Active defense against felony charges
As former prosecutors, we understand the procedures and know the judges, clerks, and sheriffs of the area courts. Not only do we know the court personnel, the court personnel knows us. This allows us to prepare our clients for the criminal justice process. We make sure that law enforcement personnel acted properly in the course of investigating and arresting our client. We file whatever motions are appropriate, including motions to dismiss the charges, motions to suppress evidence and motions to amend the charges.
We know that you don't want to go to jail, and will do whatever possible to achieve this goal. If you are convicted, we work to develop alternate penalties to prison. We have successfully obtained probation, credit for jail time served and reduced sentences in return for attendance at educational or rehabilitative programs.
