Criminal Defense
Representing individuals facing criminal charges, particularly in federal court, is a core part of our practice. When someone is accused of a crime, we know that everything is at stake. We are zealous advocates for our clients, and are passionate about protecting our client’s rights.
From negotiating pre-trial resolutions, to jury trials and appeals, we represent clients at all stages of a criminal case. We also represent witnesses asked to testify in criminal cases, and individuals responding to grand jury subpoenas.
We are committed to providing honest and informed guidance to clients facing difficult decisions. We take the time to carefully assess the facts in every case, and work closely with our clients to understand their goals and reach the best outcome possible.
