An Experienced Attorney Who Understands How to Protect His Clients
Our law firm focuses our practice on two specific areas of law in which we believe we can do the most good for our clients: criminal defense and personal injury lawsuits.
In our criminal practice, we handle cases ranging from DUI defense to domestic violence assaults and other violent felonies.
In our personal injury practice, we help people injured in auto accidents and other accidents obtain fair compensation through negotiation or jury trial whenever necessary. We also represent families of fatal accident victims in wrongful death lawsuits.
Whether our client is a criminal defendant charged with domestic violence or a child seriously injured after a car crash — the common theme of our work is thorough preparation and forceful advocacy on our clients' behalf.
No Guarantees Except Hard Work and Frequent Communication
Despite our lead attorney's decades of legal experience, we can never make promises to our clients about how their case will turn out. Instead, we can promise to get to work immediately on each client's case — we will review accident or arrest reports, interview witnesses and review medical reports. Then, as soon as we have a clear understanding of the circumstances, we promise to give each client a clear and thorough assessment of their legal options and the best way to proceed in their criminal or civil case.
