Criminal Defense

Have you been charged with a crime? How you are defended in court can make all the difference in the outcome of your case: guilty or not guilty, prison time or probation, a permanent criminal record or a charge that can eventually be erased from your record. Don’t let a criminal charge ruin your life, your family, your job or your future.
