Criminal Defense & Appeals

In today's world, actions that individuals and businesses make can involve both criminal and civil law elements. Federal, state and local governments are trending toward criminalizing matters that have previously been considered civil in nature. Our lawyers can advise clients in navigating the complex inticacies involved in election, campaign finance, corporate, business, environmental, and white collar crimes. We can assist clients with potential partner, director, or officer liability matters, whether the business is a partnership, corporation, association, limited liability company, trust or banking entity, or non-profit entity. Our aim is to assist clients in avoiding actions that could subject them to either criminal or civil claims.

Should a person or business become concerned that criminal claims for an action might be a possibility or threat, we can assist you in preparing a defense, and represent you before the appropriate law enforcement and judicial entity. We also assist clients with various other criminal offenses, such as DWI, DUI, and other cases.

Our attorneys have represented clients before municipal, justice, county, state, and federal courts.
