Criminal Defense

Our criminal defense attorneys include former prosecutors and certified criminal trial attorneys. Our representation often begins prior to the filing of formal charges and includes pre-indictment analysis. Our lawyers understand that it is often advisable to speak with prosecuting authorities before charges are filed. Once charges are brought we are familiar with and utilize various pre-trial procedures to advance our client’s interests. Our criminal trial attorneys have extensive trial experience. If a case proceeds to trial they have a history of mounting aggressive and persuasive defenses predicated upon the applicable facts and law.
