Our Criminal Defense Services

As criminal defense attorneys, our main job is to provide the accused with the legal protections they deserve. We will examine any and all evidence against you, and work to help persuade the judge to return a not guilty verdict. Read more below for all of the criminal defense cases we can help you or your loved one defend yourself against. 

Aggravated Assault. If you have been accused of committing aggravated assault, it means you have attempted to cause serious bodily harm to another person. This charge will become more serious if a weapon was involved, if the victim sustained injuries, and the perpetrator's intent. 

Appeals and Post-Conviction. If you or a loved one has been already found guilty, we can aid in the post-conviction legal process and help you to file an appeal to change the final verdict. 

Burglary. If you have been caught trying to enter illegally into a building or residence with an intent to commit thievery, you will be charged with burglary.  

Domestic Violence. This type of crime is not only physical but also mental and sexual, and insinuates that the accused was abusing their partner, family member, friend, etc. 

Disorderly Conduct. As this is a rather general term, a disorderly conduct charge typically falls under the umbrella of engaging in an activity or non-peaceful event that will likely result in other people being alarmed, angry, or annoyed. 

Felony. If you have been charged with a felony, it means you were participating in a serious crime and will need a great defense lawyer.

Fraud. Being charged with fraud means the accused has deliberately acted with the intention of obtaining an unauthorized benefit. Types of fraud typically include embezzlement, forgery, manipulation, ethics violations, and more. 

Gun Charges. If you or a loved one has been caught with a gun but not a permit to carry a gun, you will be charged. Gun charges can also be applied to the accused if they are improperly buying, selling, possessing or using firearms.

Larceny. If you have been accused of stealing one's personal property, then you will be charged for larceny.  

Embezzlement. Being charged with embezzlement means that someone has stolen or moved money around without authority from an employer, business partner, family member, or anyone who might have trusted the accused to handle the money. 

Manslaughter. Manslaughter is the unfortunate crime of killing someone without any intention to. The person accused of this had no malice intentions but was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. 

Misdemeanor. If you have been accused of a misdemeanor, you were likely involved in a situation where minor harm or damage was done to a person or to property. 

Police Brutality. Those accused of police brutality likely partook in beatings, verbal or physical abuse, unlawful killings, or torture to someone undeserving. 

Probation Violations. If you have been put on probation following a court hearing but you fail to follow the conditions of said probation, then you will be in violation. 

Perjury. If you or a loved one were ever put on stand and sworn under oath to speak only the truth but you did not, then you will be charged with perjury. 

Robbery. One will be charged with robbery if they took property or anything of value from a person or a place by force. 

Sexual Assault. If you or a loved one has been accused of attempted rape, making unwanted sexual advances, or forcing another person to perform sexual acts, then you will be charged with sexual assault. 

White Collar Crimes. These types of crimes are generally not violent and can include corruption, fraud of any kind, or laundering.
