We defend people facing any type of criminal charge - and we take misdemeanor charges seriously. We can help you understand the charges against you and the possible sentence you may be facing.

• DUI: We will defend you against both the criminal charges and the administrative hearing that could cause you to lose your license.
• Traffic violations: One traffic ticket may be manageable, but two or three and you are facing significant fines and could lose your license. We defend on any traffic ticket, including driving on a suspended license, school zone violations, seat belt violations, speeding tickets, and construction zone violations
• Shoplifting: Many people think that if they cooperate with the store or sign a statement admitting guilt that they will not be charged with a crime. It's not true. In many cases the police will be called anyway. Before you say anything to store personnel or the police, talk to a lawyer.
• White collar crimes: Many different types of financial crimes fall under the category of white collar crime, including writing a bad check and identity theft. The consequences can be severe. Contact an attorney immediately.
• Drug crimes: Even a first conviction for simple possession can have serious consequences when it comes to school, financial aid, and employment.
• Sexual offenses: Get a defense lawyer working on your case immediately. Many sex crime charges carry the possibility of having to register as a sex offender.
• Assault and battery and domestic violence charges can show up in a criminal record check and make it difficult to find housing or prevent you from owning a gun. We take these charges seriously.
• Weapons charges can come from mishandling a legal handgun, as well as from using a weapon in the commission of a crime. We can help in either situation.
