Practice Areas

Criminal

Traffic

Before paying a traffic ticket, consult with an experienced traffic attorney. Paying a traffic ticket is an admission of guilt and can lead to license points, insurance points, possible revocation of your driving privileges, and even a criminal record. Additionally, without the assistance of counsel, a traffic ticket can cause a significant financial burden with drastic increases to insurance premiums.

Felonies and Misdemeanors

Facing a criminal charge is a challenging and stressful situation. The range of possibilities you may face, whether a permanent record, fine, jail, or prison, can have serious consequences. Our aggressive approach to early investigation, thorough case preparation, and litigation skills will help to achieve the best possible outcome.

Pre-Indictment Representation

If you are the subject or target of an investigation, we can provide crucial assistance to you at this early stage. By interviewing witnesses, reviewing evidence, analyzing potential legal issues, or communicating with law enforcement, we can often secure a more favorable result. At a minimum, we can ensure that your rights are fully protected and a bad situation doesn’t get worse.

Expunctions

If you have applied for a job, school admission, or an apartment lease, any mark on your record may create a problem. Under certain circumstances, our firm can help you expunge, or erase a prior charge or conviction.

Civil

Law Enforcement Misconduct

If you feel your constitutional rights have been violated or if you are a victim of law enforcement misconduct, you should speak with an attorney, to ensure your rights are protected. Law enforcement misconduct can include wrongful arrests, unjustified searches, unlawful destruction of evidence, excessive force, or unlawful police shootings. The law firm also assists complainants with the Citizens Review Board (CRB) grievance process. The CRB reviews appeals by individuals who receive an unsatisfactory finding from CMPD’s internal affairs following a complaint filed against a sworn police officer. Complaints range from false arrest, excessive force, or other types of misconduct.

Employment Law

Our firm represents clients in workplace related matters including wrongful termination, harassment, discrimination, and other employment issues. We will diligently represent the rights of our clients in administrative proceedings through the litigation process. In addition, our firm provides counseling services to clients including review of employment agreements and severance packages.
